A boy who exerts a 300-N force on the ice of a skating rink is pulled by his friend with a force of 75 N, causing the boy to acc

elerate across the ice. If drag and the friction from the ice apply a force of 5 N on the boy, what is the magnitude of the net force acting on him?

Answer:

70 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the boy.  There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

A 300 N normal force pushing up,

A 75 N applied force pulling right,

and a 5 N friction force pushing left.

The boy's acceleration in the y direction is 0, so the net force in the y direction is 0.

The net force in the x direction is 75 N − 5 N = 70 N.

LenKa [72]

Answer: The period of the pendulum will increase. Because of less gravity

Explanation:

Since the force of gravity is less on the Moon, the pendulum  would swing slower at the same length and angle and its frequency would be less. Hence more time period will be experienced by the pendulum. On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity g is less when compared to that of the earth.

If you know the amount of air pressure exerted on a tabletop, how can you calculate the force exerted on the tabletop? Multiply
babymother [125]

Answer:

Multiply the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.

Explanation:

The relationship between pressure, force and area is given by:

p=\frac{F}{A}

where in this case, p is the air pressure, F is the force exerted and A the area of the tabletop. By re-arranging the equation, we can solve for F, the force exerted:

p=\frac{F}{A}\\p\cdot A=\frac{F}{A}\cdot A\\pA=F

So, the correct answer is:

The force exerted on the tabletop can be found by multiplying the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.
