Answer:

4m/s/s

Explanation:

a=f/m

m=5kg

f=20N

20/5=4

(N=kg-m/s/s)

A :-) F = ma
a = F by m
Given - F = 20 N
m = 5 kg
Solution -
a = F by m
a = 20 by 5
( cut 5 and 20 because 5 x 4 = 20 )
a = 4 m/s^2

.:. The acceleration is 4m/s^2.

A 2.00 kg cat is in a 97.00 kg elevator. What force on the elevator cable would be needed to lower the cat/elevator pair with an
umka21 [38]

The magnitude of force on the elevator cable that would be needed to lower the cat/elevator pair is 198 Newton.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass of cat = 2 kg
  • Mass of elevator = 97 kg
  • Acceleration = 2 m/s^2

To determine the magnitude of force on the elevator cable that would be needed to lower the cat/elevator pair, we would apply Newton's Second Law of Motion:

First of all, we would calculate the total mass of the cat/elevator pair.

Total \;mass=2 + 97

Total mass = 99 kilograms

Mathematically, Newton's Second Law of Motion is given by this formula;

Force = mass \times acceleration

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Force = 99 \times 2

Net force = 198 Newton

Consider a solid metal sphere (S) a few centimeters in diameter and a feather (F). For each quantity in the list that follows, i
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

A) Gravitational Force is greater in S.

B) Time taken to fall a given distance in air will be greater for F.

C) Both will take same time to fall in a vacuum.

D) Total force is greater in S.

Explanation:

(a) In this case, the gravitational force of S will be greater, because Newton's Second Law states that - F = ma, or weight =mg. g is constant. And mass of the solid metal is heavier.

(b) In this case, the time it will take for F to fall from a given distance in air will be greater than that of S, since the air resistance is not negligible (as in the case of S).

(c) In this, It will take same time for S and F because in a vacuum, there are no air particles, so there is no air resistance and gravity is the only force acting and so objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.

(d) The total force will be greater in S than F because Force=ma and S is of heavier mass than F.
