Answer:
Equal to the weight of the object
Explanation:
There are two forces acting on the object hanging on the string:
- The tension in the string, T, acting upward
- The weight of the object, mg, acting downward
We can write Newton's second law as:
where a is the acceleration of the object.
Here we are told that the elevator is moving at constant speed: this means that the acceleration of the object is zero, therefore a = 0 and the equation becomes
therefore, the tension in the string is equal to the weight of the object.
Answer: The Porsche Wins. Arrives 19secs earlier before the Honda.
Explanation: The head start of 1secs corresponded with the difference in acceleration {3.5m/s² - 3m/s²}=0.5m/s²
Using the first equation of motion we obtain the velocity which correspond to this acceleration (0.5m/s²) and time of 1secs where initial velocity u = 0
V = u + at
V= 0 + at
V = 0.5 * 1 = 0.5m/s
Now let find the velocity of each of the car.
If V. a
0.5m/s 0.5m/s²
........m/s. 3.5m/s²
Velocity of porche Vp
= (3.5/0.5) * 0.5 = 3.5 m/s
Also if. V. a
0.5m/s. 0.5m/s²
.....m/s. 3 m/s²
Velocity of Honda Vh
= {3/0.5} * 0.5 = 3m/s
So let's find the time t taken by both cars to cover the distance of 400m
Recall,
Velocity = distance/time
Time t = distance/velocity
For Porche, t = 400/3.5 =114.29secs
For Honda, t = 400/3 = 133.33secs
Looking critically, we noticed that Porche car took shorter time.
The difference In time is
= (133.33 - 114.29)secs = 19.04secs
Answer:
On 2 October 1836, the Beagle entered the English port of Falmouth after a voyage which had lasted for four years, nine months and five days.
Friction and the applied force are not balanced. The 7 N push is countered by the frictional force of 3 N to push the box with a net force of 4 N.
