Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.

Jeff is a landscaping contractor and lifts a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging a board under the rock. Jeff weighs 150 pounds
jonny [76]

Answer: 4

The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force exerted  by the object to the force applied to do work on it.

Here, Jeff tried to lift a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging board under the rock. Jeff who weighs 150 pounds uses all his weight to exert force on lever and lift rock.

Mechanical advantage, M.A.=\frac{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}rock}{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}Jeff}=\frac{600 pounds}{150 pounds}=4.

Therefore, the mechanical advantage that lever provided to Jeff in lifting rock is 4.

A satellite is in a circular orbit around an unknown planet. The satellite has a speed of 1.75 104 m/s, and the radius of the or
Arisa [49]

Answer:

v = 1.32 10² m

Explanation:

In this case we are going to use the universal gravitation equation and Newton's second law

    F = G m M / r²

    F = m a

In this case the acceleration is centripetal

    a = v² / r

The force is given by the gravitational force

    G m M / r² = m v² / r

    G  M/r =  v²

Let's calculate the mass of the planet

    M = v² r / G

    M = (1.75 10⁴)² 5.00 10⁶ / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

    M = 2.30 10²¹ kg

With this die we clear the equation to find the orbit of the second satellite

    v = √ G M / r

    v = √ (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 2.30 10²¹ / 8.75 10⁶)

    v = 1.32 10² m

A balloon that has been rubbed on wool has a negative charge. When the balloon is held over—but not touching—some bits of paper,
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

This process is known as static electricity

Explanation:

When balloon is rubbed on the wool , a negative charge is usually formed. When the balloon is then held over—but not touching—some bits of paper, some of the bits jump up to the balloon. The bits which jump up to the balloon are positive charged and we know that unlike charges attract.

This process explains static electricity which is when the charges on a material are not in a balanced state.
