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

calculate the efficiency of a light bulb that had an input of 400 j transfers 100j as a light and 300j as heat.​
beks73 [17]
Efficiency = useful energy out / total energy in x 100
= 100/400 x 100
=0.25 x 100
= 25%

Explanation:

If Distance (d) = 190m

Time (t) = 1.3s

Speed of sound in air (v) =?

then

2d=vt

v=2d/t

v= 2×190/1.3

v=292.31 m/s
