A box is at rest on a table. What can you say about the forces acting on the box?

2 answers:

6 0

You can tell a lot about an object that's not moving,
and also a lot about the forces acting on it:

==> If the box is at rest on the table, then it is not accelerating.

==> Since it is not accelerating, I can say that the forces on it are balanced.

==> That means that the sum of all forces acting on the box is zero,
and the effect of all the forces acting on it is the same as if there were
no forces acting on it at all.

==> This in turn means that all of the horizontal forces are balanced,
AND all of the vertical forces are balanced.

Horizontal forces:
sliding friction, somebody pushing the box

All of the forces on this list must add up to zero. So ...

(sliding friction force) = (pushing force), in the opposite direction.

If nobody pushing the box, then sliding friction force = zero.

Vertical forces:
gravitational force (weight of the box, pulling it down)
normal force (table pushing the box up)

All of the forces on this list must add up to zero, so ...

(Gravitational force down) + (normal force up) = zero

(Gravitational force down) = -(normal force up) .

Can you think of other factors that may affect a carrying capacity

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The factors that affects the carrying capacity are the "food availability, water supply, environmental condition and living space"

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of an environment varies in different species and there are chances of being change over the time because of the various factors which is like food availability, water supply, environmental condition ad also the living space. The carrying capacity is mostly dependent upon the available resources and also the services available in the ecosystem. The symbol for the carrying capacity is K. If the population size will increase the carrying capacity are not sustainable and hence it will degrade the habitat.

Which of the following is the best definition of an isotope?

ad-work [718]

Answer:

A. elements of the same kind with different numbers of neutrons

Explanation:

As we know that an atom is represented by

$_z^AX$

here we know that

z = atomic number

A = atomic number + number of neutrons

now if the number of neutrons in an atom is different but having same number atomic number then the combination of such group of atoms is known as isotopes.

So here we have

$_z^{A_1}X, _z^{A_2}X$

so above is the example of isotopes

When measuring the diameter of a cylinder the following measurements are obtained.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

a. 1.80 %

b. 0.60 %

c. 1.20 %

d. 0.60 %

e. 0.60 %

Explanation:

In order to calculate percent uncertainties in each case, we forst need to calculate the average value:

Average Diameter = (16.4 mm + 16.8 mm + 16.9 mm + 16.6 mm +16.8 mm)/5

Average Diameter = 16.7 mm

Now, the formula for percent uncertainty is:

% Uncertainty = (Uncertainty/Average) * 100 %

where,

Uncertainty = |Value - Average|

For Each Case:

a. 16.4 mm:

Uncertainty = |16.4 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.3 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.3 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

% Uncertainty = 1.80 %

b. 16.8 mm:

Uncertainty = |16.8 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.1 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.1 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

% Uncertainty = 0.60 %

c. 16.4 mm:

Uncertainty = |16.9 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.2 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.2 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

% Uncertainty = 1.20 %

d. 16.6 mm:

Uncertainty = |16.6 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.1 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.1 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

% Uncertainty = 0.60 %

e. 16.8 mm:

Uncertainty = |16.8 mm - 16.7 mm| = 0.3 mm

Therefore,

% Uncertainty = (0.1 mm/16.7 mm) * 100%

% Uncertainty = 0.60 %

What is the acceleration of a racing car if it's speed is increased uniformly from 44 m /s to 66 m / s over an 11 second period

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

the acceleration of the race car is 2 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the race car, u = 44 m/s

final velocity of the race car, v = 66 m/s

time of motion of the race car, t = 11 s

The acceleration of the race car is calculated as;

$a = \frac{v-u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{66-44}{11} \\\\a = 2 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the race car is 2 m/s²
