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.

Zanzabum

Split the operation in two parts. Part A) constant acceleration 58.8m/s^2, Part B) free fall.

Part A)
Height reached, y = a*[t^2] / 2 = 58.8 m/s^2 * [7.00 s]^2 / 2 = 1440.6 m

Now you need the final speed to use it as initial speed of the next part.

Vf = Vo + at = 0 + 58.8m/s^2 * 7.00 s = 411.6 m/s

Part B) Free fall

Maximum height, y max ==> Vf = 0

Vf = Vo - gt ==> t = [Vo - Vf]/g = 411.6 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 42 s

ymax = yo + Vo*t - g[t^2] / 2

ymax = 1440.6 m + 411.6m/s * 42 s - 9.8m/s^2 * [42s]^2 /2
ymax = 1440.6 m + 17287.2m - 8643.6m = 10084.2 m

Answer: ymax = 10084.2m

Two identical resistors connected in series have an equivalent resistance of 4 ohms. The same two resistors, when connected in p

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1 ohm

Explanation:

since there are two identical resistors, one resistor will be

R = $\frac{4}{2}$ =2ohm [ proven as in series $R_{e} = 2 + 2 = 4ohm$ ]

to calculate the equivalent resistance when in parallel:

$\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2}}$

so,

$\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}$

$R_{e} = 1ohm$

If you tie a rope to a tree and move it up and down, you are creating what kind of wave?

loris [4]

This is called a<em> standing wave</em> since the waves don't move ALONG the rope. They just kind of stand in one place on the rope. if you just whip a long rope that's not tied to anything, you see the wave move along the rope, this is a TRANSVERSE wave. When you crack a qhip you send a transverse wave down the whip which concentrates in the tip, accelerating the tip to faster than the speed of sound resulting in a tiny sonic boom or "whip crack".

A man throw a ball vertically up word with an intial speed 20m/s. What is the maximum height rich by the ball and how long does

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

u=20 m/s, T=4s

Explanation:

Given final velocity v= 0 m/s and displacement h= 20 m; acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/ s 2

From equation of motion

v2=u2+2gs−u2=−2(10).20u=20m/s

and time t can be determined by the formula

t=gv−u=−10−20=2s

total time = 2× time of ascend=2×2=4s
