Force = mass * acceleration

10 N - 2 N = 20 kg * acceleration

8 N = 20 kg * acceleration

8 / 20 = acceleration

2/5 m/s^2 = acceleration

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 10 N

Opposing force = 2 N

Mass of object = 20 kg

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of newton's second law

F = ma

Where, F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Put the value into the formula

10N-2N = 20\times a

8 N=20\times a

a =\dfrac{8}{20}

a=0.4\ m/s^2

Hence, The acceleration is 0.4 m/s²

Answer:

This value is less than the maximum tension of 500 lbs, making it safe for man to go to the tip flap

Explanation:

We must work on this problem using the rotational equilibrium equations and then they compared the tension values that the cable supports.

Let's start with fixing a reference system on the hinge of the flag, we take as positive the anti-clockwise turn

 They indicate the weight of the pole W₁ = 120 lb and a length of L = 9 ft, the weight of the man W₂ = 150, we assume that the cable is at the tip of the pole

            - T_{y} L + W₂ L + W₁ L / 2 = 0

            T_{y} = W₂ + W₁ / 2

            T_{y} = 120 + 150/2

            T_{y} = 195 lb

we use trigonometry to find the cable tension

             sin 30 = T_{y} / T

             T = T_{y} / sin 30

             T = 195 / sin 30

             T = 390 lb

This value is less than the maximum tension of 500 lbs, making it safe for man to go to the tip flap

             T < 500 lb

When Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun during June, some would argue that the cause of our seasons is that th
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Distance of Earth from the Sun has nothing to do with the seasons only the tilt is responsible for the change in seasons.

Explanation:

The Earth's tilt does cause the seasons but the distance from the sun and has nothing to do with the change in seasons. In June, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted in the direction of the Sun during the Northern Hemisphere summer the Earth is actually farthest from the Sun. In January, when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted in the direction of the Sun during the Northern Hemisphere winter the Earth is actually closest to the Sun. This is caused due to the elliptical orbit of the Earth. So, distance of Earth from the Sun has nothing to do with the seasons.

A careful photographic survey of Jupiter’s moon Io by the spacecraft Voyager 1 showed active volcanoes spewing liquid sulfur to
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

529.15 m/s

Explanation:

h = Maximum height = 70000 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2 m/s²

m = Mass of sulfur

As the potential and kinetic energies are conserved

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2\times 70000}\\\Rightarrow v=529.15\ m/s

The speed with which the liquid sulfur left the volcano is 529.15 m/s

Who pays for Government workers that work on alcohol impaired driving cases?
Shalnov [3]

Answer: Taxpayers

Explanation:

Taking alcohol before driving or while driving is dangerous and has resulted in lots of accidents and deaths. Alcohol tampers with the normal functioning of the brain, and also impairs ones reasoning.

Alcohol impaired driving cases handled by government officials are paid for by the taxpayers. A tax is the levy that the people in the country pays. Those funds are used in handling different government objectives and this is one of such ways.

A person wants to lose weight by "pumping iron". The person lifts an 80 kg weight 1 meter. How many times must this weight be li
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

37357 sec  

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Lifting weight 80 kg

1 cal = 4184 J

from information given in question we have

one lb fat consist of 3500 calories = 3500 x 4184 J

= 14.644 x 10^6 J  

Energy burns in 1 lift = m g h

                                  = 80 x 9.8 x 1 = 784 J

lifts required = \frac{(14.644 x 10^6)}{784}

                      = 18679

from the question,

1 lift in 2 sec.

so, total time = 18679 x 2 = 37357 sec  

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs
