Name 2 forces acting on an object at rest Only need 1 got gravity

Physics
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]3 years ago
7 0

You mean like a box sitting on a table.

One force is the force of gravity, pulling downward on the box.

Now, you know that the forces acting on the box must be balanced, because
if they're not, then the box would be accelerating.  But it's just sitting there, so
there must be some other force, just exactly the right strength and direction to
exactly cancel the force of gravity on the box, so that the net force on it is zero.

The other force is the force of the table pushing upward on the box.  It's called
the "normal force".

A battery charger is connected to a dead battery and delivers a current of 3.5 a for 4 hours, keeping the voltage across the bat
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The power delivered is equal to the product between the voltage V and the current I:
P=VI=(16 V)(3.5 A)=56 W

This power is delivered for a total time of t=4h=4 \cdot 3600 s = 14400 s, so the total energy delivered to the battery is
E=Pt = (56 W)(14400 s)=806400 J=806.4 kJ

a machine with a mechanical advantage of 2.5 requires an input force of 120 newtons. What output force is applied by this machin
creativ13 [48]
If your machine has a mechanical advantage of 2.5, then WHATEVER force you apply to the input, the force at the output will be 2.5 times as great.

If you apply 1 newton to the machine's input, the output force is

                 (2.5 x 1 newton)  =  2.5 newtons.

If you apply 120 newtons to the machine's input, the output force is

                 (2.5 x 120 newtons)  =  300 newtons.
