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 sky diver, with parachute unopened, falls 625 m in 15.0 s. Then she opens her parachute and falls another 362 m in 139 s. What
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the motion and total time taken in that motion

here we know that initially the sky diver drops without opening parachute by total displacement 625 m

then she open her parachute and drop another 362 m

so first it took time t = 15 s to drop without open parachute

then it took t = 139 s to drop next displacement

so here total displacement is given as

d = 625 m + 362 m

total time is given as

t = 15 s + 139 s

so average velocity is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{625 + 362}{15 + 139}

v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s

Why should it take significantly more energy to move a beam of alpha particles than a beam of beta minus (β–) particles?
a_sh-v [17]
An 'alpha particle' is the same thing as the nucleus of a helium atom ... 
a little bundle made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

A 'beta' particle is an electron.

The mass of an alpha particle is more than 7,000 times the mass of 
an electron, so it certainly takes more energy to get it moving.

A car moving at a speed of 36 km/h reaches the foot of a smooth
boyakko [2]

Answer:

d = 10.2 m

Explanation:

When the car travels up the inclined plane, its kinetic energy will be used to do the work in climbing up. So according to the law of conservation of energy, we can write that:

Kinetic\ Energy\ of\ the \ Car = Work\ Done\ while\ moving\ up\ the\ plane\\\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = Fd

where,

m = mass of car

v = speed of car at the start of plane = (36 km/h)(1000 m/1 km)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 10 m/s

F = force on the car in direction of inclination = W Sin θ

W = weight of car = mg

θ = Angle of inclinition = 30°

d = distance covered up the ramp = ?

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = mgdSin\theta\\\frac{1}{2}v^{2} = gdSin\theta\\\frac{1}{2}(10\ m/s)^{2} = d(9.81\ m/s^{2}) Sin\ 30^{0}

<u>d = 10.2 m</u>
