Two ropes are attached to a 35 kg object. The first rope applies a force of 20 N and the second applies a force of 55 N. If the two ropes are perpendicular to each other, what is the resultant acceleration of the object?

Explanation:

Given:

forces by two mutually perpendicular ropes of the attached to the object:

Now we find the resultant force effect due to the two given forces:

Now the acceleration will be due to this resultant force:

Explanation:

mass of the object, m = 35 kg

Force in one direction, F1 = 20 N

force in perpendicular direction, F2 = 55 N

The net force is given by

F = 58.5 N

Let a be the net acceleration.

By the newton's second law

F = m a

58.5 = 35 x a

a = 1.67 m/s²

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
