Let's call

the mass of the glider and

the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string.
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:

For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is

) and the acceleration a:

So, if we equalize the two equations, we get

and from this we can find the acceleration:
Answer:
50m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 20m/s
Acceleration = 4m/s²
Time = 10s
Unknown:
Distance traveled by the rocket = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem use the expression below;
v² = u² + 2as
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the distance
final velocity = 0
Insert the parameters and solve;
0² = 20² + 2 x 4 x s
-400 = 8s
s = 50m
Disregard the negative sign because distance cannot be negative.
Answer:
option C
Explanation:
given,
force act on west = 20 lb
force act at 45° east of north = 80 lb
magnitude of force = ?
∑ F y = 80 cos 45⁰
F y = 56.57 lb
magnitude of forces in x- direction
∑ F x = -20 + 80 sin 45⁰
= 36.57 lb
net force
F = 
F = 
F = 67.36 lb≅ 67 lb
hence, the correct answer is option C
<em>I'm sorry, it says check all that apply, however there are no choices given. You should edit, and add the multiple choice answers.</em>
My Answer:
Well if the masses of two objects were both decreased, it would result in a decrease in the gravitational force. So I guess the two objects masses would need to be decreased.
