Answer:

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and displacement. Work is positive if force and displacement moves in the same direction. Work is negative if force and displacement moves in opposite direction. Take for example, a load is to move from point A to point B in the forward direction. if you apply force on the load from point A to B work done on the load is positive. If it happens that the force you apply is to the opposite direction, the work done will be negative.

The kinetic energy of a rocket is increased by a factor of eight after its engines are fired, whereas its total mass is reduced

Rudik [331]

The momentum increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by rewriting the momentum of the rocket in terms of the kinetic energy and the mass.

The kinetic energy of the rocket is:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (1)

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

The momentum of the rocket is

$p=mv$ (2)

From eq.(1) we get

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}$

and substituting into (2),

$p=\sqrt{2mK}$

Now in this problem we have:

- The kinetic energy of the rocket is increased by a factor 8:

$K' = 8K$

- The mass is reduced by half:

$m'=\frac{m}{2}$

Substituting, we find the new momentum:

$p'=\sqrt{2(\frac{m}{2}(8K)}=\sqrt{4(2mK)}=2\sqrt{2mK}=2p$

So, the momentum increases by a factor of 2.

Gravitational forces is ------ force

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Gravitational force is <u>noncontact</u> force

Explanation:

Contact force occurs due to the contact between two different objects. Non-contact force occurs due to either attraction or repulsion between two objects such that there is no contact between these objects. There is no field linked with the contact force. ... Gravitational force is an example of a non-contact force.

An object, when pushed with a net force F, has an acceleration of 4 m/s . Now twice the force is applied to an object that has f

hjlf

Answer:

B. 2 m/s

B. Acceleration = 4.05 m/s² and Tension = 297.5 N.

Explanation:

A force is applied on a mass m whose acceleration is 4 m/s

Force = mass × acceleration

a = F/m = 4 m/s

4 m/s = F/m

F = 4 m/s (m)

If Force of 2F is applied on a mass of 4m ; it acceleration is as follows:

2F/4 m = F/ 2m

4m/s (m) / 2m = 2 m/s

a = 2 m/s

Given that

mass $m_1$ = 30 kg

mass $m_2$ = 50 kg

$\mu$ = 0.1

From the question; we can arrive at two cases;

That :

$m_{2} a _ \ {net} }= m_2g - T$ ----- equation (1)

$m_{1} a _ \ {net} }= T - mg sin \theta - F$ ---- equation (2)

50 a = 50 g - T

30 a = T - 30 g sin 30 - 4 × 30 g cos 30

By summation

80 a = $[ 50 - 30 * \frac{1}{2} - 0.1 *30* \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]$ g

80 a = 32. 4 × 10 m/s ² (using g as 10m/s²)

80 a = 324 m/s ²

a = 324/80

a = 4.05 m/s²

From equation , replace a with 4.05

50 × 4.05 = 50 × 10 - T

T = 500 -202.5

T =297.5 N
