Answer:
Explanation:
1. What are the forces acting on the block when it is hanging freely from the spring scale? What is the net force on the block? What are the magnitudes of each of the forces acting on the block? Explain.
When a block is hanging freely, two forces are acting on it = tension force from the spring scale and gravity force on the block itself. The net force is zero as the block is not accelerating. The magnitudes of tension and gravity force are the same but in opposite directions.
2. What are the forces that act on the block when it is placed on the ramp and is held in place by the spring scale? What is the net force acting on the block? Explain. (Assume that the ramps are frictionless surfaces.)
There are three forces acting on the block when it is placed on the ramp and is held in place by the spring scale: as in 1, there are tension and gravity but there is a third force - reaction force from the ramp surface on the block that is perpendicular to the surface. Again the block is not moving so the net force is zero.
3. What is the magnitude of normal force acting on the block when it is resting on the flat surface? How does the normal force change as the angle of the ramp increases? Explain. (Assume that the ramps are frictionless surfaces.)
On flat surface, the normal force is equal to the gravity force of the block i.e. its weight. On a vertical surface, the normal force is equal to zero. For the angle of ramp, θ, the normal force = weight * cos θ.
Answer:
40000 N
Explanation:
Force: This cam be defined as the product of mass and acceleration.
From the question,
The braking force of the lorry will be the same in magnitude as the force at which the lorry is moving.
F = ma..................... Equation 1
Where m = mass of the lorry, a = acceleration/deceleration of the lorry.
Given: m = 5000 kg, a = 8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
F = 5000(8)
F = 40000 N
The battery has both a positive side and a negative side. The potential difference will be the potential of the positive end of the battery minus the potential of the negative end, which will result in positive potential, or power. This potential is what gives the electrons the ability to flow from the positive end to the negative end, or to make a current. While the outside of the insulated wire is the insulator, the inside of the wire has copper, which is the conductor of the current. So, this current will go through the copper of the wire (and not the insulator) from the positive side to the negative.
