What do we mean when we describe forces as balanced?

1 answer:

3 0

Well, first, let's recognize that there is no such thing as a force that is
balanced or unbalanced.

When we say that a group of two or more forces is balanced, we mean
that when you add up all the magnitudes and directions of the forces, the
whole group adds up to zero, so they have the same net effect as if there
were no force at all.

victus00 [196]

The work done is 140.3 J

Explanation:

The work done is defined as the amount of force required or used to move an object over a particular distance. Hence, work done is the product of force in Newton and the distance in which the object moved in meters.
Here, in the question, it is given that there is a frictional force acting on the box by the floor and the distance it moves. Hence, to get the answer to multiply frictional force and the distance. So, will get the work done as 140.3 J.

According to Newton’s second law of motion, what is the force equal to?

marishachu [46]

Newton's second law of motion states the following:

$F=ma$

In which $F$ is the force, $m$ is the mass, and $a$ is the acceleration of the object.

So, the answer is B.

Lucia wants to change the motion map shown so that it shows uniform circular motion.

Annette [7]

This is all related to the centripetal force. Rememeber that In uniform circular motion, velocity changes due to change in direction, eventhough magnitude remains constant. having that in mind we know that <span>She should change the direction of the vectors that are toward the center of the circle so that each points away from the center of the circle.</span>
