<u>Answer:</u>
Force = 20N
acceleration (a) = 1.5 m/s²
Mass of object (m) = ?
<u>From Newtons II law</u>
<em> F = m. a N</em>
m = F/a
m = 20/1.5
<em> m = 13.34 Kg</em>
<em>Mass of an object is 13.34 Kg</em>
Answer:
M au = Fs - M g au = upwards acceleration; Fs = scale reading
Fs = M (au + g) scalar quantities where g is positive downwards and au is positive upwards - Fs is the net force acting on the person
If the acceleration is zero Fs = M g and the scale reads the persons weight
If the elevator is decelerating then au is negative and the scale reading Fs = (g - au) M and the scale reading is less than the weight of the person
Answer:

the answer is A.
Explanation:
Using the laws of newton:
∑F = ma
where ∑F is the sumatory of forces acting in the system, m the mass and a the acelertion of the system.
Then, if the block is moving with constant velocity, its aceleration is equal to 0, so:
∑F = m(0)
∑F = 0
It means that:
F -
= 0
where F is the force applied and
is the friction force. Replacing the value of F, we get:
310N -
= 0
Finally, solving for
:
