A 2 kg object with a weight of 20 N is being pulled up by a rope with a tension of 12N what is the acceleration of the object
1 answer:
Answer:
The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the object, m = 2 kg
weigh of the object, W = 20 N
tension on the rope, T = 12 N
The acceleration of the object is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;
T = F + W
T = ma + W
ma = T - W
(the negative sign indicates deceleration of the object)
The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

Answer:
1keff=1k1+1k2
see further explanation
Explanation:for clarification
Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination. Also, each spring must exert the same force. Do you see why?
From Hooke's law , we know that the force exerted on an elastic object is directly proportional to the extension provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.
Now the spring is in series combination
Fe
F=ke
k=f/e.........*
where k is the force constant or the constant of proportionality
k=f/e
............................1
also for effective force constant
divide all through by extension
1) Total force is
Ft=F1+F2
Ft=k1e1+k2e2
F = k(e1+e2) 2)
Since force on the 2 springs is the same, so
k1e1=k2e2
e1=F/k1 and e2=F/k2,
and e1+e2=F/keq
Substituting e1 and e2, you get
1/keq=1/k1+1/k2
Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination.
Hope this answer helps, cause Idk, I might be wrong, but I still, I used the correct formulas, so I might be correct
