Question

How do you do question 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

Look at explanation

Explanation:

a) Weight is another term for how much gravity is on an object and can be calculated by using the local gravity*mass so in order to find weight divide 1200 by g

m= 1200/9.8= 122.45kg

b) We know Fnet=ma and Fnet=Fapp+Fresistivity so Fapp+Fresistivity=ma

Plug in values

500+Fresistivity=122.45*2

solve for Fresistivty= 244.9-500=-255.1N (the reason it is negative is because it is in the opposite direction

c)Power= ΔE/Δt and we also know ΔE=ΔWork so Power= ΔWork/Δt. If a person pulls harder, they have a greater force and since mass is constant, acceleration is greater and since the amount of time needed to cover A to B is reduced since x-x0=v0t+1/2at²(v0=0, when you solve for t it will be lower because acceleration increases). If t decreases than Power increases by inverse proportionality. Work =Fd if the amount of Force increases by distance travelled remains constant than work also increases so power will also increase.
