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 person takes a trip, driving with a constant
podryga [215]
For this problem, we are asked to calculate for the distance traveled. We set up the equations as follows:
Distance = 61 km/hr * (time + 20.8/60 s) Distance = 98.5 km/hr * time

We equate the two equations, then we can solve for the time spent on the trip. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Jumping up before the elevator hits. After the cable snaps and the safety system fails, an elevator cab free-falls from a height
noname [10]

Answer:

a)   I = 2279.5 N s , b) F = 3.80 10⁵ N, c)   I = 3125.5 N s  and d)  F = 5.21 10⁵ N

Explanation:

The impulse is equal to the variation in the amount of movement.

    I =∫ F dt = Δp

     I = mv_{f} - m v₀

Let's calculate the final speed using kinematics, as the cable breaks the initial speed is zero

   v_{f}² = V₀² - 2g y

   v_{f}² = 0 - 2 9.8 30.0

   v_{f} = √588

   v_{f} = 24.25 m/s

a) We calculate the impulse

   I = 94 24.25 - 0

   I = 2279.5 N s

b) Let's join the other expression of the impulse to calculate the average force

   I = F t

  F = I / t

  F = 2279.5 / 6 10⁻³

  F = 3.80 10⁵ N

just before the crash the passenger jumps up with v = 8 m / s, let's take the moments of interest just when the elevator arrives with a speed of 24.25m/s down and as an end point the jump up to vf = 8 m / n

c)     I = m v_{f} - m v₀

       I = 94 8 - 94 (-24.25)

       I = 3125.5 N s

d)     F = I / t

       F = 3125.5 / 6 10⁻³

       F = 5.21 10⁵ N

To what circuit element is an ideal capacitor equivalent in circuits for which the currents and voltages are constant with time?
Vanyuwa [196]

Explanation:

Since the current flowing through an ideal capacitor is described by equation:

i_{C}=C\frac{dV}{dt}

for voltage across the capacitor constant with time the current is:

i_{C}=\frac{d(Constant)}{dt}=0

Open switch has this characteristics (Constant voltage and zero current).
