Part A.

If there is a constant speed, therefore the net force is zero.

Forces acting are the:

1. Weight

2. Upward force exerted by the rope which is opposite in direction but the magnitude is to the force which is acting downwards exerted on the rope.

∑Force = pulling force - weight = 0

Weight = mg

Hence,

F (pulling force) = mg

Substituting the values,

F (pulling force) = 65 × 9.81

F (pulling force) = 637.65 Newton

____________________________________________________________

Part B.

F = ma

10% increase in the force = 1.10 ₓ 637.65

10% increase in the force = 701.415

Therefore,

701.415 = 65 ₓ a

a = 701.45/65

a = 10.8 m/s²

Consider the free body diagrams as shown in the file attached.

Let the acc of system is a. 
For the washer T+N-m1g=m1a ............................(1)
For the bucket T-N-m2g=m2a ............................(2)

(A)
a=0 Eqns (1) and (2) become T+N-m1g=0 T-N-m2g=0 Adding and rearranging, T=(m1+m2)/2g T=325N 
(B)
 We are specified the value of T here as 325+32.5=357.5N eqns (1)and (2) become 357.5+N-m1g=m1a 357.5-N-m2g=m2a Adding, 715-(m1+m2)g=(m1+m2)a

Solve for 'a'

A scientist testing to see how a cat “always” lands on their feet drops a cat upside down out of a third story window at a heigh

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

Explanation:

Initial height of cat from ground = 20 meter.

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this the velocity of cat in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 $m/s^2$ , we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

Substituting

$20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds$

So, cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

The electric force between two charges A. increases with distance between the charges B. increases if either one of charges gets

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Option (A) , (b) and (d) are correct option

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law electric force between two charges is given by

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

From the relation we can say that force is directly proportional to magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to distance between them '

So if we increase the distance then force will decrease

Increase if any of the charge get larger

If force is attractive then both the charge will be of different sign and is force is repulsive then both the charges of same sign

From above conclusion we can say that (a), (b) and (d) are correct option

A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Suppose at f

Airida [17]

Answer:

c. The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor.

Explanation:

Since all the components are connected in series, when the switch is at first open, current will not flow round the circuit. As current needs to flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery.

But the moment the switch is closed, at the initial time t = 0, the current flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery. It then begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.
