The speed of an object changes only when it is acted on by an unbalanced force.

Physics

Nikitich [7]3 years ago

Answer:

If an object has a net force acting on it, it will accelerate. The object will speed up, slow down or change direction. An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. An unbalanced force is an unopposed force that causes a change in motion.

A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.

Explanation:

In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.

We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.  

In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.

While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.

The atmospheric pressure on the top of the Engineering Sciences Building (ESB) is 97.6 kPa, while that in Room G39-ESB (ground f
Stells [14]

Answer:

Δ h = 52.78 m

Explanation:

given,

Atmospheric pressure at the top of building = 97.6 kPa

Atmospheric pressure at the bottom of building = 98.2 kPa

Density of air = 1.16 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

height of the building = ?

We know,

Δ P = ρ g Δ h

(98.2-97.6) x 10³ = 1.16 x 9.8 x Δ h

11.368 Δ h = 600

Δ h = 52.78 m

Hence, the height of the building is equal to 52.78 m.
