They are experiencing the pull of leaving the atmosphere
Hi there!
II. Linear momentum of the system is zero.
This is an example of a RECOIL collision. With the Law of Conservation of Momentum, momentum remains constant before and after the collision.
Thus, the total momentum would also be equivalent to zero after the collision.
Answer: magnitude of applied force is FA = mg + F
Where F is the resultant force downward that the rope moves with
Explanation:
Force downwards F is,
F = FA - T
T is the upwards tension force on the rope
FA is the actual applied force in pulling the rope down.
Therefore, T = FA - F .....equ. (1)
For the box to move up with force ma ( it's mass times its acceleration upwards) upwards tension on the roap must exceed its own weight mg ( it's mass times acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2)
Therefore, ma = T - mg
T = ma + mg ..... equ. (2)
Equating equ. 1 and 2
T = FA - F = ma + mg
Therefore FA = ma + mg + F
But at constant velocity a = 0
Magnitude of applied force becomes
FA = mg + F
