Answer:

a

Explanation:

Its mass times m/s there is no m/s so 1500x0 = 0

Answer:

Part a)

$a = 3.68 m/s^2$

Part b)

$a = 11.8 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

For force conditions of two blocks we will have

$m_1g - T = m_1 a$

$T - m_2g = m_2 a$

now from above equations we have

$(m_1 - m_2) g = (m_1 + m_2) a$

$a = \frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2} g$

now we know that

$m_1 = \frac{908}{9.8} = 92.65 kg$

$m_2 = \frac{412}{9.8} = 42 kg$

now from above equation we have

$a = \frac{92.65 - 42}{92.65 + 42}(9.8)$

$a = 3.68 m/s^2$

Part b)

When heavier block is removed and F = 908 N is applied at the end of the string then we have

$F - mg = ma$

$908 - 412 = 42 a$

$a = 11.8 m/s^2$

A 10 kg brick and a 1 kg book are dropped in a vacuum. The force of gravity on the 10 kg brick is what?

Nadya [2.5K]

<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>
