Can a body be in equilibrium if only one external force act on its ? explain

Physics
1 answer:
Mariulka [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

If there is only 1 force, the body can never be in equilibrium, providing that the force is not zero (and that would hardly be a force. Zero is possible in math and it means something. It is debatable in physics).

You cannot think of a condition where something is stationary on planet earth and there are not 2 forces or more forces involved.

Think of something like a block of wood sitting on a table. It is not moving, we'll say. Gravity is holding it down, but what is pushing up on it?

The table is. There are 2 forces and they are equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction. That matters.

Answer:

Using g = 9.8: 1.02 kg, Using g = 10: 1 kg

Explanation:

E = mgh

20 = m(9.8)(3 - 1)

20 = 9.8m(2)

20 = 19.6m

m = 1.02 kg

I'm now assuming you may be using a g constant of 10, thus the close integer result, in which case the mass would be exactly 1 kilogram.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) wave length of waves in water

= velocity / frequency

= 1482 / (18 x 1000)

= .0823 m

= 8.23 cm

b ) Applying Doppler's effect relation

frequency of reflected wave

= 18000 [ 1482 / (1482 - 4.95 ) ]

= 18000 x 1.003385

= 18061

Difference in frequency= 61 Hz

An airplane propeller is rotating at 2000 rev/min.
Fudgin [204]

A 1 complete revolution corresponds to an angular displacement of 2π rad, or 360º. (So there are 180º for every π rad.) Also, there are 60 seconds to 1 minute. So, the angular velocity in rad/s is

(2000 rev/min) * (2π rad/rev) * (1/60 min/s) = 200π/3 rad/s

or approximately 209.44 rad/s.

B First convert the angular velocity to degrees per second (º/s):

(200π/3 rad/s) * (180/π º/rad) = 12,000 º/s

We want to find the time <em>t</em> it would take for the propeller to turn 36º:

36º = (12,000 º/s) <em>t</em>

==>  <em>t</em> = 36º / (12,000 º/s) = 3/1000 s

or approximately 0.003 s.
