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

Describe the kinetic molecular theory

tatuchka [14]

The kinetic theory of gases is a simple, historically significant model of the thermodynamic behavior of gases, with which many principal concepts of thermodynamics were established. The model describes a gas as a large number of identical submicroscopic particles, all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion

A weightlifter can lift 220lbs. (assume 1kg weighs 2.2lbs) If he lifts the weight 2m above the floor, how much work did he do?

Anton [14]

Convert 220 lb to kg.

220/2.2 = 100kg.

W = Fd (In this case, F is the weight)
W = (100)(2)
W = 200J

P = W/t
P = (200)/(1.2)
P = 166.67W

6) Set the battery to a value between 0.0 V and 1.5 V. Now drag the voltage meter toward the capacitor and move the red and blac

KIM [24]

Answer:

A) 1.5 v

B) Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Explanation:

Battery value set between 0.0 V and 1.5 V

a) The potential difference between the plates

Δ V = V1( potential at top plate) - V2( potential at lower plate )

potential at top plate = 1.5 V

potential at lower plate = 0.0 V

hence potential difference = 1.5 V

b ) The top plate is always connected to the positive terminal of the DC source ( which is at a higher potential )while the bottom plate is connected to the negative terminal of the DC source ( which is at a lower potential )

hence the Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate
