Answer:

The mass's acceleration is 5 m/s^2 in the minus X direction and 9,8 m/s^2 in the minus Y direction.

Explanation:

By applying the second Newton's law in the X and Y direction we found that in the minus X direction an external force of 10 N is exerted, while in the minus Y direction the gravity acceleration is acting:

X-direction balance force: -10 [N] = m.ax

Y-direction balance force: -m*9,8 \frac{m}{s^2} = m.ay

Where ax and ay are the components of the respective acceleration and m is the mass. By solving for each acceleration:

ax=(-10 [N]) / m

ay=-m*9,8\frac{m}{s^2} / m

Note that for the second equation above the mass is cancelled and, the Y direction acceleration is minus the gravity acceleration:

ay=-9,8\frac{m}{s^2}

For the x component aceleration we must replace the Newton unit:

N =\frac{kg.m}{s^2}

ax= -10 \frac{kg.m}{s^2} / (2 kg)

ax= - 5 \frac{m}{s^2}

A boy throws a stone straight upward with an initial
Dominik [7]

Answer:

14.8m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed  = 17m/s

Unknown:

Maximum height  = ?

Solution:

At the maximum height, the final speed will be 0m/s;

 We use of the kinematics equation to solve this problem.

     V²   = U²   - 2gH

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

         0²   = 17²  -  (2  x 9.8 x h )

          0 = 289  - (9.6h)

         -289  = -19.6h

            h  = 14.8m

A very long string (linear density 0.7 kg/m ) is stretched with a tension of 70 N . One end of the string oscillates up and down
rewona [7]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Wavelength, The relationship between speed, voltage and linear density as well as frequency. By definition the speed as a function of the tension and the linear density is given by

V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}

Where,

T = Tension

\rho = Linear density

Our data are given by

Tension , T = 70 N

Linear density , \rho = 0.7 kg/m

Amplitude , A = 7 cm = 0.07 m

Period , t = 0.35 s

Replacing our values,

V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}

V = \sqrt{\frac{70}{0.7}

V = 10m/s

Speed can also be expressed as

V = \lambda f

Re-arrange to find \lambda

\lambda = \frac{V}{f}

Where,

f = Frequency,

Which is also described in function of the Period as,

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{0.35}

f = 2.86 Hz

Therefore replacing to find \lambda

\lambda = \frac{10}{2.86}

\lambda = 3.49m

Therefore the wavelength of the waves created in the string is 3.49m

Why does ice reflect more energy compared to water?
Stells [14]

Answer:

while ice is made by water again it melts and becomes water. water is colourless and odourless and has no taste but ice is only cold and hard. water is used for drinking and other things. but is for freshness and it never flows

Explanation:

so ice reflect more energy compared to water
