this subforum is for SITE help, i suggest you repost in the physics subsection.

This sort of stuff is really quite basic, especially the first few questions. You need to study up. I'll give some hints for the first two:

1) KE = 1/2mv^2
2) W = Fs, that is, work = force * displacement.

The rest... the formatting is so bad that I can't even see it properly. Try editing your post and then labelling each question with a number, and make it nice and neat.

i think the first one is more simple, the total initial kinetic energy would be the same had u thrown it up or down, and as u are in the same position on the cliff, the initial gravitational potential energy would also be the same, assuming air resistance is neglected, there will be no loss in mechanical energy so the result would be the same.

3. we don't do friction forces in HSC physics, are u sure this isn't part of engineering?
4. can't see diagram

5. bit strangly worded, but it looks like there is 15N of force to the left and 5N to the right so the net force is 10N to the left, F = ma; a = F/m = 10/10 = 1ms^-2

6:i'm not to sure about this one but i'll try:
the tension in the rope is a stretching force which half comes from the force (bucket rope) and half (rope ceiling) so the force from the rope acting on the bucket from the rope is 22.5N. the bucket has a mass of 3.6kg and is subject to by a force of gravity W = mg = 35.28, hence net force is 12.78N downwards. the instantaneos acceleration, F = ma, a = F/m = 12.78/3.6 = 3.55ms^-2

""A bucket of sand of total mass 3.6 kg is suspended from a rope. At a certain instant of time, the tension in the rope is 45 N. What is the net force on the sand bucket at this instant?"

the tension pulls the bucket upwards and is greater than the weight of the bucket, so net force is F=45-3.6(9.8), acting upwards.

dude you go to la trobe university in melbourne right?


do you own god damn homework, everyone else has to.

i don't think you can go on forums to ask for answers during the final exam so good luck with that.
