How will unbalanced forces affect the speed and direction of an object

azamat

Answer:

Explanation:

Unbalanced forces will result in the presence of acceleration. The formula

F net = ma

says that if there is a net force present and the object in question has a mass, then an acceleration is present. Now acceleration is constant in this situation because nowhere does it say the acceleration is changing. If acceleration is constant then the velocity is increasing at a steady pace (think linear function!).

The direction of the object depends on the direction that the net force is in. If the net force is to the left, then that object will accelerate to the left.

Hope this helps :)

A tortoise can move with a speed of 10.0cm/s, while a rabbit can move 10 times faster. In a race, both of them started at the sa

Xelga [282]

Answer:

C. 199.9 s

Explanation:

3 minutes = 3×60 = 180 seconds.

the turtle moves in that time 180×10 = 1800 cm.

in other words the rabbit gave it that much head-start (it does not matter if that was at the begin of in the middle of the race).

the rabbit moves with 10×10cm/s = 100cm/s.

the rabbit needs therefore 1800/100 = 18 seconds for the

1800 cm.

at that time the turtle has added another 18×10 = 180 cm.

for which the rabbit needs 180/100 = 1.8 seconds.

during that time the turtle has added 1.8×10 = 18 cm.

and so on.

in formal mathematics this looks like this :

1800 + 10x = 100x

after x seconds of the rabbit running both will have run the same distance, and it is a tie.

1800 = 90x

x = 20 seconds

so, at that point, the rabbit was actively running for 20 seconds and raced 20×100 = 2000 cm

and the turtle was actively running for 180 + 20 = 200 seconds, and also covered 200×10 = 2000 cm.

but our question tells us that the turtle won by 10 cm.

so, the race was over a little bit before these 200 seconds (for a tie).

this means, the rabbit could not run the last 10 cm for the tie (because the race was over and the turtle had won).

the rabbit would have needed 10/100 seconds for these 10 cm.

as speed = distance/time

we need to divide distance by speed

distance/1 / distance/time

to get time.

so,

10cm/1 / 100cm/s = 10s/100 = 1/10 s

so, we need to deduct this 1/10 s from the 200 seconds of the turtle (and also from the 20 seconds for the rabbit).

the race lasted of course the whole time the turtle was running (while the rabbit was resting, officially still participating in the race with speed 0 for 3 minutes).

and so, the race was 199.9 s long.

A ball of mass 0.7 kg flies through the air at low speed, so that air resistance is negligible. (a) What is the net force acting

Fed [463]

Answer:

A) Gravitational Force, $F=-6.86N$ .

B) The y component of momentum.

C) The x component of momentum will remain the same.

D)The y component of momentum decreases.

E)The z component of momentum will remain constant.

Explanation:

First, let the x-axis be positive in the same direction as the horizontal speed of the ball, let the y-axis be positive in the opposite direction of gravity.

A) since there is no air resistance, the only force acting on the ball is the gravitational force. This force is downwards so it is negative. The net force is

$F=-9.8*0.7=-6.86N$ .

B)Because the net force (and the only one) is on the y-axis, only the vertical component of the momentum will be changed due to the force.

C)Since there is no resistance of air, the ball behaves as in projectile motion problems, this means that the x component of the velocity remains constant, also does the mass. Remembering that momentum is velocity times mass, it can be easily seen that x component of momentum remains constant too.

D)The y component of momentum decreases, this is because gravity decreases the y component of the velocity.

E)Since there is no z component of the force there is no change in the z component of the momentum.
