Answer:
b) The downward force of gravity
Explanation:
The gravity force has the biggest influence on the deceleration of the ball because no matter how much force you applied on the ball, it will eventually go down again, according to newton's second law:
right after you throw the ball, only the force exerted by the gravity will affect the ball (neglecting air resistance):
so the object will eventually be going down again.
Answer:
Q = +1.4 pC
Explanation:
1) 12.5 N east
There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:
- The applied force of 15 N east, we indicate it with F
- The force of friction of 2.5 N west, we indicate it with
Taking east as positive direction, we can write the two forces has
Therefore, the net force on the box will be:
And the positive sign means the direction is east.
2)
We can solve this part by using Newton's second law:
where
is the net force on the box
m is its mass
a is the acceleration
For the box in this problem,
(east)
m = 5.0 kg
Solving for a, we find the acceleration:
And the direction is the same as the net force (east)
