Describe an object’s motion when balanced forces act on it

Physics

Ugo [173]3 years ago

When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the 'net' force on the object is zero, and it has no acceleration.

That means it continues moving in a straight line and at a constant speed (which may be zero).

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal

Then the magnitude of the net force is the difference between the two forces,
and its direction is the same as the direction of the greater one.

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

L_i = L_f

so:

I_mW_m = I_sW_f

where I_m is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, W_m is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, I_s is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and W_f is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where M_m is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2\pi rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2

I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2

I_s = 506.25kg*m^2

Finally we replace all the data:

(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f

Solving for W_f:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

Why is oxygen more chemically reactive than nitrogen?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

O2 has two more electrons compared to N2, with extra 2 electrons in the higher energy anti-bonding orbitals known as Diradical. These electrons have higher energy and are unpaired; therefore, O2 is more reactive
