A 5 kg ball is suspended on one cable. Calculate the tension in the cable

49N

Explanation:

F=ma

We know the mass is 5kg, and since the ball is suspended on one cable, the acceleration is g, 9.8m/s^2

F=5kg*9.8m/s^2

 = 49N

Hope this helps!

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
