What happens when multiple forces act upon an object?

They all combine to affect the object as if there were one single force. It's not hard to calculate the strength and direction of that one equivalent force. It can turn out to be zero. Then the group of several forces is said to be 'balanced'.

The object will move if the forces are unbalanced.

Newtons second tells you that when a net force (the unbalanced force) is applied to and object it will produce an acceleration (movement) in direct proportion to the force and in inverse proportion to the mass of the object.

At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?
Elza [17]

Answer:

At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?

Explanation:

In an elliptical orbit, when a planet is at its furthest point from the Sun, it is under the least amount of gravity, meaning that the force of gravity is strongest when it is closest.

A 28-kg beginning roller skater is standing in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall, she is propelled backward with a ve
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

33.6 Ns backward.

Explanation:

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of force and time. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns.

From Newton's second law of motion,

Impulse = change in momentum

I = mΔv................................. Equation 1

Where I = impulse, m = mass of the skater, Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity.

Given: m = 28 kg, t = 0.8 s, Δv = -1.2-0 = -1.2 m/s (Note: the initial velocity of the skater = 0 m/s)

Substituting into equation 1

I = 28(-1.2)

I = -33.6 Ns

Thus the impulse = 33.6 Ns backward.

How does sound intensity differ from loudness?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Sound intensity is the amount of energy carried by sound versus loudness is a subjective measurement of the audible sound.

Sound intensity is measured in watt per square meter where loudness is measured in sones (sone is a subjective measurement and not an SI unit)

What is meta physics and its importance
artcher [175]

Answer:

Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that studies the fundamental nature of reality, the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, causality, necessity, and possibility.

Explanation:

Just as physics deals with the laws that govern the physical world (such as those of gravity or the properties of waves), metaphysics describes what is beyond physics—the nature and origin of reality itself, the immortal soul, and the existence of a supreme being.
