What are you calculating when forces are added together

andrezito [222]

1. Weight is the gravitational pull with which the earth attracts the body towards the center of the earth. The S.I unit is Newton (N)

2. The weight of an object is related to its mass with the below equation.

W = mg

Where W = weight, m = mass and g = acceleration due to gravity

3. The mass m = 50 kg and g = 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$

Substitute the parameters in the equation above.

W = 50 x 9.8

W = 490 N

4. An object is accelerating when it speeds up. If the object slows down, it means it is decelerating. The correct answer is option A

5. Newton's second law of motion is:

F = ma

Where F = force applied, m = mass and a = acceleration

Therefore, Newton's second law of motion relates an object's acceleration to its net force acting on it. The correct answer is option C

6. According to Newton's second law of motion which relates an object's acceleration to its mass, doubling the net force acting on an object a doubles its acceleration. Because mass is always constant.

7. Since the weight of an object is related to its mass with the equation.

W = mg, If the mass of an object doubles, its weight will also doubles. Option A is the correct answer.

8. If you know the mass of an object, you can calculate its weight with the formula F = mX when X = 9.8m/ $s^{2}$

9. Force is expressed in unit as Newton (N)

10. The parameters given are :

mass m = 20kg

Force F = 40N

To calculate acceleration, use the formula F = ma

Substitute all the parameters into the equation.

40 = 20a

a = 40/20

a = 2m/ $s^{2}$

The correct option is D

Name and describe the two layers inside Earth that are undergoing convection and indicate one major consequence of each.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Mantle and core

Explanation:

The Mantle and Core are the two components within Earth experiencing convection. In several ways the mantle is significant. The one outcome of convective current is the creation of the fresh oceanic lithosphere around OCEANIC RIDGES, formed by mantle upwelling. Core is indeed the planet's innermost layer.

A guy wire 1034 feet long is attached to the top of a tower. When pulled taut, it touches level ground 699 feet from the base of

kolezko [41]

Answer:

80.386 degrees

Explanation:

We use the cosine equation here (which is the adjacent side of the unknown angle divided by the hypotenuse

The adjacent side = 699ft

The hypotenuse = 1034ft

using cos∅ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

where ∅ is the unknown angle

cos ∅ = 699/1034 = 0.167

∅ = arccos 0.167 = 80.368°

As easy as one can imagine

An elaborate pulley consists of four identical balls at the ends of spokes extending out from a rotating drum. A box is connecte

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

its speed will be less than V

Explanation:

When the ball falls a distance d, its final kinetic energy plus rotational kinetic energy of the drum equals its initial potential energy.

K = U

With its speed V at the end of d, we have

1/2mV² + 1/2Iω² = mgd where I = rotational inertia of drum and balls, ω = angular speed of drum and balls and m = mass of box

1/2mV² + 1/2Iω² = mgd

1/2mV² = mgd - 1/2Iω²

V² = [2(mgd - 1/2Iω²)/m]

V = √[2(mgd - 1/2Iω²)/m]

When the four balls are moved inward closer to the drum, their rotational inertia increases and also its angular speed which thus causes an increase in rotational kinetic energy. But, since the box still falls the same distance of d, its final kinetic energy plus rotational kinetic energy of the drum plus balls still equals its initial potential energy

K = U

I' = new rotational inertia of drum and balls, ω' = new angular speed of drum and balls

With its new speed is now V' at the end of d,

1/2mV'² + 1/2I'ω'² = mgd

1/2mV'² = mgd - 1/2I'ω'²

V² = [2(mgd - 1/2I'ω'²)/m]

V' = √[2(mgd - 1/2I'ω'²)/m]

Since I' and ω' increase, the rotational kinetic energy of the drum and balls (1/2I'ω'²) increases. Thus, the difference (mgd - 1/2I'ω'²) < (mgd - 1/2Iω²) which implies that the kinetic energy of the box decreases. Hence, since its kinetic energy decreases, its speed V' also decreases.

So, V' < V

So, its speed will be less than V.
