When finding net force, why must you know the directions of the forces acting on an object?

Mariulka [41]3 years ago

<h3>One reason we should know what the directions of the forces acting on an object is so we can know if we have to add or subtract. same = add together, opposite = subtract from each other. Also if we don't pay attention to the direction the Net force will be wont be accurate. There will be factors that will upset the calculation.So we must know the direction of the two forces because we have to know if we are adding or subtracting and if the answer is accurate. </h3>

<em>I hope this helps!.</em>

A line of dominos is knocked down. Which explanation is true?
Llana [10]

B: an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.

This is based on the concept of force on an object.

Now, formula for force is commonly known as;

Force = mass × acceleration

Now, mass and acceleration are the input values that make the output which is the Force to either increase or decrease.

  • Now, for the line of dominoes to fall, it means that the force was so overwhelming that the dominoes couldn't resist it.

Now, this output which is the force became so much as a result of the increase in acceleration of the motion that triggered its movement.

Moreover, the force is directly proportional to the acceleration!

Thus, we can say that an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1200 kg automobile moving at 18 m/s .
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

194,400 joules of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Remember that to calculate the Kinetic energy you need to use the next formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2

We know that Mass= 1200 kg and velocity is 18m/s, so we insert those values into the formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2\\Ke=\frac{1}{2}1200kg*(18m/s)^2\\Ke=194,400 joules

So the kinetic energy of a car moving at 18m/s with a mass of 1200 kg would be 194,400 joules.

An object of mass 3 kg, moving with and sticks to an object of mass 2.00 kg with an initial velocity of 3.00 m/s. Find the final
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

1.8 m/s

Explanation:

momentum = mass × velocity

initial momentum = m1v1+m2v2

                             = 3×3 +2×0 = 9+0= 9 kg m/s

let combined velocity be V

HENCE  

final momentum = total mass × velocity

                            = (3+2) × V = 5V

According to law of conservation of momentum

final momentum = initial momentum

5V = 9

V =9/5

V = 1.8 m/s
