What type of force is needed to accelerate an object? What direction will the object accelerate?

2 answers:

6 0

I think this question is fishing for "NET" force.

That means any force that's not cancelled by another force
on the same object that's equal and opposite (so that the two
of them would add up to zero and have no effect at all).

When there's a 'net' force on the object ... meaning that the whole
GROUP of ALL forces on the object is not balanced and not zero ...
then the object accelerates in the direction of the net force.

That just depends on the mass of the object and I think it will accelerate forwards

A 45 kg bear slides, from rest, 11 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.8 m/s just before hitting the ground.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

change in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide = mgh

= 45 x 9.8 x 11

= 4851 J

b )

kinetic energy of bear just before hitting the ground

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 45 x 5.8²

= 756.9 J

c ) If the average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear be F

negative work done by friction

= F x 11 J

then ,

4851 J - F x 11 = 756.9 J

F x 11 = 4851 J - 756.9 J

= 4094.1 J

F = 4094.1 / 11

= 372.2 N

While in a car at 4.47 meters per second a passenger drops a ball from a height of 0.70 meters above the top of a bucket how far

viktelen [127]

Answer:

1.7 m

Explanation:

$v_x$ = Velocity of ball in x direction = 4.47 m/s

$u_y$ = Velocity of ball in y direction = 0

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

t = Time taken

$s_y$ = Vertical displacement = 0.7 m

$s_y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 0.7=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.7\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.38\ \text{s}$

Horizontal displacement is given by

$s_x=v_xt\\\Rightarrow s_x=4.47\times 0.38\\\Rightarrow s_x=1.7\ \text{m}$

The passenger should throw the ball 1.7 m in front of the bucket.

Two teams of nine members each engage in tug-of-war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an

diamong [38]

Answer:

(a) Acceleration = 0.1063 m/s^2 (Second team wins)

(b) Tension in rope = 65.106 N

Explanation:

Total mass of first team = 68 * 9 = 612 kg

Total force of first team = 1350 * 9 = 12150 N

Total mass of second team = 73 * 9 = 657 kg

Total force of seconds team = 1365 * 9 = 12285 N

Difference in force = 12285 - 12150 = 135 N (towards the second team as it has more force)

(a) For acceleration we get:

F = m * a

135 = (mass of both teams) * a

a = 135 / (612 + 657)

acceleration = 0.1063 m/s^2 (Second team wins)

(b) Since we know the acceleration of the first team (pulling being pulled towards the second team at an acceleration of 0.1063 m/s^2) , we can find out the force required to move them:

Force required for first team = mass of first team * acceleration

Force required = 612 * 0.1063

Force required = 65.106 N

This is the force exerted on the first team through the rope, so the tension in the rope will also be 65.106 N.
