Answer:

c. Work is - on the way up and + on the way down

Explanation:

Work done is given as the product of the applied force and the displacement of the object.

Work done = F x d

Work done = mg x d

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

When the ball goes up, it moves against the force of gravity which tends to pull every object downwards. Since the ball moves against gravity, the work done is negative.

Also, when the ball goes down, it moves in the direction of gravity which acts downwards. Since the ball moves in the same direction as gravity, the work done is positive.

The correct option is "C. Work is negative (-) on the way up and positive (+) on the way down"

Gravity: The force due to gravity is F=mg where g=9.80 m/s². A. Find the force due to gravity on a 41.63-kg object. B. The force
olga_2 [115]
A. F=mg
= 41.63kg x 9.8m/s²
= 407.974
= 408N (3 significant figure)
B. F=mg
632N= y x 9.8m/s²
y= 632 ÷ 9.8
y = 64.48
y= 64.5kg (3 significant figure)

In an experiment performed in a space station, a force of 74 N causes an object to have an acceleration equal to 9 m/s2. What is
Stells [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.2 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{74}{9}  \\  = 8.222222...

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.2 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 2100 kg car starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 2.6 m/s2 for 4.0 s. Assume that the force acting to accelerate the c
Reika [66]
When the system is experiencing a uniformly accelerated motion, there are a set of equations to work from. In this case, work is energy which consist solely of kinetic energy. That is, 1/2*m*v2. First, let's find the final velocity.

a = (vf - v0)/t
2.6 = (vf - 0)/4
vf = 10.4 m/s

Then W = 1/2*(2100 kg)*(10.4 m/s)2
W = 113568 J = 113.57 kJ

1. Is the relationship between velocity and centripetal force a direct, linear relationship or is it a nonlinear square relation
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

non linear square relationship

Explanation:

formula for centripetal force is given as

a = mv^2/r

here a ic centripetal acceleration , m is mass of body moving in circle of radius r and v is velocity of body . If m ,and r are constant we have

a = constant × v^2

a α v^2

hence non linear square relationship
