Why must weight be constant if acceleration is inversely proportional to mass? What’s the effect of the weight?

acceleration equals to the force applied divided by mass

an object moving at a velocity of x carries the force of its mass times its speed.

when you apply a force onto an object, the increase in speed of it would be affected by its mass. Think of it this way: you apply some force onto an iron ball, and apply the same force on a plastic ball (they are of equal volume). Which one moves faster, and which one moves slower? The answer is obvious: the iron ball will accelerate slower and travel slower, while the plastic ball is faster.

The iron ball has a greater mass, so the force which makes it accelerate is deduced more. The plastic ball has a smaller mass, so the force applied is divided by a smaller number.

I hope this helps you a bit.

a horizontal force of 2500 N is applied for a time of 30 seconds to the car mass of 1000 kg if the car is at rest and friction i
Digiron [165]

Newton’s second law: F=ma. 2500=1000a. a=2.5m/s*s. Final velocity is 2.5*30=75m/s. Average speed is (Vi+Vf)/2, which is 37.5m/s. D=vt. 37.5*30=1125m. The distance traveled is 1125 meters

5.) A 2000 N bear slides down a tree at a constant velocity, what is the
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

2000 N

1600 N

Explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the bear's weight is 2000 N and it slides down the tree with constant velocity. Since it is sliding with constant velocity the overall force  on the bear is zero. The weight of the bear acting downward balances the upward force caused due to friction. Hence the upward force equals the weight 2000 N.  

Step 2:

It is given that the bear slides down with an acceleration 2 m/sec sq  

Weight of the bear = 2000 N

Mass of the bear = 2000/10 (taking g = 10 m/sec sq)=200 kg

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Hence net force acting downward = 200*2=400 N.

Net force = Weight of bear - Force acting upward on the bear

400 = 2000 -  Force acting upward on the bear

Force on the bear acting upward = 2000 - 400 = 1600 N

Which of the following would increase the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine
kotykmax [81]

Higher wind speeds would increase the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine.

<h3>What is a power plant?</h3>

A power plant is an industrial structure that generates electricity. The majority of power plants are linked to the electrical grid.

Stronger winds produce greater power because they enable the blades to revolve more quickly. Greater mechanical and electrical power from the generator result from faster spinning.

Hence, higher wind speeds would increase the amount of electricity generated by a wind turbine.

To learn more about the power plant, refer to the link;
