Answer:

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

Explanation:

We may have noticed that a body thrown upward in air falls back down again after attaining a particular height. The object was able to fall down back due to the effect of gravity acting on it. If there are no force of gravity acting on the body, the body will not fall back but rather disappears into the thin air.

A coin tossed upward in the air which falls back down when released is therefore under the influence of gravity i.e GRAVITATIONAL FORCE while it moves upward after it is released

The spring of a toy car stores 10 J of potential energy. Only 8 J of energy changes to kinetic energy as the car moves. What hap
son4ous [18]

Answer:

It has been converted into thermal energy due to friction

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another.

Applied to this problem, it means that the total initial energy of the spring-toy system must be conserved.

Therefore:

- At the beginning, the total energy stored in the spring is 10 J

- After the toy is released, the total energy must still be 10 J.

In reality, we are told that the kinetic energy of the car is only 8 J. The other 2 J have not been destroyed, but they have been converted into thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces that act against the motion of the toy car.

Four forces act on a hot-air balloon, as shown
dolphi86 [110]

The magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is 374.13 N.

The given forces from the image;

  • <em>Upward force = 514 N</em>
  • <em>Downward force = 267 N</em>
  • <em>Eastward force = 678 N</em>
  • <em>Westward force = 397 N</em>

The net vertical force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

F_y = 514 \ N \ \ - \ \ 267 \ N\\\\F_y = 247 \ N

The net horizontal force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

F_x = 678 \ N \ - \ 397 \ N\\\\F_x = 281 \ N

The magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

F = \sqrt{F_y^2 + F_x^2} \\\\F = \sqrt{(247)^2 + (281)^2} \\\\F= 374.13 \ N

Thus, the magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is 374.13 N.

A large refrigerator (mass 80kg) sits at rest inside a house. The homeowner wants to move the refrigerator across the room, so s
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

By the law of friction,

F=\mu R

F is the maximum frictional force, \mu is the coefficient of friction and R is the reaction on the refrigerator. On a horizontal surface, the reaction is equal to the weight of the refrigerator.

R=mg

F=\mu mg

While not moving, the fricition on the refrigerator is static friction. So, \mu=0.65

F=0.65 \times80\times9.8=509.6 \text{ N}

This is the maximum frictional force and is more than the applied horizontal force of 400 N. Frictional force cannot be more than the applied force, else it would actually pull the refrigerator backwards (a strange thing, if it were to happen). It is equal to the extent of the applied force because the applied force is not enough to overcome the maximum.

Hence the frictional force is 400 N.

PS: Note that we do not use the coefficient of kinetic friction because applied force could not overcome the static friction.
