David rowed a boat upstream for three miles and then returned to point he started from. The entire journey took four hours. The

speed of the stream is one mile per hour. Find David's speed in still water. (Hint: speed = distance ÷ time, upstream speed = speed of the boat – speed of the stream, and downstream speed = speed of the boat + speed of the stream)
David's speed in still water is ____ miles per hour.

Upstream speed = S - 1
Downstream speed = S + 1

Average speed = total distance / total time

Average speed = (S - 1) + (S + 1) / 2
= S

S = 6 miles / 4 hours
S = 1.5 miles per hour

If an exit sign is hanging from the ceiling by three chains each of which has a tension of 15N what is the weight of the sign
kvasek [131]
The weight is 45 N, because the three chains hold the sign, and each contributes 15 N.

Notice that the mass would be the weight/acceleration of gravity, m = 45/9.8 kg. But they ask the weight (force, so Newtons)

Two identical objects, A and B, are sitting on a table. If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10
sveta [45]

If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10 N, then object B will accelerate more quickly than object A provided the mass of both objects are same.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force applied on an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object. In order to state this law in terms of acceleration, it is stated that acceleration exhibited by any object is directly proportional to the net force applied on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object as shown below:

                      \text {Acceleration of the object } \propto \frac{\text {Net force on the object}}{\text {Mass of the object}}

So if two objects A and B are identical which means they have same mass, then the acceleration attained by the object will be directly proportionate to the net forces exerted on the objects only.

Thus if the force applied is more for one object, then the object will be exhibiting more acceleration compared to the other one. So as object B is experiencing a net force of 10 N which is greater than the net force experiences by object A, then the object B will be accelerating more quickly compared to the object A's acceleration.
