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

Physics

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 catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.
bezimeni [28]

solution:

y = v0t + ½at²

1150 = 79t + ½3.9t²

0 = 3.9t² + 158t - 2300

from quadratic equations and eliminating the negative answer

t = (-158 + v158² -4(3.9)(-2300)) / 2(3.9)

t = 11.37 s to engine cut-off

the velocity at that time is

v = v0 + at

v = 79 + 3.9(11.37)

v = 123.3 m/s

it rises for an additional time

v = gt

t = v/g

t = 123.3 / 9.8

t = 12.59 s

gaining more altitude

y = ½vt

y = 123.3(12.59) /2

y = 776 m

for a peak height of

y = 776 + 1150

A child is sledding. He starts at the top of the hill with a velocity of zero, and 3 seconds later he is speeding down the hill
Flauer [41]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change) =

                                             (12 m/s  -  0)   /   (3 sec)  =

                                               12/3  =  <em>4 m/s²</em>

What's a challenge question ?  Have we all passed the event horizon
and been spaghettified without knowing it ?
