How much tension must a rope withstand if used to accelerate a 960-kg car from rest horizontally along a frictionless surface to
Svetach [21]
Use a=(dv/dt)         (change in velocity/ change in time)=acceleration
(1.2/5)=acceleration

F=ma (Newton's second law, Force= Mass x Acceleration

=960 x 0.24     F=230.4N If  T<230.4N then the tow rope will hold

Which factors affect gravitational potential force but not elastic potential energy
Inga [223]

Answer:

The mass of the object involved and the value of the gravitational acceleration

Explanation:

- Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object in a gravitational field due to its position with respect to the ground:

U=mgh

where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the heigth of the object with respect to the ground.

- Elastic potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an elastic object and it is given as:

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant of the elastic object, while x is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to the equilibrium position.

As we can see from the equations, both types of energy depends on the relative position of the object/end of the spring with respect to a certain reference position (h in the first formula, x in the second formula), but gravitational potential energy also depends on m (the mass) and g (the gravitational acceleration) while the elastic energy does not.

Calculate the acceleration of a car if it's velocity increases from 15 m/s to 75m/s in 5 seconds. ​
Andreas93 [3]
  • initial velocity=u=15m/s
  • Final velocity=v=75m/s
  • Time=t=5s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{75-15}{5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{60}{5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=12m/s^2
