Why do objects in equilibrium have a net force of 0?

Physics
1 answer:
lianna [129]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Because there is no net force acting o an object in equilibrium.

Explanation:

When object is in equilibrium (either at rest or moving with constant velocity, the net force acting o it is zero.A vector can only have zero magnitude fall of its components are zero this means that all forces acting on the object are balanced.

The diagram shows the top view of a 65-kg student at point A on an amusement park ride. The ride spins the student in a horizont
Elza [17]

Answer:

1923 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 65 Kg

Radius (r) = 2.5 m

Velocity (v) = 8.6 m/s

Centripetal force (F) =?

The centripetal force, F, can be obtained by using the following formula:

F = mv²/r

F = 65 × 8.6² / 2.5

F = 65 × 73.96 / 2.5

F = 4807.4 / 2.5

F = 1922.96 ≈ 1923 N

Thus, the magnitude of the centripetal's force acting on the student is approximately 1923 N

Blizzard [7]
We can approach this in another way.
We know that sin(∅) = height / hypotenuse.

Thus, for x, height is 1 and hypotenuse is 3. Using Pythagoras theorem,
3² = 1² + b²
b = √8
cos(x) = b/hypotenuse
cos(x) = √8 / 3

Now, lets consider y:
sec(y) = 1 / cos(y) = 1 / base / hypotenuse = hypotenuse / base
The hypotenuse is 25 and the base is 24. We again apply Pythagoras theorem to find the third side, which works out to be:
height = 7
sin(y) = height / hypotenuse
sin(y) = 7/25

Now, sin(x + y) =
sin(x)cos(y) + sin(y)cos(x)
= (1/3)(24/25) + (√8 / 3)(7/25)
= 8/25 + 7√8/75
= (24 + 14√2) / 75

A child is riding in a wagon. What reference frame might have been used if an observer said the child was not moving.
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

the wagon should be used as frame of reference if an observer said the child was not moving.

Explanation:

The state of motion of a body depends upon the frame of reference. It is the set of co-ordinates according to which the motion is analyzed. If a child is riding in a wagon, then he will be considered in motion to a person standing outside the wagon. Hence, if we take a frame of reference outside the wagon then the child must be in motion with respect to the observer. On the other hand if the observer is inside the wagon, then the child must be in rest with respect to the observer. Hence, if we take the wagon to be the frame of reference, then the child will be at rest with respect to the observer.

<u>Therefore, the wagon should be used as frame of reference if an observer said the child was not moving.</u>
