The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s per second.
Answer:
The horizontally applied force = 2360 N
Explanation:
<em>Force:</em> Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration. the S.I unit of force is Newton (N)
Fh = Fr + ma......... Equation 1
Where Fh = horizontally applied force, Fr = friction force, m = mass of the crate, a = acceleration of the crate.
<em>Given: m = 400 kg, a = 1 m/s²</em>
Fr = 1/2 W, W = mg ⇒W = 400×9.8 = 3920 N
∴Fr = 1/2(3920), Fr = 1960 N
Substituting these values into equation 1
Fh = 1960 + 400×1
Fh = 1960 + 400
Fh = 2360 N
Therefore the horizontally applied force = 2360 N
When a pendulum is at the midpoint of its oscillation, hanging straight down ...
-- that's the fastest it's going to swing, so its kinetic energy is maximum;
and
-- that's the lowest it's going to get, so its potential energy is minimum.
'c' is your choice.
