If I remember correctly, it is a state an object is in when no force is acting on it or when there is equal amount of force in each direction is being applied to it. Basically, either the object is motionless or is traveling at a constant velocity, there is no acceleration.

The rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.

Equilibrium is reached when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are the same.

Explanation A 5000 kg rocket is at rest in deep space. The rocket burns fuel pushing 10kg of exhaust gases rearward at 4000 m/s.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

F = 4000 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of rocket (M)= 5000 Kg

10 Kg gas burns at speed (m)= 4000 m/s

time = 10 s

average force = ?

at the end the rocket is at rest

by conservation of momentum

 M v + m v' = 0

 5000 x v - 10 x 4000 = 0

 5000 v = 40000

    v = 8 m/s

speed of rocket = 8 m/s

now,

we know

change in momentum = F x Δ t

F = \dfrac{m(v_i-v_f)}{\Delta t}

F = \dfrac{5000(8-0)}{10}

      F = 4000 N

Hence, the average force applied to the rocket is equal to F = 4000 N

You are standing in a building whose height (40m) you throw a ball downward at a angle of -30 at a speed of (10m/s) acceleration
jeyben [28]

Answer: 3.41 s

Explanation:

Assuming the question is to find the time t the ball is in air, we can use the following equation:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y=0m is the final height of the ball

y_{o}=40 m is the initial height of the ball

V_{o}=10 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball

t is the time the ball is in air

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity  

\theta=30\°

Then:

0 m=40 m+(10 m/s)(sin(30\°))t-\frac{1}{2}9.8 m/s^{2}t^{2}

0 m=40 m+5m/s t-4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}

Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1 and rearranging:

4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}-5m/s t-40 m=0

At this point we have a quadratic equation of the form at^{2}+bt+c=0, which can be solved with the following formula:

t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

Where:

a=4.9

b=-5

c=-40

Substituting the known values:

t=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(4.9)(-40)}}{2(4.9)}

Solving the equation and choosing the positive result we have:

t=3.41 s  This is the time the ball is in air

What is an Amplitude
dangina [55]

Amplitude is a measurement of the magnitude of displacement (or maximum disturbance) of a medium from its resting state, as diagramed in the peak deviation example below (it can also be a measurement of an electrical signal's increased or decreased strength above or below a nominal state).

A common misconception is that an object always moves when a force acts on it. Why is this statement incorrect? Explain the conc
dsp73

Answer:

The statement is incorrect because, a force acting on an object does not necessarily have to produce motion.

People have the misconception that when a force acts on an object it always produces motion

Explanation:

The statement is incorrect because, a force acting on an object does not necessarily have to produce motion. It could be in static equilibrium where the net force is zero and produces not motion. The body could also be in dynamic equilibrium when  no net force acts on it moving at a constant velocity. But here we are concerned with static equilibrium since the body does not move at all.

People have the misconception that when a force acts on an object it always produces motion and, we have seen from the above tat its not always true.
