Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) 2.7 m/s²

b) -3.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass of the toolbox = 3.2 kg

a = ?

F = 40 N and F = 20 N

g = 9.81 m/s²

Formula

Second law of motion = F = ma

                              a + g = F / m

                              a = F/m - g

a)                            a = 40/3.2 - 9.81

                              a = 2.69 ≈ 2.7 m/s²   positive up

b)                            a = 20/ 3.2 - 9.81

                              a = 6.25 - 9.81

                                  = - 3.56 ≈ - 3.6 m/s²  negative down

Explain how a star's absorption spectrum and the concept of red shift help support the Big Bang Theory.
marta [7]

Answer:

Red shift supports the big bang theory. ... The light from distant galaxies is red shifted (this tells us the galaxies are moving away from us) and the further away the galaxy the greater the red shift (this tells us that the more distant the galaxy the faster it is moving). Constellations look like they are moving because earth is rotating on it's axis.

Two firefighters are trying to break through a door. One firefighter is heavy, and the other is light. If they run at the same s
frez [133]

Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects.  As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.

A scientist wants to model an internal organ with connective tissue as a mass on a spring. The mass of the organ is 2.0 kg, and
vichka [17]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 5483.11 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the organ, m = 2 kg

The natural period of oscillation is, T = 0.12 s

Let k is the spring constant for the spring in the scientist's model. The period of oscillation is given by :

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

k=\dfrac{4\pi^2 m}{T^2}

k=\dfrac{4\pi^2 \times 2\ kg}{(0.12\ s)^2}

k = 5483.11 N/m

So, the  spring constant for the spring in the scientist's model is 5483.11 N/m.
