Match each physical scenario with the magnitude of its resulting acceleration. Apply Newton's Second Law of Motion () and ensure you calculate the net force for each situation.
- A 4,000 kg transport vehicle on a level surface experiences a forward thrust of 12,000 N, a headwind drag of 2,000 N, and rolling friction of 2,000 N.
- A 1,500 kg hovercraft on water is pushed by two rear propellers providing 3,000 N of thrust each, while facing a 1,500 N opposing water current.
- A 500 kg payload is hoisted vertically upward by a crane whose cable exerts an upward tension of 8,000 N. (Assume )
- An 800 kg elevator descends as its support cable applies an upward tension of 4,800 N. (Assume )
Cevap
The correct matches are: Transport vehicle maps to 2.0 m/s², Hovercraft maps to 3.0 m/s², Hoisted payload maps to 6.0 m/s², and Descending elevator maps to 4.0 m/s².
Each correct match is derived by first identifying all acting forces on the object, determining the net force (), and then dividing by the mass (). For horizontal motion, opposing forces (friction, drag) are subtracted from applied thrust. For vertical motion, the object's weight () must be calculated and subtracted from the cable tension.
