If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

As Newton stated in its first laws of motion that any object cannot undergo change in its state of motion or rest until and unless an external unbalanced force acts on the object. So, in order to push the table across the room, the unbalanced force must be applied on the table by the person.

And this external unbalanced force should be more than the frictional forces between the bottom of desk and surface of floor. So the force that is used to push a desk across the room is termed as applied force as the force is applied on the surface of the desk.

C. is correct : ) it is applied when you push and that causes the desk to move

A baseball is thrown straight up. the drag force is proportional to v2. part a in terms of g, what is the y-component of the bal

steposvetlana [31]

At the position of terminal speed the net acceleration of the ball will become zero

As we know that terminal speed will always reach when net force on the ball is zero and its speed will become constant.

So here at this position we can say

$F_d = F_g$

$kv^2 = mg$

$v =\sqrt{\frac{mg}{k}}$

now when ball is moving at half of the terminal speed in upward direction then net force on the ball in downwards direction will be

$F_{net} = mg + F_d$

$F_{net} = mg + kv^2$

here speed of the ball is half of the terminal speed

$v = \frac{1}{2}*\sqrt{\frac{mg}{k}}$

then we have

$F_{net} = mg + k*\frac{mg}{4k}$

$F_{net} = \frac{5mg}{4}$

now acceleration will be given as

$a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}$

now we have

$a = \frac{5g}{4}$

$a = 12.25 m/s^2$ downwards

A car of mass 960 kg is free-wheeling down an incline at a constant speed of 9.0 m s–1.

Orlov [11]

Need to draw it first.....
but there is no option here to draw .. why?
anyway , here the car is going with a uniform velocity..
so the acceleration of the car=0, a=0
so resistive force on the car=component along the inclined plane of the weight of the car=mg*cos(90-15)=960*9.8*cos 75=?

Give an example of a collision in real life. Use the law of conservation of energy to describe the transfer of momentum. Be sure

ozzi

Explanation :

Using the law of conservation of energy

When two cars collide with each other then the momentum is same before collision and after collision but energy is changed after collision in form of heat and sound.

We know this collision is inelastic collision.

In Inelastic collision, when two objects collide with each other then the momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved.

What is the unit for measuring energy

sdas [7]

This would be called a Joule. The formula for energy is P.E. = mgh (otherwise known as the gravitational force formula, which is energy.) M is the mass in kilograms, and G is the acceleration due to gravity, which is actually (9.8 m / s2 at the surface of the earth.) I hope this helps! ~Mia
