Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be balance force if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be unbalanced force if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to Newton second law of motion , acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

F=ma

a= $\frac{F}{m}$

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.

Answer:

1) Any particle moving in a horizontal plane slowed by friction, deceleration = 32 μ

2) The particle moving by acceleration = P/m - 32μ OR The external force = ma + 32μm

Explanation:

* Lets revise Newton’s Third Law:

- For every action there is a reaction, equal in magnitude and opposite

in direction.

- Examples:

# 1) A particle moving freely against friction in a horizontal plane

- When no external forces acts on the particle, then its equation of

motion is;

∵ ∑ forces in direction of motion = mass × acceleration

∵ No external force

∵ The friction force (F) = μR, where μ is coefficient of the frictional force

and R is the normal reaction of the weight of the particle on the

surface

∵ The frictional force is in opposite direction of the motion

∴ ∑ forces in the direction of motion = 0 - F

∴ 0 - F = mass × acceleration

- Substitute F by μR

∴ - μR = mass × acceleration

∵ R = mg where m is the mass of the particle and g is the acceleration

of gravity

∴ - μ(mg) = ma ⇒ a is the acceleration of motion

- By divide both sides by m

∴ - μ(g) = a

∵ The acceleration of gravity ≅ 32 feet/sec²

∴ a = - 32 μ

* Any particle moving in a horizontal plane slowed by friction,

deceleration = 32 μ

# 2) A particle moving under the action of an external force P in a

horizontal plane.

- When an external force P acts on the particle, then its equation

of motion is;

∵ ∑ forces in direction of motion = mass × acceleration

∵ The external force = P

∵ The friction force (F) = μR, where μ is coefficient of the frictional force

and R is the normal reaction of the weight of the particle on the

surface

∵ The frictional force is in opposite direction of the motion

∴ ∑ forces in the direction of motion = P - F

∴ P - F = mass × acceleration

- Substitute F by μR

∴ P - μR = mass × acceleration

∵ R = mg where m is the mass of the particle and g is the acceleration

of gravity

∴ P - μ(mg) = ma ⇒ a is the acceleration of motion

∵ The acceleration of gravity ≅ 32 feet/sec²

∴ P - 32μm = ma ⇒ (1)

- divide both side by m

∴ a = (P - 32μm)/m ⇒ divide the 2 terms in the bracket by m

∴ a = P/m - 32μ

* The particle moving by acceleration = P/m - 32μ

- If you want to fin the external force P use equation (1)

∵ P - 32μm = ma ⇒ add 32μm to both sides

∴ P = ma + 32μm

* The external force = ma + 32μm

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$XY=636N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance $d=0.35m$

Angle $\theta=32\textdegree$

Force $F=750N$

Generally the equation for magnitude of the stabilizing component of the brachialis force is mathematically given by

$XY=Fcos\theta$

$XY=750cos 32\textdegree$

$XY=636N$

Answer:

Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) was an influential German philosopher of the twentieth century, inspiring a variety of scholastic disciplines from aesthetics to theology. In suggesting understanding was interpretation and vice versa, Gadamer identifies language acting as the medium for understanding. Gadamer’s philosophy of hermeneutics has major implications for education and formal schooling because Hermeneutics help to know the knowledge a student has prior to the lesson. This helps in the dialogue about a subject matter and therefore, the philosophy of Hermeneutics when applied in classroom helps the teachers pass information easily and effectively, hence, the learners capture the whole content of a topic.
