Answer:

The force of gravity is acting on the acorn.

A frictional drag force is acting on the acorn.

The net force on the acorn is less than the force of gravity.

Explanation:

The force of gravity is acting on the acorn is in vertically downwards direction.

A frictional drag force is acting on the acorn is in vertically upwards direction.

The net force on the acorn is given by

Net force = Force of gravity - Frictional drag force

It is always less than the force of gravity.

A tray is moved horizontally back and forth in simple harmonic motion at a frequency of f = 2.07 Hz. On this tray is an empty cu

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of SHM is $f=2.07\ Hz$

Amplitude of SHM is $A=3.13\ cm$

Cup begins to slip when it overcomes the friction force

Friction force $F_s=\mu mg$

Applied force $F=ma$

$ma=\mu mg$

$a=\mu g$

and maximum acceleration during SHM is

$a=A\omega ^2$

$a=A(2\pi f)^2$

$a=3.13\times 10^{-2}\times (2\pi 2.07)^2$

$a=5.296\ m/s^2$

$\mu =\frac{a}{g}$

$\mu =\frac{5.296}{9.8}=0.54$

Find the angle formed by two forces of 7N and 15N respectively if its result is worth 20N

nadezda [96]

First, you need to make certain assumptions before solving this question. Why? Because there are no information given about the direction of these forces. In such questions as above, ALWAYS make the following assumptions:

1) Take first force, say $F_{1}$ , and assume that it is pointing towards the x-direction.

Let us take the 7N force! By keeping the above assumption in our minds, the force vector would be like:
$F_{1}$ = $7i$ , where $i$ = Unit vector in the x-direction.

2) Take the second force, say $F_{2}$ , and assume that it is making an angle $\alpha$ with the first force $F_{1}$ .

Let us take the 15N force! By keeping the above assumption in our minds, the forces vector would be like:

$F_{2} = (15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j$

Now from simple vector addition, we know that,
$F_{R} = F_{1} + F_{2}$ --- (A)

Where $F_{R}$ = Resultant vector.
NOTE: In equation (A), all forces are in vector notation. Assume that there is an arrow head on top of them.

Let us find $F_{1}+F_{2}$ first!
$F_{1}+F_{2}$ =   $7i+(15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j$

=> $F_{1}+F_{2}$ =   $(7+15*cos \alpha)i + (15*sin \alpha )j$

Now the magnitude of $F_{1}+F_{2}$ is,
| $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = $\sqrt{ (7+ 15*cos \alpha)^{2} + (15*sin \alpha )^{2}}$

=> | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = $\sqrt{ 49 + 225*(cos \alpha)^{2} + 210*(cos \alpha)+ 255*(sin \alpha )^{2}}$

Since $(sin \alpha)^{2} + (cos \alpha)^{2} = 1$ , therefore,

=> | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = $\sqrt{ 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)}$

Since  | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ | = | $F_{R}$ |, and the magnitude of the resultant force is 20N, therefore,

| $F_{R}$ | = | $F_{1}+F_{2}$ |
20 = $\sqrt{ 49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)}$

Take square on both sides,
400 = $49 + 225 + 210*(cos \alpha)$
$(cos \alpha) = \frac{3}{5}$

$\alpha = 53.13^{o}$

Ans: Angle formed by the two forces, 7N and 15N, is: 53.13°

What do scientists theorize about the origins of the Moon? Choose the most accepted explanation.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

What is most widely accepted today is a the giant-impact theory. It proposes that the Moon formed during a collision between the Earth and another small planet, about the size of Mars. The debris from this impact collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon.
