For this case we have that by definition:

$F = ma$

Where,

m: mass of the object
a: acceleration of the object
F: summation of forces

We have then:

$F = 10 + 5\\F = 15 N$

Then, by clearing the acceleration we have:

$a = \frac {F} {m}$

Substituting values we have:

$a = \frac {15} {5}\\a = 3 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}$

Answer:

The acceleration of the box is equal to:

$a = 3 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}$

A plane drops a hamper of medical supplies from a height of 5000 m during a practice run over the ocean. The plane’s horizontal

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

346.70015 m/s

Explanation:

In the x axis speed is

$v_x=149\ m/s$

In the y axis

$v_y=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v_y=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5000}$

The resultant velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{149^2+2\times 9.8\times 5000}\\\Rightarrow v=346.70015\ m/s$

The magnitude of the overall velocity of the hamper at the instant it strikes the surface of the ocean is 346.70015 m/s

A position vector with magnitude 10 m points to the right and up. its x-component is 6.0 m. part a what is the value of its y-co

lidiya [134]

The position vector can be transcribed as:

A = 6 i + y j

i points in the x-direction and j points in the y-direction.

The magnitude of the vector is its dot product with itself:

|A|2 = A·A

102 = (6 i + y j)•(6 i+ y j) Note that i•j = 0, and i•i = j•j = 1

100 = 36 + y2

64 = y2

get the square root of 64 = 8

The vertical component of the vector is 8 cm.

You are in Paris, 60 m up in the Eiffel Tower. If you throw a euro downward at a velocity of 2.0 m/s, how long would it take the

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

t = 3.29 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of the Eiffel tower is 60 m

Initial speed of a euro, u = 2 m/s

It will move under the action of gravity in the downward direction. Firstly, we can find the final velocity as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2ad} \\\\v=\sqrt{(2)^2+2\times 9.81\times 60} \\\\v=34.36\ m/s$

Let t is the time taken by the euro to hit the ground. It can be calculated as :

$v=u+at\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{34.36-2}{9.81}\\\\t=3.29\ s$

Hence, it will take 3.29 seconds to hit the ground.
