Four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time yet there is no net force on the toy. How is this possible.

Answer:

If the net force in the stuffed toy is zero, this means that the forces that the children apply on the toy cancel each other.

This can happen if, for example, two kids pull by one side with a force F and the other two kids pull by the other side with the same force -F (the minus sign is because the direction is the opposite)

Then, the total force is F + (-F) = F - F = 0

Answer:

Net force is Zero.

Explanation:

If all forces that are equal and opposite are exerted on an object the resulting force will be Zero.

A box is pulled with a horizontal force of 500N and moves 5m what is work done
dalvyx [7]
The answer to the question is shown below:

We all know that formula for solving work done is the force multiplied by distance covered:
Work done = Force x distance
Distance = 5m
Force = 500 N
Work done = 500 N * 5m
Work done = 2500 J

A man starts walking north at 3 ft/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 4 ft/s from a point 500
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

ds/dt = 6.98 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The speed of man due north Vm = 3 ft/s

- The speed of woman due south Vw = 4 ft/s

- Woman starts walking 5 mins later than man

Find:

At what rate are the people moving apart 15 min after the woman starts walking?

Solution:

- The total time for which the man is walking due north from P, is Tm:

                                   Tm = 5 + 15 = 20 mins

- The total distance traveled by man in Tm mins is:

                                   Dm = Tm*Vm

                                   Dm = 20*60*3

                                   Dm = 3,600 ft

- The total time for which the woman is walking due south from 500 ft due east from P, is Tw:

                                   Tw = 15 = 15 mins

- The total distance traveled by man in Tw mins is:

                                   Dw = Tw*Vw

                                   Dw = 15*60*4

                                   Dw = 3,600 ft

- The displacement between man and woman at any instance is (s) which can be related by pythagoras theorem as follows:

                                   s^2 = (dm + dw)^2 + 500^2

Where, dm : Distance travelled by man at any time Tm

            dw : Distance travelled by woman at any time Tw

- Differentiate s with respect to t:

                                   2s*ds/dt = 2*(dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw)

                                   s*ds/dt = (dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw)

                                   ds/dt = [ (dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw) ] / s

- Evaluate the rate of separation of man and woman ds/dt by evaluating at instance Tm = 20 mins and Tw = 15 mins. We have:

                 ds/dt = [ (Dm + Dw)*(Vm + Vw) ] / sqrt ( (Dm + Dw)^2 + 500^2 )

- Plug in the values:

                 ds/dt = [ (3600 + 3600)*(3 + 4) ] / [sqrt ( (3600 + 3600)^2 + 500^2 )]  

                ds/dt = 6.98 ft/s

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.4 kg gibbon
Katarina [22]

Answer:

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of gibbon = 9.4 kg

arm length = 0.6 m

speed of the swing

net force must provide

F_{branch} + F_{gravity}=F_{centripetal}

force of gravity = - mg

F_{branch}=F_{centripetal}-F_{gravity}

                        = \dfrac{mv^2}{r} + mg

                        = m(\dfrac{3.4^2}{0.6} +9.8)

                        =9 x 29.067

                        = 261.6 N

upward force acting = 261.6 N
