Imagine a box sitting on a shelf. What forces are acting on the box?

Physics
1 answer:
mel-nik [20]3 years ago

In case of an object sitting at rest on another base, there are two equal and opposite forces – Normal force and the gravity.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

When an object is placed at rest position on another object, there is a force exerted by the surfaces of the two contact objects. This force is denoted as Normal Force.

When an object such as a box is placed on a shelf, its surface exerts a contact force on the base of the shelf- The Normal force directed upward. Meanwhile, the gravity stays at its action and tries to pull the box towards itself.  

Both of these forces however are equal and opposite and therefore, there is zero net force on the box. That's why it remains at rest, holding on Newton's third law.

2. Above right: The four positions of the thrown ball with no gravity are
padilas [110]

The characteristics of the projectile launch allows to find the results for the questions about the movement of the ball are:

  • In the attached we see the vertical speed decreases with height and the curve is of the parabolic type.
  • In the movement is several dimensions, each one is independent of the others, the movement in the x axis does not affect the movement in the y axis.

Kinematics studies the motion of bodies looking for relationships between position, velocity and acceleration. In the case of vertical and projectiles launch  the acceleration on the vertical axis is the acceleration of gravity directed downward.

In the attachment we can see the position of the ball for two distances in the case of projectile launching.

We can see that the speed of the ball decreases with height according to the relation

          y = go t - ½ g t²

Where y is the height, g is the initial vertical velocity, g is the acceleration of gravity and t is time.

In all movements in various dimensions we assume that each movement in an . axis is independent

In the case of projectile launching, on the vertical axis there is an acceleration of gravity and on the horizontal axis there is no acceleration, the only parameter that this gives the two movements is the time, which is a scalar.

In conclusion, using the characteristics of the projectile launch, we can find the results for the questions about the movement of the ball are:  

  • In the movement is several dimensions, each one is independent of the others, the movement in the x axis does not affect the movement in the y axis.
  • In the attached we see the vertical speed decreases with height and the curve is of the parabolic type.

Me finding out bananas are curved because they grow towards the sun what do you think about this ?
Goryan [66]
Answer:

Bananas go through a unique process known as negative geotropism. Instead of continuing to grow towards the ground, they start to turn towards the sun. The fruit grows against gravity, giving the banana its familiar curved shape.
