Answer: Friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object on another surface. For example, when a box is pushed along the floor, the floor exerts a frictional force on the box, "resisting" the motion of the box. This force is due to the contact between the molecules of the box and the molecules of the floor, and it is always directed against the direction of motion of the object (so, if the object is moving forward, friction acts backwards).

The magnitude of the friction force is given by:

F=\mu N

where \mu is the coefficient friction, which is a number that depends on the materials of the two surfaces, and N is the normal reaction.

<em>The force that always acts opposite to the direction of motion of the body is the </em><u><em>friction</em></u><em>. </em>

Further Explanation:

The force applied on a body is a pull or push which makes a body to change its state of rest or motion. <u>When a body moves on a surface under the action of a force, the body accelerates along the floor</u>.

If the body is moving on a rough floor, then there will be a <u>friction force between the surface and the body and this friction force tends to oppose the motion of the body</u>. The friction force is always acting in the direction opposite to the motion of the body.

<u>The normal force is a force which acts as a reaction force of the surface acting on the body due to the action of the force exerted by the body on the surface</u>. The friction force is always perpendicular to the surface on which the body is placed and therefore, it is termed as the normal force.

<u>The weight of a body is the force by which the body is attracted towards the Earth by the gravitational force of the Earth</u>. The weight of the body is always directed towards the center of the Earth.

Thus, <em>the force that always acts opposite to the direction of motion of the body is the </em><u><em>friction</em></u><em>. </em>

Number 10 and an explaination would be fabulous. thanks!
Sati [7]
Linear momentum has to be conserved. It was zero before the thread eas burned ... when nothing was moving ... so the momentum of the masses moving in opposite directions has to add up to zero. ... Momentum = mass times speed. ... In one direction, you have 5 kg times 1/5 m/s= 1 kg-m/s. ... We need 1 kg-m/s in the other direction. ... 7 kg times speed = 1 kg-m/s. ... Can you finish it from here ?

A single circular loop of wire of radius 0.75 m carries a constant current of 3.0 A. The loop may be rotated about an axis that
NISA [10]

Answer:

B = 0.8 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circular loop, r = 0.75 m

Current in the loop, I = 3 A

The loop may be rotated about an axis that passes through the center and lies in the plane of the loop.

When the orientation of the normal to the loop with respect to the direction of the magnetic field is 25°, the torque on the coil is 1.8 Nm.

We need to find the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop. Torque acting on the loop is given by :

\tau=NIAB\sin\theta

B is magnetic field

B=\dfrac{\tau}{NIA\sin\theta}\\\\B=\dfrac{1.8}{1\times \pi \times (0.75)^2\times 3\times \sin(25)}\\\\B=0.8\ T

So, the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop is 0.8 T.

A scientist testing to see how a cat “always” lands on their feet drops a cat upside down out of a third story window at a heigh
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer: </u>

Cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Initial height of cat from ground = 20 meter.

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this the velocity of cat in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity =  9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

Substituting

20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

So, cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.
