What 3 things can an object with unbalanced forces do?

1 answer:

3 0

Forces are considered balanced when all of the combined forces lead to no change in the motion of the object. For example, when a book is sitting on a table, the force of gravity is pushing downward and the normal force is pushing upward with exactly the same amount of force. Since they are equal and opposite forces, the book does not move.

Unbalanced forces exist when there are unequal forces acting upon the object, which leads to a change in the state of motion. Unbalanced forces can lead to a change in direction, a change in speed, or both a change in direction and in speed.

A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2$

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N$

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase

A truck moving at 13.3 m/s hits a concrete wall. As a result of the collision, a 6-kg wrench moves forwards and strikes the wall

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the wrench must be equal to the velocity of the truck . So momentum of the wrench before it hits the wall

= mv = 6 x 13.3 = 79.8 kg m /s

If resisting force of wall be F , impulse on the wrench = F x time

= F x .07

Impulse = change in momentum of the wrench = mv - 0 = mv = 79.8 kgm/s

So F x .07 = 79.8

F = 1140 N .

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

e. All of these.

Explanation:

The skin in humans ranges from darkest to the lightest color, as a result of genetic makeup, exposure to the sun rays, skin pigmentation may be either due to the evolutionary process of natural selection, and it may be due to the biochemical effects of the UV rays.

As the pigment in the skin of humans is affected by the content of melanin in the body that causes the determination of skins cells of the darker colored humans, and the light skin is determined by the bluish-white tissues under the dermis and the hemoglobin.

The emergence of skin pigments dates back to 1.2 billion years ago. When the harsh climatic conditions drove the early humans into arid and open landscapes. In general, the people living near to equator have darkly pigmented than those living in poles are lightly pigmented.

A force of 44 N will stretch a rubber band 88 cm (0.080.08 m). Assuming that Hooke's law applies, how far will aa 11-N forc

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The rubber band will be stretched 0.02 m.

The work done in stretching is 0.11 J.

Explanation:

Force 1 = 44 N

extension of rubber band = 0.080 m

Force 2 = 11 N

extension = ?

According to Hooke's Law, force applied is proportional to the extension provided elastic limit is not extended.

F = ke

where k = constant of elasticity

e = extension of the material

F = force applied.

For the first case,

44 = 0.080K

K = 44/0.080 = 550 N/m

For the second situation involving the same rubber band

Force = 11 N

e = 550 N/m

11 = 550e

extension e = 11/550 = 0.02 m

The work done to stretch the rubber band this far is equal to the potential energy stored within the rubber due to the stretch. This is in line with energy conservation.

potential energy stored = $\frac{1}{2}ke^{2}$

==> $\frac{1}{2}* 550* 0.02^{2}$ = 0.11 J
