If the book is placed in the middle, the forces acting on <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> is 5N. If the book is moved 50 cm from <em>q</em>, the forces at <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> can be solved by doing a moment balance

<u>With </u><u><em>p</em></u><u> as the pivot;</u>

Fq (2 m) = 10 N (0.5 m)

Fq = 2.5 N

Fp = 10 N - 2.5 N = 7.5 N

An object is moving to the west at a constant speed. three forces are exerted on the object. one force is 10 n directed due nort
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
If we want the object to continue to move at constant speed, it means that the resultant of the forces acting on the object must be zero. So far, we have:
- force F1 with direction north, of 10 N
- force F2 with direction west, of 10 N
The third force must balance them, in order to have a net force of zero on the object.

The resultant of the two forces F1 and F2 is
F_{12} =  \sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}= \sqrt{(10 N)^2+(10 N)^2}= \sqrt{200}=14.1 N
with direction at 45^{\circ} north-west. This means that F3 must be equal and opposite to this force: so, F3 must have magnitude 14.1 N and its direction should be 45^{\circ} south-east.

How do you determine the speed or velocity of an object using a distance vs. time graph
Taya2010 [7]
The speed of an object can be determined from the distance vs time graph.

You know that speed = distance/time

in the graph, distance/time = slope of the curve.

So SPEED IS GIVEN BY THE SLOPE of the curve in the graph.

● If the distance vs time curve is a straight line, parallel to time axis(x-axis), slope is 0. That means speed is 0. So the object is at rest.

● If the distance vs time curve is a straight line, with some non-zero slope; That means speed is nonzero and constant. So the object is in uniform motion.

● If the distance vs time curve is a curved, the slope is changing. That means speed is changing. So the object is in an accelerated motion.

calculate the value of net force acting on given body?5N acting towards right &amp; 15N force acting towards left on the brick.(
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The net force acting on the body is 10N directed to the left.

Explanation:

   Magnitude of force to the right = 5N

   Magnitude of force to the left  = 15N

Net force acting on the object and in what direction;

Solution:

It is the vector sum of all forces acting on a body. This net force is the single force that will replace the forces acting on a body;

  For the problem;

   Net force  = Force to the left + Force to the right

 Let us take left to be negative and right to be positive;

    Force to the left  = -15N

    Net force  = -15N + 5N  = -10N

The net force acting on the body is 10N directed to the left.
