What weight wb will cause the system to be in equilibrium? neglect all friction, and state any other assumptions.?

Physics

ruslelena [56]4 years ago

To attain equilibrium there should be net force on the body, so that the object will not be in motion. so for a body of wb, any weight will do as long as there is no external force that is applied to it. the only force that is acting on it is the weight which is going down, and the normal force which is going up, to counter act the weight. and the net force is zero.

A ball thrown by Ginger is moving upward through the air. Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. Diagram B shows a box wit
vichka [17]

As the ball is moving in air as well as we have to neglect the friction force on it

So we can say that ball is having only one force on it that is gravitational force

So the force on the ball must have to be represented by gravitational force and that must be vertically downwards

So the correct FBD will contain only one force and that force must be vertically downwards

So here correct answer must be

<em>Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. </em>

The atomic number of an element is found by?
azamat

Calculate the number of neutrons. Now you know that atomic number = number of protons, and mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. To find the number of neutrons in an element, subtract the atomic number from the mass number.

Which of the following is NOT NECESSARILY a property of an air mass?
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

a.

Explanation:

a

The property of air mass include

1) it must be large.

2) it must have relatively uniform properties.

3)it must travel as a recognizable entity.

It must have a warm front at its leading edge, is not necessarily a property of an air mass because Not all air masses have a warm front at their leading edge. There are five types of air masses and different types of the front can be developed.

Which describes an object’s speed in free fall?
Mrac [35]
"Free fall" is the motion of an object when gravity is the ONLY force
acting on it.

In true 'free fall' the speed of an object increases at a constant rate
for the total duration of the fall.  The rate of increase, on or near the
Earth's surface, is 9.8 meters per second for each second of fall.

True free fall is almost impossible to observe in everyday life, because
whenever we see anything falling, it's almost always falling through air,
so gravity is NOT the only force acting on it.  The friction due to the
motion through air works against the gravitational force.  In many cases,
the result is that the object's speed eventually stops increasing and
becomes constant, at a speed often described with the faux technical,
high-fallutin' sounding phrase "terminal velocity".  It must be understood
that 'terminal velocity' is NOT a property of gravity or of free fall, but is
only a result of falling through some surrounding stuff that interferes with
the process of true 'free fall'.

When submerged in water, the brick appears to have an additional force pushing it ___upward ___downward. This additional force i
Neko [114]

Answer:

Therefore, the brick appears to have an additional force pushing it upward.

Explanation:

When a brick is submerged in the water, it has two forces acting upon it. One force is the gravitational force or the weight of the brick, that acts downward. The weight force also acts on the brick when it is not in water. But, in water an additional force acts on the brick. This additional force is named as Buoyant Force. This force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the brick. And this Buoyant Force acts on the brick in the upward direction. The formula for this force is given as follows:

Buoyant Force = (Density of Water)(Volume of Water Displaced)(g)

<u>Therefore, the brick appears to have an additional force pushing it upward.</u>
