If a 20 kg box is accelerating upward at 8 m/s^2 , what is the magnitude of the upward force

Physics
1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

356 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion describes the relationship between an object's mass and the amount of force needed to accelerate it.  

here there is a weight acting downwards on the object , yet it is accelerating  upwards shows that there is a net force upwards

Applying Newtons second law of motion upwards ,

Force  = mass *acceleration

Upward force - m*g = m *a

F_up= 20 *8 + 20 * 9.8

         = 356 N

Upward force= 160 N

Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if
Step2247 [10]

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.

2. Do you think the density of the ice affected the melting rate of the ice, or do you think adding the objects affected the mel
Setler [38]

The density of ice does not affect its melting rate. Adding objects will affect the melting rate.

  • A physical process called melting or fusing causes a substance to change its phase from a solid to a liquid. This happens when the solid's internal energy rises, usually as a result of heat or pressure being applied, which raises the substance's temperature to the melting point.
  • The term "density" refers to an extensive quality, which means that it is independent of the substance's concentration. Every substance in the world demonstrates its distinctive density. Since it does not fluctuate, it would not affect the rate of melting. The addition of the objects could speed up the process, though, as each one generates heat that could act as the mediating force for the melting process.

Name three types of stress that a force can cause inside an object?
Anton [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stress is the force applied to a rock and may cause deformation. The three main types of stress are typical of the three types of plate boundaries: compression at convergent boundaries, tension at divergent boundaries, and shear at transform boundaries.
