Using Newton's law that  F = ma.

The force here is the net force.  The forces acting in opposite direction are the weight and the air resistance. The weight of course is acting downwards and the air  resistance is pushing upwards.

Therefore:

W -  AR  = ma                    W = Weight = mg,  AR = Air Resistance = 150.
                                           g = 10 m/s2
mg  - AR  = ma

60(10) - 150 = 60a
600  -  150   = 60a
450 = 60a
60a = 450
a = 450/60
a = 7.5 m/s2

Cheers.

A pulley lifts a 72-N load with a force of 24-N. The input distance is 2m and the output distance is 0.5m. What is the efficienc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J  / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .

Describe a situation in which an object's speed is constant but its velocity is changing.
Olegator [25]
1) If the object changes directions with the same speed, it will be changing its velocity, because velocity is a vector, which depends on both magnitude and direction. Speed is just magnitude regardless of direction.

2) Rotational motion.

An object moves along the x-axis according to the equation x = 3.00t2 – 2.00t + 3.00,
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

x = 3.00t^{2} – 2.00t + 3.00,

Distance of object at 2 second,

x (t=2) = 3(4) - 2(2) +3

x (t=2) = 12-4 +3

x (t=2) = 11 m

Distance of object at 3 second,

x (t=3) = 3(9) - 2(3) +3

x (t=2) = 27 - 6 + 3

x (t=2) = 24 m

a) the average speed between t = 2.00 s and t = 3.00 s,

Average speed = \frac{Total distance}{ Total time}

Average speed = \frac{x (t=2) + x (t=3)}{3}

Average speed = \frac{24+11}{3}

Average speed = \frac{35}{3}

Average speed = 11.66 \frac{m}{s}

b) the instantaneous speed at t = 2.00 s and t = 3.00 s,

Instantaneous speed = \frac{dx}{dt}

Instantaneous speed(v) = 6t - 2\left \{ {{t=2} \atop {t=3}} \right.

Instantaneous speed,v(t=2 to t=3) = 18-2-12+2

Instantaneous speed, v = 6 \frac{m}{s}

c) the average acceleration between t = 2.00 s and t = 3.00 s

average acceleration = \frac{average velocity}{time}

average acceleration =  \frac{11.66}{3-2}

average acceleration = 11.66 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

d) the instantaneous acceleration at t = 2.00 s and t = 3.00 s

instantaneous acceleration = \frac{dv}{dt}

instantaneous acceleration =6

instantaneous acceleration = 6 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

e) for x =0

0 = 3.00t^{2} – 2.00t + 3.00

a = 3, b=-2, c=3

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}

t= \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 36} }{6}

t= \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{-32} }{6}

general solution of this equation gives imaginary value. Hence, the given object is not at rest.

What characteristics are shared by both heating and cooling curves? choose 4
Luda [366]

The characteristics shared by both heating and cooling curves is that phases changes when the temperature stays the same.

<h3>What is heating and cooling?</h3>

Heating is the process by which the temperature of a place or substances or object is increased.

Cooling Is the process of lowering the temperature of a substance or object by using conditioners or by freezing .

Therefore, The characteristics shared by both heating and cooling curves is that phases changes when the temperature stays the same.
