Answer: 56.87m/s^{2}

Explanation:

If we make an analysis of the net force F_{net} of the rock that was thrown upwards, we will have the following:

F_{net}=F_{up}-W  (1)

Where:

F_{up}=200N is the force with which the rock was thrown

W is the weight of the rock

Being the weight the relation between the mass m=3kg of the rock and the acceleration due gravity g=9.79m/s^{2} :

W=m.g=(3kg)(9.79m/s^{2}) (2)

W=29.37 N (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

F_{net}=200N-29.37 N  (4)

F_{net}=170.63 N  (5) This is the net Force on the rock

On the other hand, we know this force is equal to the multiplication of the mass with the acceleration, according to Newton's 2nd Law:

F_{net}=m.a  (6)

Finding the acceleration a:

a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}  (7)

a=\frac{170.63 N}{3kg} (8)

Finally:

a=56.87m/s^{2}

What motion makes the acceleration unchanged?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass. If the net force acting on an object doubles, its acceleration is doubled. If the mass is doubled, then acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and the mass are doubled, the acceleration will be unchanged.
