Answer:

Option (c) Acceleration is 1/2x the original acceleration

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question, we shall determine the acceleration of the box in each case.

Case 1:

Mass (m) = m

Force (F) = 20 N

Acceleration 1 (a₁) =?

F = ma₁

20 = m × a₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = 20 / m

Case 2:

Mass (m) = 2m

Force (F) = 20 N

Acceleration 2 (a₂) =?

F = ma₂

20 = 2m × a₂

Divide both side by 2m

a₂ = 20 / 2m

a₂ = 10 / m

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the box after the mass was doubled. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Acceleration 1 (a₁) = 20 / m

Acceleration 2 (a₂) = 10 / m

a₂ : a₁ = 10 / m : 20 / m

a₂ / a₁ = 10 / m ÷ 20 / m

a₂ / a₁ = (10 / m) × (m / 20)

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

Thus, the acceleration of the box after the mass was doubled is ½ times the original acceleration.

A rocket achieves a lift-off velocity of 500.0 m/s from rest in 30.0 seconds. Calculate the average acceleration of the rocket.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The average acceleration is 16.6 m/s² ⇒ 1st answer

Explanation:

A rocket achieves a lift-off velocity of 500.0 m/s from rest in

30.0 seconds

The given is:

→ The initial velocity = 0

→ The final velocity = 500 meters per seconds

→ The time is 30 seconds

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of the rocket

→ a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where a is the acceleration, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity

and t is the time

→ u = 0 , v = 500 m/s , t = 30 s

Substitute these values in the rule

→ a=\frac{500-0}{30}=\frac{500}{30}=16.6 m/s²

<em>The average acceleration is 16.6 m/s²</em>

A skydiver of mass 87 kg falls straight down. If air resistance exerts 355 N of force on him as he falls, what is the net force
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

497.6 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The net force on the skydiver = weight of the skydiver- the resistive force of air

F' = W-F...................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the skydiver, F = resistive force of air.

But,

W = mg................ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the skydiver, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F' = mg-F............ Equation 3

Given: m = 87 kg, F = 355 N, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 3

F' = 87(9.8)-355

F' = 852.6-355

F' = 487.6 N

1) A ball is dropped from the Eiffel Tower (300 m), how long would it take for the ball to reach a velocity of 65 m/s? How far d
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

If you drop a ball from

the top of a building it

gains speed as it falls.

• Every second, its

speed increases by

10 m/s.

• Also it does not fall

equal distances in

equal time intervals

• If the acceleration = 0 then the velocity is

constant. [remember that acceleration is

the rate of change of velocity]

• In this case the distance an object will

travel in a certain amount of time is given

by distance = velocity x time

• For example, if you drive at 60 mph for

one hour you go 60 mph x 1 hr = 60 mi.
