How can we tell when forces are acting on an object (science)

Physics

iren [92.7K]3 years ago

If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,
then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of
these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be <em><u>a group</u></em> of forces (two or more) acting on
an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced".  When
that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed
is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line.  In that case, it's not
possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it.

If a builder of mass 75kg climbs a vertical ladder of 25m how much energy has she gained ?
erica [24]
So,

GPE (graviational potential energy) = mass x g x height

GPE is depends on where zero height is defined.  In this situation, we define h = 0 as the initial height.

GPE = 75 \ kg*9.8 \ \frac{m}{s^2}*25 \ m

GPE = 18,375 \frac{kg*m^2}{s^2}

GPE = 18,375 \ joules(J) \ or \ 18.375 \ kilojoules(kJ)

The builder has gained 18.375 kJ of PE.

A cadillac escalade has a mass of 2 569.6 kg, if it accelerate at 4.65m/s2 what is the net force of the car
anygoal [31]
Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration, therefore 
F=ma
m=2569.6 kg
a=4.65m/s^2
therefore F=2569.6*4.65=11948.6 (correct to 1 d.p.)

An unknown material, m1 = 0.45 kg, at a temperature of T1 = 91 degrees C is added to a Dewer (an insulated container) which cont
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the specific heat of material be s

heat lost by material = m₁ s (T 1 - T ) ,  (T 1 - T ) is fall in temp , m₁ is mass of material

= .45 x s x (91 - 31.4 )

= 26.82 s

Heat gained by water

= m₂ cw (T2 - T )

1.3 x 4186 x ( 31.4 - 23 )

heat lost = heat gained

m₂ cw (T2 - T ) = m₁ s (T 1 - T )

1.3 x 4186 x ( 31.4 - 23 ) =  .45 x s x (91 - 31.4 )

45711.12 = 26.82 s

s = 1704.36

A 1200 kg car collides with a 160 kg deer (don't worry, the deer survives and goes on to cause several more car crashes). The co
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

18.75

Explanation:

p=mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity. For the car:

p=1200*2.5=3000

For the deer:

3000=160*v

v=18.75m/s

Hope this helps!
