Wo siblings are arguing over what way to pull a 10 kg wagon. Boris wants to pull it to the right. Boris puts 220 N of force on t

he wagon. Natasha wants to pull it to the left. Natasha puts 250 N of force on the wagon. A) What is the net force on the wagon?B) What is the acceleration of the wagon?(Both parts require you to include the direction with your numerical answer.)

Answer:

a) Then net force acting on the wagon  30 [N] in a negative direction to the left

b)Acceleration of the wagon 3 m/s² in a negative direction to the left

Explanation:

The coordinates x and y show the positive direction in x-axis ( to the right) and negative direction to the left. In north-south direction positive y values are to the north and negative values to the south

The free-body diagram shows 4 forces acting

In y-axis:

The weight ( P = m*g =  10 [kg]*9,8 [m/s²] = 98 [N] negative

Normal reaction force  Fn = P = 98 [N]  positive ( surface is frictionless)

∑Fy = 0     P - Fn = 0     P = Fn  = 98 [N]

In x-axis:

Boris pulling force to the right (positive ) 220 [N]

Natasha pulling force to the left ( negative) 250 [N]

∑Fx = m*a

220 [N] - 250 [N]  = 10 Kg * a                      [N] = Kg * m /s²

-30 [kg*m/s²]  = 10 * Kg * a

-30/10  =  - 3  m/s²  = a

Sign (-) means the direction of acceleration vector is to the left (the same direction of the movement )

Then net force acting on the wagon  30 [N] in negative direction to the left

Acceleration of the wagon 3 m/s² in negative direction to the left

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Mars on a 80 kg human standing on the surface of Mars. (The ma
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

a) F=1.044\times 10^9\ N

b)F'=1.044\times 10^9\ N

c) F_p=1.0672\times10^{-7}\ N

d) Treat the humans as though they were points or uniform-density spheres.

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of Mars, M=6.4\times 10^{23}\ kg
  • radius of the Mars, r=3.4\times 10^{6}\ m
  • mass of human, m=80\ kg

a)

Gravitation force exerted by the Mars on the human body:

F=G.\frac{M.m}{r^2}

where:

G=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\ m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2} = gravitational constant

F=6.67\times10^{-11}\times \frac{6.4\times 10^{23}\times 80}{(3.4\times 10^{6})^2}

F=1.044\times 10^9\ N

b)

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the human on Mars is equal to the force by the Mars on human.

F'=F

F'=1.044\times 10^9\ N

c)

When a similar person of the same mass is standing at a distance of 4 meters:

F_p=6.67\times10^{-11}\times \frac{80\times 80}{4}

F_p=1.0672\times10^{-7}\ N

d)

The gravitational constant is a universal value and it remains constant in the Universe and does not depends on the size of the mass.

  • Yes, we have to treat Mars as spherically symmetric so that its center of mass is at its geometric center.
  • Yes, we also have to ignore the effect of sun, but as asked in the question we have to calculate the gravitational force only due to one body on another specific body which does not brings sun into picture of the consideration.

A 40 g ball rolls around a 30 cm -diameter L-shaped track, shown in the figure, (Figure 1)at 60 rpm . What is the magnitude of t
levacccp [35]

Answer:

0.47 N

Explanation:

Here we have a ball in motion along a circular track.

For an object in circular motion, there is a force that "pulls" the object towards the centre of the circle, and this force is responsible for keeping the object in circular motion.

This force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by:

F=m\omega^2 r

where

m is the mass of the object

\omega is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circle

For the ball in this problem we have:

m = 40 g = 0.04 kg is the mass of the ball

\omega =60 rpm \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=6.28 rad/s is the angular velocity

r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is the radius of the circle

Substituting, we find the force:

F=(0.040)(6.28)^2(0.30)=0.47 N
