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.

You are on a sled at the top of a hemispherical, snowy hill of radius 13 m. You begin to slide down the hill. How fast are you m
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be loss of potential energy due to loss of height and gain of kinetic energy .

loss of height = R - R cos 14 ,    R is radius of hemisphere .

R ( 1 - cos 12 )

= 13 ( 1 - .978 )

h = .286 m

loss of potential energy

= mgh

= m x 9.8 x .286

= 2.8 m

gain of kinetic energy

1/2 m v ² = mgh

v² = 2 g h

v²  = 2 x 9.8 x 2.8

v = 7.40 m /s

If you can throw a stone straight up to height h, what’s the maximum horizontal distance you could throw it over level ground?
Mariana [72]
To answer this question, first we take note that the maximum height that can be reached by an object thrown straight up at a certain speed is calculated through the equation,
                            Hmax = v²sin²θ/2g
where v is the velocity, θ is the angle (in this case, 90°) and g is the gravitational constant. Since all are known except for v, we can then solve for v whichi s the initial velocity of the projectile. 

Once we have the value of v, we multiply this by the total time traveled by the projectile to solve for the value of the range (that is the total horizontal distance).
