An object that is experiencing two vertical forces (upwards and a downwards) is moving downward with a constant speed. What can be concluded about the strength of the two forces?

Answers

Answer:

Both upward and downward forces are equal

Explanation:

When an object is acted upon by two vertical forces ; upward and downward, and the object moved at a constant speed, then the net force acting upon the object is zero(upward force + downward force = 0). This is because an object will only move at a constant velocity if the opposing forces cancels each other out. Since the falling object is already in motion, and maintaining a constant velocity, there is no for required to keep the body in motion and as such the Velocity at which the body is moving remains constant.

The radius of the planet Mercury is 2.43 x 10^6m and its mass
is 3.2 x 10^23 kg. What is the speed of a satellite in orbit
265.000 m above the surface?

Answers

Hey There!_____________________________________Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{Option D}[/tex]

_____________________________________DATA:

Radius of Mercury = [tex]R_m[/tex] = [tex]2.43x10^6m[/tex]

Mass of Mercury = [tex]M_m = 3.2x10^{23}m[/tex]

Distance Satellite above the surface of the Mercury = d = 265,000m

Gravitational Constant =  [tex]G = 6.67x10^{-11} \frac{N.m^2}{kg^2}[/tex]

_____________________________________SOLUTION:

Since the Satellite is orbiting around the Planet Mercury, due to the centripetal force, and Centripetal force is the force that acts towards the center of the circle, Whereas The gravitational force also acts towards the center of the circle thus we can say that Centripetal force is equal or same as centripetal force.  So,

               

                                             [tex]F_g =F_C[/tex]

Fg is Given by,

                                           [tex]F_g = \frac{GM_MM_S}{r^2}[/tex]

Fc is Given by,

                                           [tex]F_c=\frac{M_SV^2}{r}[/tex]

Where,

            G is Gravitational Constant

            [tex]M_e[/tex] is mass of Planet Mercury

            [tex]M_S[/tex] is Mass of Satellite

             r(small letter) is the distance between the center of the Planet Mercury and the satellite.

             V is velocity of satellite

_____________________________________

Now,

                                 [tex]\frac{GM_MM_S}{r^2} =\frac{M_SV^2}{r}[/tex]

                         

                                 [tex]V = \sqrt\frac{GM_M}{r}[/tex]

 r can also be written as,

                           

                                  [tex]V = \sqrt\frac{GM_M}{R_M +d}[/tex]

Substitute the variables,

         

                                  [tex]V = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67x10^{-11})x(3.2x10^{23})}{2695000}[/tex]

Simplify the equation,

           

                                  V = 2814 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Approximately,

                                  V = 2800 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

A box is sitting stationary on a long level ramp on level ground. The coefficient of static friction is (1.0). One end of the ramp is slowly lifted higher and higher. What is the angle of the ramp with respect to the ground when the box begins slidig?

Answers

Answer:

45 degrees

Explanation:

Given that the coefficient of friction, [tex]\mu=1.0[/tex]

Let the angle of the ramp be [tex]\theta[/tex].

The gravitational force acting downward [tex]=mg[/tex]

The normal reaction by the ramp on the box, [tex]N=mg\cos\theta[/tex]

So, the maximum frictional force that can act on the box, [tex]f= \mu N[/tex]

The force along with the plane in the direction of sliding, [tex]F = mg\sin\theta[/tex]

When the box begins sliding, the F must have to overcome the frictional force,f.

So, F=f

[tex]mg\sin\theta=\mu N \\\\mg\sin\theta=\mu mg\cos\theta \\\\\frac {\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\mu \\\\\tan\theta=\mu \\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}\mu \\\\[/tex]

Putting the value of \mu, we have

[tex]\theta=\tan^{-1}1[/tex]

[tex]\theta=45[/tex] degrees.

Hence, the angle of the ramp with respect to the ground when the box begins sliding is 45 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

μ = 0.125

Explanation:

To solve this problem, which is generally asked for the coefficient of friction, we will use the conservation of energy.

Let's start working on the ramp

starting point. Highest point of the ramp

         Em₀ = U = m h y

final point. Lower part of the ramp, before entering the rough surface

        [tex]Em_{f}[/tex] = K = ½ m v²

as they indicate that there is no friction on the ramp

          Em₀ = Em_{f}

          m g y = ½ m v²

          v = [tex]\sqrt{2gy}[/tex]

we calculate

          v = √(2 9.8 0.25)

           v = 2.21 m / s

in the rough part we use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

          W = ΔK = K_{f} -K₀

as it stops the final kinetic energy is zero

          W = -K₀

The work is done by the friction force, which opposes the movement

          W = - fr x

friction force has the expression

          fr = μ N

let's write Newton's second law for the vertical axis

         N-W = 0

         N = W = m g

we substitute

            -μ m g x = - ½ m v²

           μ = [tex]\frac{v^{2} }{2 g x}[/tex]

Let's calculate

           μ = [tex]\frac{2.21^{2}}{2\ 9.8\ 2.0}[/tex]

           μ = 0.125

A 8.0 kg box is released from rest at a height y0 = 0.25 m on a frictionless ramp. The box slides from the ramp onto a rough horizontal surface. The box slides 2.0 m horizontally until it stops.

Jake pushes with 20 N of force, what force would he feel
backwards away from Amir? F= N

Answers

Explanation:

If Jake pushes with 20 N of force, the force that he would feel backwards away from Amir is 20N

Force simply means the strength or energy that can later the position of an object. Force can also be described as a push or pull.

It should be noted that since Jake pushes with 20 N of force, the force that he would feel backwards away from Amir will be the exact force that was used in pushing.

Which equation represents the law of conservation of energy in a closed system?

KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf
PEi + PEf = KEi + KEf
KEi – KEf = PEi – PEf
KEi – PEf = PEi – KEf

Answers

Answer:

[tex]K_{i}+U_{g,i} = K_{f}+U_{g,f}[/tex]

Explanation:

A closed system is a system where exists energy interactions with surroundings, but not mass interactions. If we neglect any energy interactions from boundary work, heat, electricity, magnetism and nuclear phenomena and assume that process occurs at steady state and all effects from non-conservative forces can be neglected, then the equation of energy conservation is reduce to this form:

[tex]\Delta K +\Delta U_{g} = 0[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]\Delta K[/tex] - Change in kinetic energy of the system, measured in joules.

[tex]\Delta U_{g}[/tex] - Change in gravitational potential energy of the system, measured in joules.

If we know that [tex]\Delta K=K_{i}-K_{f}[/tex] and [tex]\Delta U_{g} = U_{g,i}-U_{g,f}[/tex], then we get the following equation:

[tex]K_{i}+U_{g,i} = K_{f}+U_{g,f}[/tex] (2)

Where [tex]i[/tex] and [tex]f[/tex] stands for initial and final states of each energy component.

Diana hangs a lead cylinder with a force of 12 N from a model bridge.


Which vector(s) accurately illustrates the reaction force of the bridge on the lead cylinder?

Answers

The answer would be A and I’m pretty sure of thta

The action and reaction law allows us to find that the reaction force, the weight of the cylinder, is:

  12 N force directed upward

Newton's third law or action and reaction law, establishes that if two bodies interact with each other the force that one applies to the other, is equal in magnitude to the force of the second on the first but in the opposite direction, that is, all forces act in pairs one in each body that interact.

Forces with these characteristics are called action and reaction.

In this case we have a hanging cylinder, with the cylinder it has mass so the weight is 12 N it acts on the table in a downward direction, let's say this is the action force.

In response to this force, the table exerts a force on the cylinder of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction, which is why it is directed upwards.

let's analyze the force diagram

When analyzing the forces shown in the diagram, the forces of equal magnitude to the weight are the first two

The weight is directed downward, the answer must be directed upward.

In conclusion using theaction and reaction law we find that the answer for reaction force is:

    12 N force directed upward

1. A large ocean liner floating in the sea has a volume of
375 000 m² and displaces 50 000 m² of sea water. Determine the
density and mass of the ship. Explain why, despite being made
of metal, the ship is able to float.​

Answers

Answer:

Density of the ship :133.33 kg/m³

Mass of the ship :50,000,000 kg

Ships are able to float on water because they displace a volume that equals  their own weight

Explanation:

The formula for density is ;

Density = Mass/Volume

But the mass of  displaced fluid is give by the formula;

m=ρV where ρ is density of the fluid and V is volume of water displaced

Volume of liner= 375000 m³

Volume displaced = 50000 m³

The volume of the water displaced is equal to mass of the liner

I m³ = 1000 kg

50000 m³ = 50000*1000 =50,000,000 kg

50,000,000 kg ----------mass of the ship

So if ;

m= 50,000,000 kg

v= 375000 m³

ρ = m/V

ρ = 50,000,000/375000

ρ = 50,000,000/375000

ρ =133.33 kg/m³

Ships are able to float on water because they displace a volume that equals  their own weight. Additionally, the air contained in the spaces of the ship inside is much less dense than density of water aiding in the floating process.

C. 40 N/cm2

D. 160 N/cm2​

Answers

B is the answer it’s

The pressure exerted on the ground is 40 N/cm². Hence, option (C) is correct.

What is pressure?

It is the ratio between the force being applied and the surface area being applied to. The force delivered perpendicularly to an object's surface per unit area across which that force is dispersed is known as pressure.

SI unit of pressure is Pascal or Newton/meter².

Given parameters:

Mass of the car: m = 1600 kg.

Gravitational field strength: g = 10 N/kg

Area of each tyre of car: a = 100 cm²

Hence, total force applied by the car = mg = 1600 × 10 Newton = 16000 Newton.

As the weight of the car is equally distributed amongst the four tyres;  force applied on each tyre = 16000 Newton/4 = 4000 Newton.

Hence, the pressure exerted on the ground  = force/area

= 4000/100 N/cm²

= 40 N/cm²

hence, option (C) is correct.
