Question

You are a Starfleet captain going boldly where no man has gone before. You land on a distant planet and visit an engineering testing lab. In one experiment a short, light rope is attached to the top of a block and a constant upward force F is applied to the free end of the rope. The block has mass m and is initially at rest. As F is varied, the time for the block to move upward 8.00 m is measured. The values that you collected are given in the table below.

Select the correct graph of  versus the acceleration  of the block.Select the correct graph of F versus the acceleration a of the block.

Explanation / Answer

we know that s = 0.5xaxt^2

substitute s = 8 and t given from the table to find accelerations for different forces

fourth graph   ( answer )

for F = 250 N

acceleration is 1.47

for F = 400

acceleration is 7.11

for F = 500

acceleration is 11.1
