Answer:

m_2 = 23 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the tension in two strings are

T_2 = 111 N

T_4 = 222 N

now we have

F_{net} = ma

so we can say

(m_1 + m_2)a = T_2

(12 + m_2)a = 111

also we have

(m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4) a = T_4

(12 + m_2 + 15 + 20) a = 222

now divide two equations

\frac{222}{111} = \frac{47 + m_2}{12 + m_2}

2m_2 + 24 = 47 + m_2

m_2 = 23 kg

As a rocket travels upward from earth, air resistance decreases along with the force of gravity. The rocket's mass also decrease
ddd [48]

Answer:

The decrease of these factors increases the acceleration.

Explanation:

Hi, the decrease of these factors increases the acceleration.

Air resistance is a force opposing the acceleration. So if it decreases, the acceleration increases, because the opposite forces decreases.

The same is applied to the force of gravity, since the rocket travels upward; gravity is also an opposite force.

Finally, if the mass decreases, it means that the rocket becomes lighter and the force acting on the smaller mass causes an increase in the acceleration.
