What is the net force on a ball that falls downward?

1 answer:

6 0

There's no way to tell without knowing the downward acceleration of the ball.

For example, if it's falling at a constant speed, then the net vertical force on it is zero, and we still don't know anything about the net horizontal force.

Three dogs (Spot, Fido, and Steinberg) are pulling on a chew toy. The chew toy is experiencing no acceleration. Spot is pulling

quester [9]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the force applied by Steinberg are approximately 15.192 newtons and 126.704º.

Explanation:

The chew toy is at equilibrium and experimenting three forces from three distinct dogs. The Free Body Diagram depicting the system is attached below. By Newton's Laws we construct the following equations of equilibrium: (Sp is for Spot, F is for Fido and St is for Steinberg) All forces and angles are measured in newtons and sexagesimal degrees, respectively:

$\Sigma F_{x} = F_{F}\cdot \cos \theta_{F} + F_{St,x} = 0$ (1)

$\Sigma F_{y} = F_{F}\cdot \sin \theta_{F}-F_{Sp}+F_{St,y} = 0$ (2)

If we know that $F_{F} = 20\,N$ , $F_{Sp} = 30\,N$ and $\theta_{F} = 63^{\circ}$ , then the components of the force done by Steinberg on the chewing toy is:

$F_{St,x} = -F_{F}\cdot \cos \theta_{F}$

$F_{St,x} = -(20\,N)\cdot \cos 63^{\circ}$

$F_{St, x} = -9.080\,N$

$F_{St,y} = F_{Sp}-F_{F}\cdot \sin \theta_{F}$

$F_{St,y} = 30\,N-(20\,N)\cdot \sin 63^{\circ}$

$F_{St, y} = 12.180\,N$

The magnitud of the force is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$F_{St} = \sqrt{F_{St,x}^{2}+F_{St,y}^{2}}$

$F_{St} =\sqrt{(-9.080\,N)^{2}+(12.180\,N)^{2}}$

$F_{St} \approx 15.192\,N$

Since the direction of this force is in the 3rd Quadrant on Cartesian plane, we determine the direction of the force with respect to the eastern semiaxis:

$\theta_{St} = 180^{\circ} + \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{F_{St,y}}{F_{St,x}}\right)$

$\theta_{St} = 180^{\circ} + \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{12.180\,N}{-9.080\,N}\right)$

$\theta_{St} \approx 126.704^{\circ}$

The magnitude and direction of the force applied by Steinberg are approximately 15.192 newtons and 126.704º.

You stare at a bright red screen for so long that your red cones become saturated and no longer function. The red screen is then

adell [148]

Answer: you'll see cyan color on the screen

Explanation:

Saturating the red cone causes them to stop functioning, hence you can't perceive the red part of white light. White light is made up of three main colors which are blue, red and green. When one can no longer perceive the red part of light, one is left with the grean and blue part. The green and blue part of light will superimpose to give a cyan color.

A child kicks a ball horizontally with a speed of 4.8 m/s off a deck 3.5 m off the ground. How far, in meters, from the deck doe

Vesna [10]

Answer:

2.605m

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Range (distance travelled in horizontal direction)

Range R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 4.8m/s

H is the maximum height = ?

g is the acc due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

R = 3.5m

Substitute into the formula and get H

3.5 = 4.8√2H/9.8

3.5/4.8 = √2H/9.8

0.7292 = √2H/9.8

square both sides

0.7292² = 2H/9.8

2H = 0.7292² * 9.8

2H = 5.21

H = 5.21/2

H = 2.605m

Hence the height of the ball from the ground is 2.605m
