Explanation:

R = A + B. Vectors in the opposite direction are subtracted from each other to obtain the resultant vector. Here the vector B is opposite in direction to the vector A, and R is the resultant vector.

How can i find the acceleration?(rope and grinder have no weight) *** sorry for my english

Finger [1]

The main formula to be used here is

Force = (mass) x (acceleration).

We'll get to work in just a second. But first, I must confess to you that I see
two things happening here, and I only know how to handle one of them. So
my answer will be incomplete, but I believe it will be more reliable than the
first answer that was previously offered here.

On the right side ... where the 2 kg and the 3 kg are hanging over the same
pulley, those weights are not balanced, so the 3 kg will pull the 2kg down, with
some acceleration. I don't know what to do with that, because . . .

At the same time, both of those will be pulled up by the 10 kg on the other side
of the upper pulley.

I think I can handle the 10 kg, and work out the acceleration that IT has.

Let's look at only the forces on the 10 kg:

-- The force of gravity is pulling it down, with the whatever the weight of 10 kg is.

-- At the same time, the rope is pulling it UP, with whatever the weight of 5 kg is ...
that's the weight of the two smaller blocks on the other end of the rope.

So, the net force on the 10 kg is the weight of (10 - 5) = 5 kg, downward.

The weight of 5 kg is (mass) x (gravity) = (5 x 9.8) = 49 newtons.

The acceleration of 10 kg, with 49 newtons of force on it, is

Acceleration = (force) / (mass) = 49/10 = 4.9 meters per second²

How many times longer than the length of one year is the age of the universe?

Len [333]

No one can really tell exactly how old the universe is. However, scientists have attempted to estimate the time by using the concept of Doppler effect which depends on the frequency of the stars and their relative velocities. From literature, the universe is about 13.82 billion years old. Thus, the age of the universe is 13.82×10⁹ times longer than a year.

jeremie ran around the track at the ymca for 2 hours. when he was done he figured that he had traveled 20 kilometers. what was h

laila [671]

(1) Speed is the ratio of the total distance covered by the object and the total time it takes for him to finish it.

Speed = distance / time

In this item, we are given that the distance is 20 kilometers and that the time it takes for the trip is 2 hours. Substituting the known values,
Speed = 20 kilometers / 2 hours
speed = 20 km/h

(2) Velocity on the other hand takes into account the displacement of the object from his original position. It is assumed that Jeremie was basically back to his original position after two hours. Hence, the velocity is equal to zero.

Why is the answer B for this question? I know acceleration should be negative down but I don't know the other two variables.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement, velocity, and acceleration are vectors: they have magnitude and direction.

The convention is that "down" is negative and "up" is positive.

Thus, if an object is higher than when it started, its displacement is positive. If it is lower, the displacement is negative.

If it is still going "up", its velocity is positive. If it is falling, its velocity is negative.

1. Displacement

The formula for vertical displacement is

Δy = v₀t - ½gt²

If v₀ = 30 m/s, t = 2 s, and g = 9.8 m·s⁻², then

$\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta y & = & 30 \times2 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times2^{2}\\& = & 60 - 4.9 \times 4\\& = & 60 - 19.6\\& = & \mathbf{40.4}\\\end{array}\\\text{The displacement is}\textbf{ up}}$

2. Velocity

The formula for vertical velocity is

v = v₀ - gt

If v₀ = 30 m/s, t = 2 s, and g = 9.8 m·s⁻², then

$\begin{array}{rcl}v & = & 30 - 9.8 \times 2\\& = & 30 - 19.6\\& = & \mathbf{10.4}\\\end{array}\\\text{The velocity is}\textbf{ up}}$

3. Acceleration

The vertical acceleration is always -g = -9.8 m·s⁻².

The direction of the acceleration is down.

The only option with the sequence "up, up, down" is B.
