"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way. 

-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down.  It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.

-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move.  The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.

-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her.  If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.

From these examples, you can see a few things:

-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.

-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.

-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.

Because the way it's being set down on . It's like newtons law, what stays at rest stays unless an outside force does something.

You drop a ball from a height of 2.0 m, and it bounces back to a height of 1.5 m. (a) what fraction of its initial energy is los
Scilla [17]

a) At a position of 2.0m, the Initial energy is all made up of the potential energy=m*g*hi<span>
and meanwhile at 1.5 all its energy is also potential energy=m*g*hf 

The percentage of energy remaining is E=m*g*hi/m*g*hf x 100 

and since mass and gravity are constant so it leaves us with just E=hi/hf 
which 1.5/2.0 x100= 75% so we see that we lost 25% of the energy or 0.25 in fraction 

b) Here use the equation vf^2=vi^2+2gd 

<span>where g is gravity, vf is the final velocity and vi is the initial velocity while d is the distance travelled

so in here we are looking for the vi so let us isolate that variable 
we know that at maximum height or peak, the velocity is 0 so vf is 0 

therefore,</span></span>

vi =sqrt(-2gd) <span>
vi =sqrt(-2x-9.81x1.5) </span>
<span>vi =5.4 m/s

<span>c) The energy was converted to heat due to friction with the air and the ground.</span></span>

Eric has a mass of 70 . He is standing on a scale in an elevator that is accelerating downward at 1.7 . What is the approximate
pychu [463]

Answer:

B)

Explanation:

The value the scale shows is the reaction force to the normal force (they are equal by Newton's 3rd Law) that the scale exerts on Eric.

The forces on Eric are his weight (downward) and this normal force (upward), so we can write the net force over him as (also using Newton's 2nd Law):

F=W-N=ma

which means

N=W-ma=mg-ma=m(g-a)

and for our values this is:

N=mg-ma=(70kg)(9.8m/s^2-1.7m/s^2)=567N

A stone of mass 5g is projected with a rubber catapult. if the catapult is stretched through a distance of 7cm by an average for
weqwewe [10]

Explanation:

solution: mass m = 5g = 0.005kg; extension e = 7cm = 0.07m; force f = 70 N; velocity = ?; using: work done in elastic material w = 1/2 fe = 1/2 ke2 = 1/2 mv2 - the kinetic energy of the moving stone. 1/2 fe =...

Liquid can flow but solid cannot give reason ​
Airida [17]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>well..</em>

<em>Explana</em><em>tion</em><em>:</em>

<em>L</em><em>iquid</em><em> can flow but solid cannot because of differences in their properties</em>

<em>property of liquid which lets it flow:</em>

  • <em>i</em><em>nter-particular</em><em> space is large</em>
  • <em>inter-particular attraction is small</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>hese</em><em> properties tend to make the molecules of liquid free to flow</em><em> </em>

<em>property</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>solid</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>tends</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>obstruct</em><em> </em><em>flow</em><em>:</em>

  • <em>inter-particular</em><em> </em><em>spa</em><em>c</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>small</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>it's </em><em>compac</em><em>t</em>
  • <em>inter-molecular</em><em> </em><em>attra</em><em>ction</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>strong</em><em> </em><em>hence</em><em> </em><em>no</em><em> </em><em>tenden</em><em>cy</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>flow</em>
