If I am lifting a box with a force of 100 N and the box has an acceleration of 10 N, what is the mass of the box?

Answer:

a. How much force is required to lift a box of weight 100 N upwards with a constant acceleration of 6.0 m/s2?

b. How much upwards force is required to lower the same box with a downward acceleration of 3.0 m/s2?

a. As the box weighs 100 N, its mass is 100 N / 9.8 ms-2  =  10.2 kg.  To have an upward acceleration of 6.0 m/s2, there must be a net upward force of F =ma  =  10.2 kg x 6.0 m/s2 =  61.2 N.  The total upward force must be equal have a magnitude to overcome the downward force of gravity and to provide for the upward acceleration  Ftotal up = 100 N + 61.2 N  =  161.2 N.

b. There must be a net downward force F = ma = 10.2 kg x 3.0 m/s2  =  30.6 N upward.  There must be an upward force to counteract the downward force of gravity so that the resultant will be 30.6 N.  The equation necessary for this is 100 N - upward force =  30.6 N.  Solving for the upward force gives  69.4 N.

You need to put a metal rod
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
-- Put the rod into the freezer for a while.  As it cools,
it contracts (gets smaller) slightly.

-- Put the cylinder into hot hot water for a while.  As it heats,
it expands (gets bigger) slightly.

-- Bring the rod and the cylinder togther quickly, before the
rod has a chance to warm up or the cylinder has a chance
to cool off.

-- I bet it'll fit now.

-- But be careful . . . get the rod exactly where you want it as fast
as you can.  Once both pieces come back to the same temperature,
and the rod expands a little and the cylinder contracts a little, the fit
will be so tight that you'll probably never get them apart again, or even
move the rod.

An elevator (mass 4125 kg) is to be designed so that the maximum acceleration is 0.0400g.
fiasKO [112]
The way to do this is very easy so do 4125 x 2 = ? then the ? will be times by 2 again after the answer to both of those is your answer!!!

choose the correct anwer 9: the range of the gravitional force is given by A: 10_2m B:10_15m C: infinite D: 10_10m​
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force depends inversely on the square of the radial distance between the centers of the two masses. Thus, essentially, the force can only fall to zero, when the denominator that is r becomes infinite.
