Answer #1

a)

W = Fd = 800 * 20 = 16000 J

=====

b)

a = F/m = 800 / 1200 = 0.667 m/s^2

=====

Comment in case any doubt, will reply for sure.. Goodluck

    You are in a helicopter towing a 129-kg laser detector that is mapping out the thickness of the Brunt Ice Shelf along the coast of Antarctica. The original cable used to suspend the detector was damaged and replaced by a lighter one with a maximum tension rating of 313 pounds, not much more than the weight of the detector. The replacement cable would work without question in the case that the detector and helicopter were not accelerating. However, some acceleration...
