Weight is the force exerted by the earth on a mass therefore weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity . Weight will different on different surfaces such as the moon ,earth etc . But mass is always the same regardless of the force exerted by the surface

You drag a suitcase of mass 8.2 kg with a force of f at an angle 41.9 ◦ with respect to the horizontal along a surface with kine
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

35.6 N

Explanation:

We can consider only the forces acting along the horizontal direction to solve the problem.

There are two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

- The horizontal component of the pushing force, which is given by

F_x = F cos \theta

with \theta=41.9^{\circ}

- The frictional force, whose magnitude is

F_f = \mu mg

where \mu=0.33, m=8.2 kg and g=9.8 m/s^2.

The two forces have opposite directions (because the frictional force is always opposite to the motion), and their resultant must be zero, because the suitcase is moving with constant velocity (which means acceleration equals zero, so according to Newton's second law: F=ma, the net force is zero). So we can write:

F_x - F_f=0\\F_x = F_f\\F cos \theta = \mu mg\\F=\frac{\mu mg}{cos \theta}=\frac{(0.33)(8.2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}{cos(41.9^{\circ})}=35.6 N

Is a force necessary to keep an object in motion?
weqwewe [10]
Well according to Newton’s first law of motion, a body will remain in the state of rest or linear motion provided that an *external force* has been applied. So no, a force doesn’t need to keep a body to remain in linear motion, because F=ma, during uniform linear motion velocity is constant, hence acceleration is zero, so F=0

You are helping two friends from our class with a physics problem where a cart is pushed up a ramp. In examining the motion of t
stiks02 [169]

Answer: Acceleration will have 2 components, vertical and horizontal.

Net-vertical component can be positive, zero or negative depending upon the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration.

Net-horizontal acceleration will  be equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration.

Explanation:

Since acceleration is a vector quantity and the cart is being pushed up the ramp, the ramp would be at some angle to the horizontal and hence there will be vertical and horizontal components of acceleration.

<u>For vertical acceleration:</u>

If the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration is greater than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be upward because it will overtake the value of acceleration due to gravity.

In case the upward component of the applied acceleration is lesser than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be downward.

<u>For horizontal acceleration:</u>

This component remains unaffected and is equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration because there is no other acceleration acting in the horizontal direction.

But the net acceleration will not be solely in the vertical or horizontal direction because the block has to move forward on the inclined ramp so there will always exist a horizontal and a vertical component making the net acceleration to parallel to the ramp in upward direction if the body is going up the ramp.

With the switch open, roughly what must be the resistance of the resistor on the right for the current out of the battery to be
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The resistance must be 6.67\Omega

Solution:

Resistance, R_{1} = 20\Omega

Resistance, R_{2} = 10\Omega

For the current to be the same when the switch is open or closed, the resistances must be connected in parallel as current is distributed in parallel with the same voltage across the circuit:

Thus in parallel:

\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}}

\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{10}

R_{eq} = 6.67\ \Omega
