Answer:

2.26m/s^2

Explanation:

Suppose the tension in the ribbon is T.

The upwards component of the tension = Tcos13

The horizontal component of the tension = Tsin13

The weight of the medal = mg

In a vertical direction, mg is balanced by Tcos13, so mg=Tcos13, so T  = mg/cos13. The horizontal component of T is the force causing m to accelerate.  

F = ma\\T\sin13^{\circ} = ma

Substituting T= mg/cos13 gives:

\frac{mg}{cos13^{\circ}}sin13^{\circ} = ma

m cancels and you have

g\tan13 = a\\a=9.81\tan13^{\circ} \approx 2.26m/s^2

Airida [17]

Answer:

Microwave towers are telecommunications towers that use microwaves to transmit telephone and television signals to other microwave towers.

A book has been lifted 1.5 meters into the air giving it 30J of potential energy. How much force was used to lift it
joja [24]

Answer:

Force on the object is 20 N

Explanation:

As we know that work done to raise the book from initial position to final position is known as potential energy stored in it

So here we know that

U = F.s

here we know that

U = 30 J

s = displacement = 1.5 m

so we have

30 = F(1.5)

F = 20 N

If it takes 50n of force to lift a 450n what is the ma of the machine
otez555 [7]

If the machine is 100% efficient, then its
Mechanical Advantage is (450/50) = 9 .

If the machine is less than 100% efficient,
then the MA is more than 9 .
