To determine the centroid of the object first moment of area is used.

To predict the resistance of a shape to bending and deflection which are directly proportional, second moment of area is used.

A 2000 N net force will give a car with some amount of mass an acceleration of 4 m/s2
hammer [34]

Answer:

2m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Net force on the car  = 2000N

Acceleration = 4m/s²

Unknown:

Acceleration of a car twice the mass  = ?

Solution:

Let us first find the mass of the car;

 Force  = mass x acceleration

         Mass = \frac{Force }{acceleration}  

 Mass = \frac{2000}{4}   = 500kg

 Now,

     whose mass is twice that of the car

    Mass of the new car = 2 x 500  = 1000kg

So;

  Acceleration  = \frac{Net force }{mass}  

  Acceleration  = \frac{2000}{1000}  = 2m/s²

Explain the process of why the balloon is attracted to the wall, and why electrons are not transferred in this process. Is the w
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The process by which the balloon is attracted and possibly sticks to the wall is known as static electricity which is the attraction or repulsion between electric charges which are not free to move.

The wall is an insulator.

Explanation:

When a balloon is blown and tied off, and then the balloon is rubbed on the woolly object once in one direction, and the side that was rubbed against the wool is brought near a wall and then released, it is observed that the balloon is attracted to and sticks to the wall. The above observation is due to static electricity.

Static electricity refers to electric charges that are not free to move or that are static. One of the means of generating such charges is by friction. When the balloon is rubbed on the woollen material, electrons are given away to the balloon's surface. Since the balloon is an insulator (materials which do not allow electricity to pass through them easily), the electrons are not free to move. When the balloon is brought near to a wall, there is a rearrangement of the charges present on the wall. Negative charges on the wall move farther away while the positive charges on the wall are attracted to the electrons on the balloon's surface. Because the wall is also an insulator, the charges are not discharged immediately. Therefore, this attraction between opposite charges as well as the static nature of the charges results in the balloon sticking to the wall.

A force does 30000 J of work along a distance of 9.5m. Find the applied force.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: F=3158N

Explanation:

Work is the product of force applied and the distance the object moves along the force applied. Work is measured in joules and the equation is as follows

W = F x d

So that F = W/d

F = 30000 J / 9.5m

F = ~3158 N
