How to use unbalanced forces in a sentence

1 answer:

4 0

Forces occur in pairs and can be either balanced or unbalanced. Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. Unbalanced Forces do cause a change in motion.

Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441

Tasya [4]

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L$ (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
$f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz$
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
$T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L = \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2$

A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x

sattari [20]

If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?

What would be a good reason to increase friction between surfaces? to allow objects to slide past each other easily to reduce we

Lelu [443]

So basically the objects would be sandpaper and smooth metal, the sandpaper can indirectly touch the metal since it’s so smooth and it won’t cause any temp change either
