Two rubber bands pulling on an object cause it to accelerate at 1.2 m/s^2.. a. What will be the object's acceleration if it is p

ulled by four rubber bands?. b. What will be the acceleration of two of these objects glued together if they are pulled be two rubber bands?

<span>Assume the rubber bands have no mass and are identical so they supply the same force to the object. Newton's Second Law of motion says F=ma where F is the net force acting on the object.

</span>a. What will be the object's acceleration if it is pulled by four rubberbands?

F = ma
a = F / m
*when force is doubled
a = 2F / m
acceleration will be doubled.

b. What will be the acceleration of two of these objects glued together if they are pulled be two rubber bands?


F = ma
a = F / m
*when force is doubled
a = F / 2m
<span>acceleration will be halved.</span>

Answer:

a. The acceleration will be doubled.

b. The acceleration will be halved.

Explanation:

a. The acceleration of an object is a property of mass and force applied to it. Basically, this can be expressed by Newton's second law of motion which is like this:

F =ma

where F = force of the object

           m = mass of the object

           a = acceleration of the object.

given that the mass is constant, the acceleration will increase with an increase in the force.

b. When two objects are used, the acceleration will decrease. This is shown below:

Let the mass be doubled:

F = 2ma

Therefore a = F/2m

as you can see the force is already halved.

Thus more object decrease the acceleration.

A ball is suspended by a lightweight string, as shown in the figure above.
Irina18 [472]

<u>Answer </u>

A. 1 and 2

<u>Explanation </u>

At point 1 we have the highest potential energy and the kinetic energy is zero.

At 2 the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum.

The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So, the change in P.E = Change in K.E.

P.E = height × gravity × mass. The height referred here is the perpendicular height. Gravity and mass are constant in this case.

From the diagram it can be seen clearly that the vertical height from 2 to 1 is much greater than from 4 to 3.

This shows that the change in P.E is greater between 1 and 2 and so is kinetic energy.

A crane lifts a 1,750 kg mass using a steel cable whose mass per unit length is 0.88 kg/m. What is the speed of transverse waves
Sauron [17]

Answer:

139.6m/s

Explanation:

Calculate the tension first, T=m*g

mass(m): 1750kg, gravity(g): 9.8m/s^2

T= 1750*9.8

 =17150N

Then calculate the wave speed using the equation v = √ (T/μ)

v= √(17150N)/(0.88kg/m)

 =139.6m/s

What is equilibrium????
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Explanation:

An equilibrium is a state in which opposing forces or influences are banned.

An example of equilibrium is in economics when supply and demand are equal. An example of equilibrium is when you are calm and steady. An example of equilibrium is when hot air and cold air are entering the room at the same time so that the overall temperature of the room does not change at all.

If the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis if the speed is steadily increasing could the speef line ever become perfec
Phantasy [73]

A graph of real speed can have a section that's as steep as you want,
but it can never be a perfectly vertical section.

Any vertical line on a graph, even it it's only a tiny tiny section, means
that at that moment in time, the speed had many different values.

It also means that the speed took no time to change from one value to
another, and THAT would mean infinite acceleration.

If a ball is tossed straight up into the air, at what position is its potential energy the greatest?
krok68 [10]
A. when it reaches the top of its flight

potential energy increases as the height of the object does, and the highest point of a ball's flight is when it reaches the top.
