Answer:
However, the disadvantages are:
1. Many atimes for some motion prolems, free-body diagrams has to be drawn many times so to have enough equations to solve for the unknowns. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.
2. In situations where we need to find the internal forces acting on an object, we can't truly solve such problems using free-body diagram as it captures external forces. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.
Explanation:
Often times the ideal method to use in solving motion problem related questions are mostly debated.
Energy conservation principles applies to isolated systems are useful when object changes their positions in moving upward or downward converts its potential energy due to gravity for kinetic energy, or the other way round. When energy in a system or motion remains constant that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can therefore be easier to calculate other unknown paramters like in the motion problem velocity, distance bearing it in mind that energy can only change from one type to another.
On the other hand, free body diagram which is a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object including their directions has so many advantages in solving motion related problems which include finding relationship between force and motion in identifying the force acting on a body.
Answer:
From the second law of motion:
F = ma
we are given that the force applied on the block is 20N and the block accelerates at an acceleration of 4 m/s/s
So, F= 20N and a = 4 m/s/s
Replacing the variables in the equation:
20 = 4* m
m = 20 / 4
m = 5 kg
Answer:
B. 10m/s
Explanation:
If a drone flies 8 m/s due East with respects to the wind and the wind is blowing 6 m/s due North, the speed of the drone with respect to the ground is its displacement.
Displacement is calculated using Pythagoras theorem.
d² = 8²+6²
d² = 64+36
d² = 100
Square root both sides
√d² = √100
d = 10m/s
Hence the distance of the drone with respect to the ground is 10m/s
Option B is correct
This is a transform Boundrary
