Answer:
50 N
Explanation:
Let the force in the horizontal rope be F₁ and the force in the diagonal rope be F₂:
The total force in the horizontal and vertical directions must be zero, since the object is at rest and is not accelerating.
The horizontal component of the forces:
F₁ + F₂ = -40N + F₂ = 0
F₂ = 40N
The vertical component of the forces:
F₁ + F₂ - mg = 0 + F₂ - mg = 0
F₂ = mg
If I assume the gravitational constant g = 10 m/s²:
F₂ = (3 kg) * (10 m/s²) = 30N
Adding the horizontal and vertical components of the force F₂:
F₂ = √((40N)² + (30N)²) = 50N
Using the formula KE=1/2mv^2
a: The kinetic energy doubles.
b: The kinetic energy quadruples.
c: The kinetic energy is cut in half.
Hopefully it’s clear how the formula can show you this.
