Which excerpt are you talking about?
Assuming that the vectors are acting along the same axis, we
could just simply add or subtract the vectors. Since the F1 is greater than F2,
there would be motion, there would be acceleration, and that the direction of
motion is along the F1.
Answer:
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
Explanation:
Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e
M₀ = r x F
From the question,
r = i + j + k
F = 1i + 0j + 5k
Therefore,
M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j + 5k)
M₀ = ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&1&1\\1&0&5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Di%26j%26k%5C%5C1%261%261%5C%5C1%260%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)
M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
Answer:
Gravitational pull
Explanation:
There are four fundamental forces in nature:
- Gravitational force: it is an attractive force exerted between all objects having mass. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged object. It can be either attractive ore repulsive. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
- Strong nuclear force: it is the force responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nuclei of the atoms. It is attractive and acts only on a very short scale.
- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certain nuclear decay processes (radioactivity).
In this problem, landslides occur when certain masses of terrain are attracted towards the ground - they are attracted because of the gravitational force.
So, the correct answer is
gravitational pull
