Answer:
4 m/
Explanation:
From Equilibrium of forces, The Tension in string is cancelled by the Weight (product of mass and acceleration due to gravity) of the body acting downwards.
The Net force = Mass * Acceleration.
Since Net Force = 20 Newton, Mass = 5kg, therefore;
20 = 5kg * acceleration. Dividing the RHS and LHS of the equation by 5, we have;
Acceleration =
which gives 4.
Note: RHS means Right Hand Side.
LHS means Left Hand Side.
Answer:
500 watts
Explanation:
Recall that the definition of power is the amount of energy delivered per unit of time.
In our case, the energy delivered is potential energy which we can estimate as the product of the weight of the object times the distance it is lifted above ground:
200 N x 10 m = 2000 Nm
then the power is the quotient of this potential energy divided the time it took to lift the object to that position:
Power = 2000 / 4 Nm/s = 500 Nm/s = 500 watts
Initially, the velocity vector is
. At the same height, the x-value of the vector will be the same, and the y-value will be opposite (assuming no air resistance). Assuming perfect reflection off the ground, the velocity vector is the same. After 0.2 seconds at 9.8 seconds, the y-value has decreased by
, so the velocity is
.
Converting back to direction and magnitude, we get
