A 5kg stone is lifted by a rope. its acceleration is 3m/s^2. the tention of the rope is ...
To find the tension of the rope, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:
Force = mass x acceleration
In this case, the mass of the stone is given as 5kg and the acceleration is given as 3m/s^2. So we can substitute these values into the equation to find the force:
Force = 5kg x 3m/s^2
Force = 15kg m/s^2
The unit of force is Newtons, so we need to convert this value to Newtons. Recall that 1 N (Newton) = 1 kg m/s^2. Therefore, we can conclude that the tension of the rope is 15 Newtons.
