The force is applied to the accelerating object that has a constant mass. Option A is correct.

<h3>What does Newton's second law of motion state?</h3>

The force applied to the object is the product of its mass and acceleration.

F = ma

Where,

F - force

m- mass

a - acceleration

From the equation, the force and the acceleration are in a proportional relation. The mass is not changing as given in the question.

Therefore, the force is applied to the accelerating object that has a constant mass.

Pavel [41]

The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).

An apple with mass 0.4 kg is hanging at rest from the lower end of a light vertical rope. A dart of mass 0.1 kg is shot vertical
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The speed of the apple just after the collision is 1m/s

Explanation:

Since the two bodies collided, we will apply the law of conservation of momentum to find their common velocity which states that the sum of momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the sum of momentum of the bodies after collision. After collision both bodies will move with a common velocity v.

Given momentum = mass × velocity

Initial momentum of the 0.4kg apple hanging at rest will be;

Momentum = 0.4kg×0m/s = 0kgm/s (the velocity of apple is 0m/s since it is hanging at rest)

Initial momentum of the 0.1kg dart moving with speed of 5m/s will be;

Momentum of dart = 0.1kg × 5m/s

Momentum of dart = 0.5kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision will give;

Momentum after collision = (0.4kg+0.1kg) × v (v is their common velocity)

Momentum after collision = 0.5v

Using the law of conservation of momentum to calculate their common velocity, we will have;

0+0.5 = 0.5v

0.5 = 0.5v

v = 0.5/0.5

v = 1m/s

Therefore the speed of both bodies after collision is 1m/s which will also serve as the speed of the apple after collision.
