PART A:
1 answer:
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.

- c. The weight of an object on the moon will be the same as its weight on Earth. It is false because the weight of an on the moon will be 1/6 th times its weight on Earth.
- d. The weight of an object is its mass multiplied by the force of gravity. The statement is false because the formula of weight is mass × acceleration due to gravity, not force of gravity.
- e. The mass and weight of an object are the same thing. The statement is false because mass means a body of matter. While weight of an object is its mass multiplied by the force of gravity.
- f. The mass of an object is the force of gravity acting upon an object. It is false because it will be the weight of the object not mass.
- So, the answers are c, d, e and f.
