Which statement is true of an object in equilibrium?

Physics
2 answers:
stepan [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. The sum of all forces acting on the object is zero.

Explanation: Any body can be in state of equilibrium when sum of all the forces acting on the body are zero. State of equilibrium is also called as the state of balance. Equilibrium can be static equilibrium (when body is at rest), transitional equilibrium (when no linear motion) and rotational equilibrium (when no circular motion).

Answer:

C

Explanation:

An equilibrium is when all forces are the same or canceled out. So it would have to be c.

A fairground ride spins its occupants inside a flying saucer-shaped container. If the horizontal circular path the riders follow
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

a)\omega=1.36rad/s

b)\omega=12.99rpm

c)F=705.6N

Explanation:

a) The angular velocity is related to the centripetal acceleration by the formula a_{cp}=\omega^2r, which for our purposes we will write as:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a_{cp}}{r}}

Since <em>we want this acceleration to be 1.5 times that due to gravity</em>, for our values we will have:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{1.5g}{r}}=\sqrt{\frac{(1.5)(9.8m/s^2)}{(8m)}}=1.36rad/s

b) 1 rpm (revolution per minute) is equivalent to an angle of 2\pi radians in 60 seconds:

1\ rpm=\frac{2\pi rad}{60s} =\frac{\pi}{30}rad/s

Which means <em>we can use the conversion factor</em>:

\frac{1\ rpm}{\frac{\pi}{30}rad/s}=1

So we have (multiplying by the conversion factor, which is 1, not affecting anything but transforming our units):

\omega=1.36rad/s=1.36rad/s(\frac{1\ rpm}{\frac{\pi}{30}rad/s})=12.99rpm

c) The centripetal force will be given by Newton's 2nd Law F=ma, so on the centripetal direction for our values we have:

F=ma=(48kg)(1.5)(9.8m/s^2)=705.6N

Aunt Mary needs to hang a picture in her bedroom. She uses a hammer to drive the nail into the wall. Find the force exerted by t
Cerrena [4.2K]

t = time of contact of hammer with the nail = 0.4 sec

I = impulse exerted by the hammer on the nail = 32 N s

F = force applied by the hammer on the nail

we know that , impulse is given as

I = F t                  where I = impulse , F = force , t = time

hence the impulse of hammer on nail is given as

I = F t

inserting the values

32 Ns = F (0.4 sec)

F = 32/0.4

F = 80 N

hence the force exerted by the hammer comes out to be 80 N
