The sum of all forces on an object is called the "net" force on it.

For an object at rest, we call that sum of forces "zero".

Answer:

Sum of these forces is called net force.

Explanation:

An object is placed on the surface of Earth. The forces acting on it are normal force and the gravitational force. The gravitational force is given by :

W = F = mg

g is the acceleration due to gravity

m is the mass of the object

A force that act on the object to balance the gravitational force is called the normal force. The net force is the vector combination of all the forces acting on the object. So, the sum of these forces is called net force.

What is the internal resistance of a 12.0 V car battery whose terminal voltage drops to 8.2 V when the starter draws 75 A
jonny [76]

Answer:

The internal resistance of the cell is 0.051 ohm.

Explanation:

Given;

emf of the battery, E = 12 V

terminal voltage of the cell, V = 8.2 V

current in the circuit, I = 75 A

let the potential drop of the cell due to internal resistance (r) = Ir

The internal resistance of the cell is calculated from the equation below;

E = V + Ir

where;

r is the internal resistance of the cell

Ir = E - V\\\\r = \frac{E-V}{I} \\\\r = \frac{12-8.2}{75} \\\\r = 0.051 \ ohm

Therefore, the internal resistance of the cell is 0.051 ohm.

A birdcage with mass 22.5kg at rest on a living room floor is acted on by a net horizontal force of
patriot [66]

m = mass of the birdcage = 22.5 kg

F = net force acting on birdcage to move it = 140 N

a = acceleration produced due to the force applied

a)

Using newton's second law

a = F/m

inserting the values

a = 140/22.5

a = 6.22 m/s²


b)

t = time of travel of crate = 10.5 s

v₀ = initial velocity of the crate = 0 m/s

X = displacement of the crate

displacement of the crate is given as

X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

X = 0 (10.5) + (0.5) (6.22) (10.5)²

X = 342.88 m
