The net force will point towards the acceleration of the object, as supported by Newton's second law.
Answer:
(B) 0.5 g
Explanation:
Newton's second law says ∑ F i = m a .
the rate of change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force applied on the body.
f∝ma
f=kma
were k is constant and equal to 1
The centripetal acceleration is an acceleration.
the tension on the swing and object weight goes to the left hand side while the centripetal acceleration goes to the right handside
At the bottom of the swing, ΣF = FT – mg = mac;
notice that the tension in the swing is 1.5 times the weight of the object
we can write
1.5mg – mg = mac,
0.5mg = mac
0.5 g=ac
We use the formula,

Here, h is the variable represents the height of the flare in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.
Substituting these values in above equation, we get
.
Here, t= 0 neglect because it is the time when the flare is launched.
Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 72km/hr
Final velocity = 0km/hr
Time taken = 25s
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;
1000m = 1km
3600s = 1hr
72km/hr;
1km/hr = 0.278m/s
72km/hr = 0.278 x 72 = 20.02m/s
Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;
Acceleration =
Acceleration =
= -0.8m/s
The car is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s
