Answer:
parabolic path
Explanation:
As the cart reaches the end of the table with a horizontally directed velocity (only horizontal component), the cart will follow a parabolic path given by the combined action of:
(1) kinematic equation for motion under constant velocity in the horizontal direction (linear expression in terms of time), and
(2) kinematic equation for motion under constant acceleration (that of gravity) in the vertical direction (quadratic expression in terms of time)
Answer:
0.5 m/s²
Explanation:
Applying,
F = ma............... Equation 1
Where F = Force applied to the chair, m = mass of the student, a = acceleration of the chair
make a the subject of the equation
a = F/m............ Equation 2
From the question,
Given: F = 35 N, m = 70 kg
Substitute these values into equation 2
a = 35/70
a = 0.5 m/s²
Hence the new acceleration of the chair is 0.5 m/s²
Answer:
c. 3/2 mg
Explanation:
Given that the acceleration of an elevator is 1/2 g upward.
The reading on the scale of the elevator is the net external force acting on the elevator.
Let the force F acting on the elevator as shown,
By using Newton's 2nd law, 
where, 
is the net force acting on the elevator.
m is the mass of the elevator,
a is the acceleration of the elevator, as given a=1/2 g upward.
So, 
So, the reading on the scale in the elevator is 
.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
