Answer #1

According to the Newton 1st law of motion

Statement: Every Object is remain in it state rest or motion until it's experience by another external force.

Solution: So here spaceship having constant acceleration. But spaceship accelerate means its should have experience the external force. It's means their is acceleration their must force present(F=ma) so we can say that there must external constant force required to maintain const acceleration. All Newton laws should valid.

Some kids who watched the show jackass too many times strap a big rocket to a sled on a large horizontal parking lot covered in ice with a coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.14. The mass of the sled while occupied is 227.5kg, where we ignore the mass of the rocket and propellant. Over the course of 18s and starting from rest, the sled has a velocity of 21.3m/s. (a) Assuming we rotate our coordinate system so that they...

You push a block up a ramp using a constant horizontal force F = 300 N. For each distance of 5.00 m along the ramp, the box gains 4 m of height. a) Find the work done by the force F for each 5.00 m the box moves parallel to the ramp’s surface. b) If the block has a mass of 10 kg, what is the normal force between it and the ramp?

A 35 kg trunk is pushed 5.0 m at constant speed up a 30° incline by a constant horizontal force. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the trunk and the incline is 0.16. Calculate the work done by the applied horizontal force. Calculate the work done by the weight of the trunk. How much energy was dissipated by the frictional force acting on the trunk? From now suppose the 50 kg trunk is pushed 5.4 m at constant speed up...

A cart of mass m1(pictured) is free to move nearly frictionless up a ramp at angle θ. A small mass m2 hangs from a string that runs over a pulley and connects to m1. We will determine the acceleration of the cart m1 over a known distance x,then plot the acceleration of m1 as a function of the hanging mass m2. a) The hanging mass will create a constant pulling force to accelerate the cart up the ramp. Using Newton’s...

In this example we will calculate the coefficients of static and kinetic friction using two equations along with Newton’s second law of motion. Suppose that a delivery company has just unloaded a 500 N crate full of home exercise equipment in your level driveway. You find that to get it started moving toward your garage, you have to pull with a horizontal force of magnitude 230 N. Once the crate “breaks loose” and starts to move, you can keep it...
