Hey guys, I didnt understand why statement 3 is wrong. Isn’t the acceleration equal to the gravity (a=g). Am I wrong?
Hi!
1). GPE=m x g x h=100 x 10 x 2(from d=v x t)= 2000J so, it’s correct.
2). The tension in the cable equals weight of the mass which equals mg= 100 x 10=1000N so, it’s not correct.
3). we are told that the mass moves at a constant speed hence, we have no acceleration.
Thus answer is A.
Hope it helps:)
