Define force and state it's si unit​

Physics
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Force is defined as the push or pull on a body which changes or tends to change the state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line.

The SI unit of force is Newton (N)

<h3>Further more information:</h3>

Simply, pull or push is called force. A book lying on the table continues to lie on the table unless and external force is applied in it. So, Generally force is an external agency which changes or tends to change the state of rest to motion or vice versa. The SI unit of force is Newton. In CGS system, the unit of force is dyne.

1 Newton:{10}^{5} dyne

<h3><u>Force </u><u>acting</u><u> </u><u>on</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>body</u><u> </u><u>can</u><u> </u><u>do </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>followi</u><u>ng</u><u> </u><u>things</u><u>:</u></h3>
  • It can change the speed of the body.
  • It can change the direction of motion of body.
  • It can change the shape of the body.
  • It can change the position of the body.

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

If the displacement of a horizontal mass-spring system was doubled, the elastic potential energy in the system would change by a
bixtya [17]

Answer:

K'=4K

Explanation:

The electric potential energy is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

Where

k is spring constant

x is compression or extension in the spring

If the displacement of a horizontal mass-spring system is doubled, x'= 2x

New elastic potential energy :

E'=\dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2\\\\E'=\dfrac{1}{2}k(2x)^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}k\times 4x^2\\\\K'=4\times \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\K'=4K

So, new elastic potential energy 4 times the initial elastic potential energy.

If the radius of a coinis 20cm, find its<br>surface area -​
meriva

Answer:

800\picm²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

radius of the coin  = 20cm

Unknown:

Surface area of the coin  = ?

Solution:

A coin is made up of two faces;

  Surface area  = 2(πr²)

Insert the parameters and solve;

     Surface area = 2(\pi  x 20^{2})

    Surface area = 800\picm²

A block of gelatin is 120mm by 120mm by 40mm whrn unstressed. A force of 49N is applied tangentially to the upper surface causin
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The shearing stress is 10208.3333 Pa

The shearing strain is 0.25

The shear modulus is 40833.3332 Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Block of gelatin of 120 mm x 120 mm by 40 mm

F = force = 49 N

Displacement = 10 mm

Questions: Find the shear modulus, Sm = ?, shearing stress, Ss = ?, shearing strain​, SS = ?

The shearing stress is defined as the force applied to the block over the projected area, first, it is necessary to calculate the area:

A = 40*120 = 4800 mm² = 0.0048 m²

The shearing stress:

Ss=\frac{F}{A} =\frac{49}{0.0048} =10208.3333Pa

The shearing strain is defined as the tangent of the displacement that the block over its length:

SS=tan\theta =\frac{Displacement}{L}  =\frac{10}{40} =0.25

Finally, the shear modulus is the division of the shearing stress over the shearing strain:

Sm=\frac{10208.3333}{0.25} =40833.3332Pa

A bullet is fired with a muzzle velocity of 1178 ft/sec from a gun aimed at an angle of 26° above the horizontal. Find the horiz
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1058.78 ft/sec

Explanation:

Horizontal Component of Velocity; This is the velocity of a body that act on the horizontal axis. I.e Velocity along x-axis

The horizontal velocity of a body can be calculated as shown below.\

Vh = Vcos∅.......................... Equation 1

Where Vh = horizontal component of the velocity, V = The velocity acting between the horizontal and the vertical axis, ∅ = Angle the velocity make with the horizontal.

Given: V = 1178 ft/sec, ∅ = 26°

Substitute into equation 1

Vh = 1178cos26

Vh = 1178(0.8988)

Vh = 1058.78 ft/sec

Hence the horizontal component of the velocity = 1058.78 ft/sec
