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

a = \frac{T-W}{m} \\\\a = \frac{12 - 20}{2} \\\\a = -4 \ m/s^2 (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.

Formulating a Hypothesis: Part I Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. T
Westkost [7]

Answer : The kinetic energy depends directly on the mass of a particle.

Explanation :

We know that the kinetic energy of any particle is given by :

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Where,

m is the mass of an object.

v is the velocity with which it is moving

Kinetic energy is due to the motion of the particle.

So, the kinetic energy of a particle is directly proportional to its mass.

Hence, the conclusion of the question is if the mass of a particle is increases then its kinetic energy also increase.

A person is standing on a scale in an unmoving elevator. The elevator starts to move upwards at 1 m/s squared. Is the scale read
timama [110]

Answer: GREATER

Explanation:when elevator does not move it reads weight of the person . when elevator moves up let apparent weight be F . W acts downwards so net force is F-W

HENCE

F-W =ma

F= ma+W

AS a= 1 m/s^2

F = m (1)+W

HENCE GREATER
