For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.
Here's the equation again:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have: Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .
Now the answer jumps out at us: The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.
The book is lifted upward, but gravity points down, so the work done by gravity must be negative (so you can eliminate options 1 and 3).
The force exerted on the book by gravity has magnitude
<em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> = (10 N) (9.80 m/s^2) = 9.8 N ≈ 10 N
You raise the book 1.0 m in the opposite direction, so the work done is
<em>W</em> = (10 N) (-1.0 m) = -10 J
<h2>Answer: electrostatic and gravitational force
</h2><h2 />
Mechanical energy remains constant (conserved) if only <u>conservative forces</u> act on the particles.
In this sense, the following forces are conservative:
-Gravitational
-Elastic
-Electrostatics
While the Friction Force and the Magnetic Force are not conservative.
According to this, mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of electrostatic and gravitational forces.
They are speed and direction.
Answer:
588 N
Explanation:
Since the 60 kg is moving at a constant velocity there is no acceleration. In order for the system to be balanced, both the normal force and the force of gravity must be equal. In this case the man has a mass of 60 kg. So to find the force you multiply mass by gravitys constant (9.81). And you end up with an answer of 588.6 but I rounded to 588.
