How do you know that forces are balanced when static friction acts on an object?

1 answer:

6 0

By looking at the acceleration of the object.
In fact, Netwon's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass m of the object and its acceleration:
$\sum F = ma$

So, when static friction is acting on the object, if the object is still not moving we know that all the forces are balanced: in fact, since the object is stationary, its acceleration is zero, and so the resultant of the forces (left term in the formula) must be zero as well (i.e. the forces are balanced).

<span>AS T1,T2,T3 are the tensions in the ropes,assuming that there are Three blocks of mass 3m, 2m, and m.T3 is the string between 3m and 2m,T2 is the string between 2m and m ,T1 is the string attached to m thus T1 pulls the whole set of blocks along, so it must be the largest. T2 pulls the last two masses, but T3 only pulls the last mass, so T3 < T2 < T1.</span>

Help!

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

1.It's the world's most famous equation, but what does it really mean? "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing.

2.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.

3.In nuclear reactions, mass is never conserved—some mass is exchanged for energy and energy for mass. Nuclear reactions take place in an atom's nucleus. In a spontaneous nuclear reaction, such as radioactive decay, mass is "lost" and appears as energy in the form of particles or gamma rays.

4.In a nuclear reaction, mass decreases and energy increases. The sum of mass and energy is always conserved in a nuclear reaction.

5.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.

two circular loops of wire, each containing a single turn, have the same radius of 4.0 cm and a common center. the planes of the

REY [17]

The magnetic field at center of circular loops of wire is 3.78 x 10¯⁵ T.

We need to know about the magnetic field at the center of circular loops of wire to solve this problem. The magnetic field at the center can be determined as

B = μ₀ . I / 2r

where B is magnetic field, μ₀ is vacuum permeability (4π×10¯⁷ H/m), I is the current and r is radius.

From the question above, we know that:

r = 4 cm = 0.04 m

I = 1.7 A

By substituting the parameter, we get

B = μ₀ . I / 2r

B = 4π×10¯⁷ . 1.7 / (2.0.04)

B = 2.67 x 10¯⁵ T

Due to the perpendicular plane of loops, the total magnetic field at center will be

Btotal = √(2(B²))

Btotal = √(2(2.67 x 10¯⁵²))

Btotal = 3.78 x 10¯⁵ T

What equation describes conservation of charge?

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The equation which describes conservation of charge is $Q_{initial} - Q_{final } = 0$

Explanation:

The law of conservation charge states that for an isolated system that sum of initial charges is equal to sum of final charges, that is the total charge is conserved.

let the sum of initial charges = $Q_{initial}$
