When asked to name all the forces on a marker sitting in equilibrium on a desk, a student responds: “Since the marker on the des

k is at rest, there are no forces
acting on it.” Why is this wrong? How would you restate it?

Answer:

The forces acting on the pen which is still on the table can have two forces acting on them.  The forces are gravitational force and the equal and opposite force to the gravitational forces.

The equal and opposite forces that is applied on the pen keeps the pen still on the table.

So, the statement that no force is applied on the pen which is kept still on the table is wrong as two forces are applied on the pen.

As both the forces are equal and opposite so it is cancelled and is still.

What is a point of view of an object used to determine another object's motion
Finger [1]
<h2><em>A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. You assume that the reference point is stationary, or not moving.</em></h2>

sdas [7]
We Know, F = m*a
F = 2200 * 3.4
F = 7480 Kg m/s²

So, your final answer is 7480

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.
miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.
