How can you know when an object has an unbalanced force on it

Physics

Mrrafil [7]3 years ago

If forces on an object are balanced, it stays in place. Like if two equally strong people push opposite sides of a box, the box will not move. If an object has unbalanced forces acting upon it, it will move the direction the greater force is directing its force. Like if a toddler and a bodybuilder pushed opposite sides if a box, the bodybuilder would move the box, and the toddler would be trampled.

Find the length of a pendulum that oscillates with a frequency of 0.16 hz. the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . answe
Vsevolod [243]
The period of the pendulum is the reciprocal of the frequency:
T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.16 Hz}=6.25 s

The period of the pendulum is given by
T=2 \pi  \frac{L}{g}
where L is the length of the pendulum, and g the acceleration of gravity. By re-arranging the formula and using the value of T we found before, we can  calculate the length of the pendulum L:
L=g  \frac{T^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=(9.81 m/s^2)  \frac{(6.25 s)^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=9.71 m

A 5.00-m-long uniform ladder, weighing 200 N, rests against a smooth vertical wall with its base on a horizontal rough floor, a
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.488  m  

Explanation:

If θ be the angle ladder makes with the plane

cos θ = 1.2 / 5

Tan θ = 4.04

Let the height a person of weight 600 N  can climb be h from the ground .

Distance from the base point  where ladder touches the floor  = h / tanθ

= h / 4.04

Total reaction force = total downward force

R = 200 + 600

800 N

Frictional force = μ R

= .2 x 800

= 160 N

Taking moment of force about the point on the ladder  where it  touches the floor  and balancing them

200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = μ R x  1.2 / tanθ ( reaction  at the top point of ladder where it touches the wall is  R₁ and

R₁ =μ R   )

= 200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = 160 x 1.2 / tanθ

120  - 600 h / 4.04 = 47.52

120 - 47.52 = 600 h / 4.04

72.48= 148.51 h

h = 0.488  m

A ball is thrown straight up. If the launch velocity is 15 m/s, at what SPEED will the ball return to the thrower’s hand?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Vf = 15 m/s

Explanation:

First we consider the upward motion of ball to find the height reached by the ball. Using 3rd equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² (negative sign for upward motion)

h = height =?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since, ball momentarily stops at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 15 m/s

Therefore,

2(-9.8 m/s²)h = (0 m/s)² - (15 m/s)²

h = (-225 m²/s²)/(-19.6 m/s²)

h = 11.47 m

Now, we consider downward motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vi²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height = 11.47 m

Vf = Final Velocity = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 0 m/s

Therefore,

2(9.8 m/s²)(11.47 m) = Vf² - (0 m/s)²

Vf = √(224.812 m²/s²)

<u>Vf = 15 m/s</u>
