Suppose you have two identical sheets of paper and you crumple one of the sheets of paper into a ball. If you drop the crumpled

sheet at the same time and from the same height as the un-crumpled sheet of paper, why will the crumpled sheet of paper hit the ground first?

Answer:

Because it can easily resist air resistance.

Explanation:

Since air resistance is not negligible, the crumpled paper will reach the ground first because it can easily resist air resistance surrounding it compare to the un-crumpled one that will be influenced by the air thereby causing the un-crumpled paper to spend more time in the air

A floating ice block is pushed through a displacement d = (23 m) i - (9 m) j along a straight embankment by rushing water, which
Sav [38]

Answer:

Work = 5941 J

Explanation:

As we know that work done is given by the equation

W = F. d

here we know that

F  = (200 N)\hat i - (149 N) \hat j

also we have

d = (23m) \hat i - (9 m)\hat j

now from above formula we have

W = (200 N\hat i - 149 N \hat j).(23 m\hat i - 9m \hat j)

W = 5941 J

If μs is greater than some critical value, the woman cannot start the crate moving no matter how hard she pushes. calculate this
fiasKO [112]

weight = mg acts downwards <span>
normal force = N acts upwards. 
and force F acts at an angle θ below the horizontal. 
(Let us assume that the woman pushes from the left, so F is acted towards the right, which is below the horizontal) 
so that, Frictional force, f=us*N acts towards the left 

Now we balance the forces along x and y directions: 
y direction: N = mg + F sinΘ 
x direction: us * N = F cosΘ 

We let the value of µs be equal to a value such that any F will not be able to move the crate. Then, if we increase F by an amount F', then the force pushing the crate towards the right also increases by F' cosΘ. Additionally, the frictional force f must raise by exactly this amount. 
Since f can’t exceed us*N, so the normal force must increase by F' cosΘ/us. 
Also, from the y direction equation, the normal force exceeds by F' sin Θ. 

<span>These two values must be the same, therefore:
<span>us = cot θ</span></span></span>

100 + 50 + BRAINLIST PLEASE HELP!!!
irina1246 [14]

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.
