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.

Two objects (42.0 and 21.0 kg) are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. The pulley h
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

a = 3.27 m/s²

T = 275 N

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass m₁ = 42.p0 kg

Mass m₂ = 21.0 kg

Consider both masses to be in a whole system, then:

The acceleration can be determined as:

(m_1+m_2)a = g(m_1-m_2)

Making acceleration the subject in the above formula;

a =\dfrac{g(m_1-m_2)}{(m_1+m_2)}

a =\dfrac{9.8(42.0-21.0)}{(42.0+21.0)}

a =\dfrac{9.8(21.0)}{(63.0)}

a =\dfrac{205.8}{(63.0)}

a = 3.27 m/s²

in the string, the tension is calculated using the formula:

T = \dfrac{2m_1m_2g}{(m_1+m_2)}

T = \dfrac{2(42)(21)(9.81)}{(42+21)}

T = \dfrac{17304.84}{63}

T = 274.68 N

T ≅ 275 N

A football is kicked from the ground with a speed of 16.71 m/s at an angle of 49.21 degrees. What is the vertical component of t
Svetllana [295]

If a football is kicked from the ground with a speed of 16.71 m/s at an angle of 49.21 degrees, then the vertical component of the initial velocity would be 12.65 m/s

<h3>What is Velocity?</h3>

The total displacement covered by any object per unit of time is known as velocity. It depends on the magnitude as well as the direction of the moving object. The unit of velocity is meter/second.

As given in the problem A football is kicked from the ground with a speed of 16.71 m/s at an angle of 49.21 degrees

The horizontal component of the velocity is given by

Vx = Vcosθ

The vertical component of the velocity is given by

Vy = Vsinθ

As we have to find the vertical component of the velocity given that speed of 16.71 m/s at an angle of 49.21 degrees from the ground

Vy = 16.71 × sin49.21°

Vy = 12.65 m/s

Thus, the vertical component of the velocity would be 12.65 m/s

Newton’s Second Law of motion defines force in terms of mass and acceleration, F= ma. Which of the following is false? The term
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The forces creating the net force must lie in the same direction.

Explanation:

newton's second law states that the net force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and the acceleration of the body.

If there are several forces acting on the body in different directions, then we have to find teh net force by using the vector sum and then find the acceleration.

It is not necessary that all the forces acting in the same direction.

if they are in different directions then we have to find the net force by t=using the formula for the vector sum.
