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.

How could you determine the instantaneous speed during a<br> trip?
Fiesta28 [93]
Look at your speedometer for say, a couple of seconds. Depends on whether or not you are moving on average at a constant speed (speedo won't change much) or whether you're in a polluting traffic jam/queue in which case the speedo will go up and down like a yo yo. to determine the speed, you'd probably need to plot the speed on the speedo against the times at which the speedo speeds were read from the speedo.

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista
lions [1.4K]
The answer is 60 mph.

The speed (v) is distance (d) per time (t): v = d/t

Car A:
v1 = ?
t1 = 2 h
d1 = ?
___
v1 = d1/t1
d1 = v1 * t1

Car B:
v2 = ?
t2 = 1.5 h
d2 = ?
___
v2 = d2/t2
d2 = v2 * t2

<span>Two cars traveled equal distances:
d1 = d2
</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

<span>Car B traveled 15 mph faster than Car A:
v2 = v1 + 15


</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
v2 = v1 + 15
________
v1 * 2 = (v1 + 15) * 1.5
2v1 = 1.5v1 + 22.5
2v1 - 1.5v1 = 22.5
0.5v1 = 22.5
v1 = 22.5/0.5
v1 = 45 mph


v2 = v1 + 15
v2 = 45 + 15
v2 = 60 mph
