A 65-N box rest on a perfectly smooth surface. The minimum force needed to start the box moving is

1 answer:

7 0

when you say "perfectly smooth", I understand that to mean there's no friction. If that's true, then ANY net horizontal force acting on the box makes it start moving. (D) Naturally, the greater the force is, the faster the box speeds up. That's because F = m A .

A small object with momentum 7.0 kg∙m/s approaches head-on a large object at rest. The small object bounces straight back with a

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is 3 kilogram-meters per second.

Explanation:

Under the assumption that no external forces are exerted on both the small object and the big object, whose situation is described by the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

$p_{S,1}+p_{B,1} = p_{S,2}+p_{B,2}$ (1)

Where:

$p_{S,1}$ , $p_{S,2}$ - Initial and final momemtums of the small object, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

$p_{B,1}$ , $p_{B,2}$ - Initial and final momentums of the big object, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

If we know that $p_{S,1} = 7\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ , $p_{B,1} = 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ and $p_{S, 2} = 4\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ , then the final momentum of the big object is:

$7\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} + 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} = 4\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}+p_{B,2}$

$p_{B,2} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is:

$p_{B,2}-p_{B,1} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}-0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$

$p_{B,2}-p_{B,1} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is 3 kilogram-meters per second.

Andrew kicks a ball along a straight path. The ball rolls straight forward for 13.2 meters. Then Andrew kicks the ball straight

tresset_1 [31]

Answer: 22.7 meters

Explanation: The distance traveled is how much the ball has rolled in total, this means the lenght of the path that it has followed from begining to end.

Since it first travels 13.2 meters and then 9.5 meters, if we sum this quantities:

13.2 + 9.5 = 22.7 meters

So 22.7 is the distance that the ball has traveled.

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.

Which term is defined by the force that moving, charged particles exert on one another?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravity: it is the force that is exerted between any objects with mass. It is the weakest of all forces, so it is only relevant at planetary scales. It is always attractive, and it has an infinite range.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between charged objects and between magnets (it is responsible for electric fields and magnetic fields). It is the 2nd strongest force, and it is the force that holds atoms in a molecule together. It can be attractive or repulsive, and it has an infinite range.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the strongest of all forces. It is responsible for holding the nucleons together inside the nucleus, and it is attractive. It has a very limited range ( $10^{-15}m$ ), so it is relevant only at very small scales

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for radioactive decays and neutrino interactions. It also has a very short range ( $10^{-18} m$

Looking at all these definitions, we see that the term that defines the force that acts between charged particles is the electromagnetic force.
