Answer:

increase

Explanation:

According to the Newtons second law

F = m a

Where, m be the mass of the object, a be the acceleration of the body

Rider applies the same force so the acceleration depends on the mass.

As mass is less so acceleration is more as acceleration is inversely proportional to the amass of body.

Her acceleration would increase, if mass decreases than the acceleration would increase

A fire helicopter carries a 700-kg bucket of water at the end of a 20.0-m long cable. Flying back from a fire at a constant spee

rodikova [14]

Answer:

F = 50636.873 N

Explanation:

given,

bucket of water = 700-kg

length of cable = 20 m

Speed = 40 m/s

angle of the cable = 38.0°

let air resistance be = F

tension in rope be = T

T cos 38° = m×g..................(1)

$T sin 38^0= \dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F$ ..........(2)

equation (1)/(2)

$tan 38^0 =\dfrac{\dfrac{mv^2}{l} + F}{mg}$

$0.781=\dfrac{\dfrac{700\times 40^2}{20} + F}{700\times 9.8}$

F = 50636.873 N

Hence the force exerted on the bucket is equal to F = 50636.873 N

A 23.3-kg mass is attached to one end of a horizontal spring, with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The mass is pull

sdas [7]

In spring mass system we know that angular frequency is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

f = 8.38 Hz

$\omega = 2\pi(8.38)$

$\omega = 52.65 rad/s$

now we know that speed of SHM at its extreme position is given by

$v = A\omega$

here we know that

A = 17.5 cm

$v = 0.175 (52.65)$

$v = 9.21 m/s$

so maximum speed is 9.21 m/s

How much force is required to accelerate a 2 kg mass at 3 m/s2

swat32

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) Newton's second law of motion.

Force = (2 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 6 newtons.
