Vi = vf + ( a.t)
0 m/s (rest) = 80 m/s + (a.20s.-1)
a.20.-1= -80, we check if this is true; = 0 m/s= 80 + -80 = 0 ITS TRUE.
so a.20.-1= -80, a= 80/20 , Answers a= 4 m/s
Equation 1 :
m1 : m1a =T
Equation 2:m2 : m2a= F - T
Adding 1 and 2a=0.073
Placing in equation 1
we get T = 218.18N
Answer: D) It should be handled in a fume hood, away from open flames.
F=ma
m=total mass = 2300kg+2500kg=4800
F=18000N
a=?
a=F/m
a=18000/4800
a=3.8m/s^2
Final answer
False, as an object falls its potential energy turns into kinetic energy thus decreasing the potential energy.
