Hi there! :)

Find the acceleration by finding the change in velocity over time:

(vf - vi) / (time) = acceleration over the interval

*Remember, an object at rest has a velocity of 0 mph, and use the correct units for speed that would result in an acceleration involving meters / seconds.*

(27 - 0) / (2.2) = 27 / 2.2 ≈ 12.27 m/s²

1. • Here, force of gravity on the block = 20 N.

• Therefore, the normal force will also be the same, i.e., 20 N [According to Newton's Third Law, on every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction]

• The coefficient

$u_{k} = 0.4$

• Force of friction =

$u_{k} \times \: normal \: \: \: force \\ = 0.4 \times 20N \\ = 8N$

• Hence, the force of sliding friction between the block and the ground is 8 N.

• So, it is option c. 8 N

2. The answer is option d. continue in the same direction with no change in speed.

We know, force = mass × acceleration. When force is 0, then acceleration will also be 0 since mass cannot be 0. So, there will be no change in speed.

3. It is option b. force that is required to give a one kilogram object the acceleration of 1 m/s^2.

Newton is the SI unit of force. As mentioned earlier, force = mass × acceleration. The SI unit of mass and acceleration is Kg and m/s^2 respectively.

So, 1 N = 1 Kg × 1 m/s^2.

4. It is d. not zero.

Acceleration is the change in speed. So, if the force is zero, then acceleration will not occur.

5. Force = 2 N

Acceleration of the object A = 2 m/s^2.

Acceleration of the object B = 1 m/s^2.

Therefore, mass of the object A = 2 N ÷ 2 m/s^2 = 1 Kg

And, mass of the object B = 2 N ÷ 1 m/s^2 = 2 Kg

So, the mass of object B is greater than that of object A.

Hence, the answer is option c. Object B has more mass.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

A 1300 kg steel beam is supported by two ropes. (Figure

Dmitriy789 [7]

Relative to the positive horizontal axis, rope 1 makes an angle of 90 + 20 = 110 degrees, while rope 2 makes an angle of 90 - 30 = 60 degrees.

By Newton's second law,

the net horizontal force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0$

where $R_1,R_2$ are the magnitudes of the tensions in ropes 1 and 2, respectively;

the net vertical force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ) - mg = 0$

where $m=1300\,\rm kg$ and $g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

Eliminating $R_2$ , we have

$\sin(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ)\bigg) - \cos(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ)\bigg) = 0\sin(60^\circ) - mg\cos(60^\circ)$
