Yolanda might put more items to the desk to make it heavier, requiring more force.

We need to learn more about the force acting on an object in order to locate the solution.

<h3>How can the force that is required to modify the motion be increased?</h3>

We are aware that the word for force is,

F=ma

where m denotes the object's mass and an its acceleration

There are two ways to increase the force required to alter the motion of the table.

One is to increase the mass, and the other is to accelerate it more quickly.

Otherwise, there will be a lot of friction between the surfaces, making it difficult to move without exerting a lot of force.

We can infer from this that Yolanda could add items to the desk to increase its mass, necessitating the use of additional force.

Wow ! This one could have some twists and turns in it.
Fasten your seat belt. It's going to be a boompy ride.

-- The buoyant force is precisely the missing 30N .

-- In order to calculate the density of the frewium sample, we need to know
its mass and its volume. Then, density = mass/volume .

-- From the weight of the sample in air, we can closely calculate its mass.

 Weight = (mass) x (gravity)
 185N = (mass) x (9.81 m/s²)
 Mass = (185N) / (9.81 m/s²) = 18.858 kilograms of frewium

-- For its volume, we need to calculate the volume of the displaced water.

The buoyant force is equal to the weight of displaced water, and the
density of water is about 1 gram per cm³. So the volume of the
displaced water (in cm³) is the same as the number of grams in it.

The weight of the displaced water is 30N, and weight = (mass) (gravity).

 30N = (mass of the displaced water) x (9.81 m/s²)

 Mass = (30N) / (9.81 m/s²) = 3.058 kilograms

 Volume of displaced water = 3,058 cm³

Finally, density of the frewium sample = (mass)/(volume)

 Density = (18,858 grams) / (3,058 cm³) = 6.167 gm/cm³ (rounded)

================================================

I'm thinking that this must be the hard way to do it,
because I noticed that

 (weight in air) / (buoyant force) = 185N / 30N = 6.1666...

So apparently . . .

 (density of a sample) / (density of water) =

 (weight of the sample in air) / (buoyant force in water) .

I never knew that, but it's a good factoid to keep in my tool-box.

A parachute is a device designed to generate a LOT of air resistance.
Parachutes do that very well in places where there's any air to work with.
There is no air on the Moon.

Discuss the force that exists between the Earth and the moon by referring to the mass of each.

Fudgin [204]

The word gravity is used to describe the gravitational pull (force) an object experiences on or near the surface of a planet or moon. The gravitational force is a force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. Any object with mass exerts a gravitational force on any other object with mass.

Hope it answers your question!

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Net pull = 110 N to the left

Explanation:

Group the different pulls according to the direction (right or left)

2 pull 196 N each to the right

4 pull 98 N each to the left

5 pull 62 N each to the left

3 pull 150 N each to the right

1 pull 250 N to the left

Since positive direction is to the right, the pulls to the left will have a minus (-)

$Net Force= 2(196)+4(-98)+5(-62)+3(150)+1(-250) \\Net Force = -110$

The resulting force is negative, meaning the direction is to the left
