When is the net force on an object equal to zero?

2 answers:

4 0

There are all kinds of conditions that could bring that about.

1. The most common one is friction. An object is moving that it is not accelerating. That means the frictional force is equal to the force causing motion.

2. The downward gravitational force is being negated by a rope suspending an object. The upward pull by the rope cancels the downward pull of gravity.

3. The rules of the game prohibit motion. A ballplayer would be stupid to leave second base while the pitcher has the ball in his hand (a physics joke. Please ignore).

4. A normal force upwards by the earth's surface is balanced by the weight of an object laying on the ground.

5. Speaking of baseball, there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction, so the net force on the ball horizontally is 0.

6. An elastic band held and aimed horizontally. The force of the elastic to launch a spitball vs the hand holding the elastic back waiting for the best time to let the spitball go.

That should get you going.

When ALL the forces are equal, or in general when <span>forces in the opposite direction are equal

so we can have newton example:

10 newtons X -10 newtons

netforce = 0 newtons</span>

geniusboy [140]

In calculating the energy of a photon of light, we need the relationship for energy and the frequency which is expressed as:

E=hv

where h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10-34 J s)and v is the frequency.
E = 6.626 x 10-34 J s (<span>7.33 x 10^14 /s) = 4.857 x 10^-19 J</span>

Why are light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature liimiting factors

Harman [31]

Answer:

As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, so too does the rate of photosynthesis until a certain point where the graph levels off. At lower carbon dioxide concentrations carbon dioxide is the limiting factor because an increase in carbon dioxide causes an increase in photosynthesis.

List the elements of the APA's definition of a psychological disorder. (

Elina [12.6K]

What exactly is a psychological disorder? How is a psychological disorder diagnosed? Defining exactly what constitutes a mental disorder can be tricky and, definitions have changed over time.

The first problem is that psychologists must first decide exactly how to define disorder. How do you determine if there is something psychologically wrong or unhealthy about a person? How do you decide what's normal and what's abnormal?

If you were to define disorder as something that lies outside of the statistical norm, then people who are considered exceptionally talented or gifted in a particular area would be regarded as abnormal. So rather than focus on actions that are considered outside of the normal statistically speaking, psychologists tend to concentrate on the results of those behaviors. Behaviors that are considered maladaptive and cause significant personal distress and interrupt daily functioning are more likely to be labeled as abnormal.

Today many psychologists agree that psychological disorders are characterized by both personal distress and impairment in multiple areas of life.

The resistance and the magnitude of the current depend on the path that the current takes. The drawing shows three situations in

maria [59]

Answer: (a). Resistance = 0.4286ohms and Current (I) = 7A

(b). Resistance (R) = 0.027 ohms and Current (I) = 111.1A

(c). Resistance (R) = 0.1071 ohms and Current (I) = 28A

Explanation:

From the question, given that;

ρ = 1.5*10-2ῼ.m

Lo = 7cm = 0.07m

V = 3V

From the formula R = ρL/A, where A is the area of cross section, L is the length of material and ρ is the resistivity.

(A)

L = 4Lo and A = 2Lo*Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρ4Lo/(2Lo*Lo)

R = 2ρ /Lo = 2*1.5*10-2/0.07

R = 0.4286 ῼ

From this the current becomes;

I = V/R = 3/ 0.4286 = 6.99 = 7A

(B)

L = Lo and A = 4Lo * 2Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρLo/ (4Lo*2Lo) after eliminating Lo from both sides we get,

R = ρ/8Lo = 1.5*10-2 / 8*0.07

R = 0.027

Current (I) = V/R = 3/0.027 = 111.1A

(C)

L = 2Lo and A = Lo * 4Lo

R = ρL/A

R = ρ2Lo/ (Lo*4Lo) eliminating Lo from both sides we get,

R = ρ/2Lo = 1.5*10-2 / 2*0.07 = 0.1071

The current becomes;

I = V/R = 3/0.1071 = 28A
