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

Physics
1 answer:
shusha [124]3 years ago
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

A photograph is taken by letting light fall on a light-sensitive medium, which then records the image onto that medium. True or
Jet001 [13]

Answer;

The above statement is true.

-A photograph is taken by letting light fall on a light-sensitive medium, which then records the image onto that medium.

Explanation;

-A photograph is created when light is allowed to fall on a light-sensitive medium. The pattern of light creates an image that is recorded by the photographic device. How light or dark a photograph is depends on how much light was allowed to fall on the light-sensitive medium.

-A camera is a light-tight box that contains a light-sensitive material or device and a way of letting in a desired amount of light at particular times to create an image on the light-sensitive material.

Difference between work done against gravity and friction​
mario62 [17]
Mark Brainliest please


Friction is a nonconservative force. Therefore work done against friction cannot be stored as potential energy and later converted back to kinetic the way work against gravity can.

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump, gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down. ... Instead friction occurs when something like a machine or individual pulls a sliding object in the opposite direction of another object.


Friction and gravity exist in every aspect of a person’s life. For example, almost every movement you make, such as walking and running, involves friction. When you throw a ball up, gravity causes the ball to fall down. A person sliding a book across a table creates friction. Nevertheless, differences between gravity and friction also exist. Force affects gravity and friction in different ways.

A toy car accelerates from 3m/s to 5m/s in 5sec . what is the acceleration​
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

Because 3m/s is the initial velocity(u) and 5m/s is the final velocity(v) and time is 5 sec.

So, acceleration = v-u ÷ t

I'm confused
