Explain how an object can have force acting on it but not be acceleration?

Physics

That's what happens if there is more than one force acting on the
object, and the forces are balanced, that is, they all "cancel out".

Think of the rope in a Tug-'o-War.  It has 50 musclebound football guys
all pulling the rope to the west, and 150 strong cheerleaders all pulling
the rope to the east.  The total force to the west is exactly equal to the
total force to the east, and the rope doesn't move at all.  The forces on it
are balanced, and the effect on its motion is the same as if there were  
no force on it at all.

A 82-kg fisherman in a 112-kg boat throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally toward the right with a speed of vi = 4.8 m/s
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0.37 m/s to the left

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.  Initial momentum = final momentum.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Initially, both the fisherman/boat and the package are at rest.

0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Plugging in values and solving:

0 = (82 kg + 112 kg) v + (15 kg) (4.8 m/s)

v = -0.37 m/s

The boat's velocity is 0.37 m/s to the left.

A person is sitting at the very back of a canoe of length L, when the front just bumps into the dock. show answer No Attempt 50%
Pavel [41]

The distance of the canoeist from the dock is equal to length of the canoe, L.

<h3>Conservation of linear momentum</h3>

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is always conserved.

v(m₁ + m₂) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

v is the velocity of the canoeist and the canoe when they are together

  • u₁ is the velocity of the canoe
  • u₂ velocity of the canoeist
  • m₁ mass of the canoe
  • m₂ mass of the canoeist

<h3>Distance traveled by the canoeist</h3>

The distance traveled by the canoeist from the back of the canoe to the front of the canoe is equal to the length of the canoe.

Thus, the distance of the canoeist from the dock is equal to length of the canoe, L.
