A man attempts to pick up his suitcase of weight ws by pulling straight up on the handle. However, he is unable to lift the suit

case from the floor. Which statement about the magnitude of the normal force n acting on the suitcase is true during the time that the man pulls upward on the suitcase?
a. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase.
b. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase minus the magnitude of the force of the pull.
c. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the sum of the magnitude of the force of the pull and the magnitude of the suitcase's weight.
d. The magnitude of the normal force is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

Normal force, is always directed upward the surface over which is placed the object, and can adopt any value, as required to meet Newton's 2nd Law.

In this case, as the external force on the suitcase pulls upward, in order  to counteract the influence of gravity, normal force is less than the weight of the suitcase, as follows:

F + Fn = m*g

⇒ Fn = m*g - F

So, the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase (m*g) minus the magnitude of the force of the pull (F) which is the same expressed by the statement b.

Two rocks are at the top of a building. Rock 1 is dropped from rest while Rock 2 is thrown horizontaly at a velocity of 5 ms.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is 0 m/s²

Explanation:

The horizontal velocity of the second rock is 5 m/s, so if we pretend air resistance doesn't exist, it will maintain that horizontal velocity, meaning that there is no horizontal acceleration.

BRAINLEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER PLEASE
Nata [24]

Answer:

Sledgehammer A has more momentum

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Sledgehammer A = 3 Kg

Swing speed = 1.5 m/s

Mass of Sledgehammer B = 4 Kg

Swing speed = 0.9 m/s

Find:

More momentum

Computation:

Momentum = mv

Momentum sledgehammer A = 3 x 1.5

Momentum sledgehammer A = 4.5 kg⋅m/s

Momentum sledgehammer B = 4 x 0.9

Momentum sledgehammer B = 3.6 kg⋅m/s

Sledgehammer A has more momentum

What is the average speed of a car that moved 40 km in 3 hours?
Naya [18.7K]

<u>A</u> would be the answer, since it would take about 3 hours to cover most of it, 10km/h would be the average speed.


really hope this helps.

Find the y-component of this
Alborosie

Answer:

-0.0789 m

Explanation:

Recall that the y-component comes associated with the sin(18.4) through the following trigonometric relationship:

y = 0.250 sin(-18.4) ≈ -0.0789 m

Notice it is negative since it is below the x-axis.
