Part 7
The gravitational force is less than magnetic force
Explanation:
Part 1
The position time graph of the object is an horizontal straight line passing across the top of the position 3 boxes vertically up from the origin
As the time increases by the units of number boxes to the left, the position of the object does not change and remains at the 3 boxes up above the origin, therefore, the object is stationary
Part 2
By Newton's third law of motion, the action action obtained from a force is equal to the reaction given to the force, therefore, we have;
The force exerted by the student on the scale = The force exerted by the scale on the student = 20 N
Part 3
A force is a the directional push on an object or pull from the object as a form of interaction with another object which tends to alter or maintain the motion of the object
Part 4
The given parameters are'
The mass of block A = 1.0 kg
The mass of block B = 2.0 kg
Both blocks, "A" and "B" are initially at rest
The applied horizontal force, F = 12-N
The nature of the surface over which the blocks move = Smooth surface
Force, F = Mass, m × Acceleration, a
F = m × a
The blocks two blocks experience a common acceleration, a
The combined mass of the two blocks, m = 1.0 kg + 2.0 kg = 3.0 kg
m = 3.0 kg
Therefore, a = F/m = 12-N/(3.0 kg) = 4 m/s²
Part 5
A normal force is a force acting perpendicularly to a surface that supports the weight of an object
Part 6
The given parameters are;
M = 2 kg
The mass of the left cart attached to the spring = M = 2 kg
The mass of the right cart attached to the spring = 2·M = 2 × 2 kg = 4 kg
Therefore, given that the force exerted by one cart on the other after the spring is removed, we have;
Force, F = M × a₁ = 2·M × a₂
Where;
a₁ = The average acceleration of the cart with mass, M
a₂ = The average acceleration of the cart with mass, 2·M
M × a₁ = 2·M × a₂
∴ a₁ = 2·a₂
The acceleration, a₁, of car M = 2 × The acceleration, a₂, of car 2·M
The acceleration of cart M is two times the acceleration of cart 2·M
Cart M will experience a greater average acceleration
Part 7
For the top magnet of two magnets placed two magnets arranged so that one is on top the other, to be held in the air with a space between the two magnets, the gravitational force pulling the top magnet down, is less than the repelling magnetic force between the two magnets.
