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.

Why would an egg break immediately when it hits the ground?

Elza [17]

As an egg falls towards the floor, it begins to travel faster and faster. When it slams into the floor, the egg is stopped almost immediately. This force of the floor against the eggshell is too large, so it breaks.

Answer:

$v_0 = 3.53~{\rm m/s}$

Explanation:

This is a projectile motion problem. We will first separate the motion into x- and y-components, apply the equations of kinematics separately, then we will combine them to find the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is in the x-direction, and there is no acceleration in the x-direction.

On the other hand, there no initial velocity in the y-component, so the arrow is basically in free-fall.

Applying the equations of kinematics in the x-direction gives

$x - x_0 = v_{x_0} t + \frac{1}{2}a_x t^2\\63 \times 10^{-3} = v_0t + 0\\t = \frac{63\times 10^{-3}}{v_0}$
