Answer:
C. Add all the force vectors
Explanation:
The net force acting on an object is the vector sum of all the forces on the object.
Remember, Newton's first law tells us a body at rest will remain at rest or that in uniform motion will continue in motion unless acted by unbalanced forces.These unbalanced forces act in all direction towards the body thus to get the net force you require a summation of all these force with respect to their magnitudes and directions.
For example a force of 3N towards the East direction acting on a body and another force of 2N towards the West direction on the same body will generate a net force of 1N towards the East direction.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The sun has rotated causing the shadow to reflect.
Explanation:
An object's acceleration is the rate its velocity (speed and direction) changes. Therefore, an object can accelerate even if its speed is constant - if its direction changes. ... Light's acceleration is zero. Since it travels in a straight line, its direction does not change.
2.0 meters The skateboarder has 2 forces acting upon him to slow him down. The forces are friction, and climbing against the gravitational acceleration. So let's calculate the magnitude of these forces to see how fast he's decelerated. The coefficient of kinetic friction is a multiplier to use against the normal force of the object. We can calculate the normal force by multiplying the mass of the object by the local gravitational acceleration and the cosine of the angle. So Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos(20°) * 0.30 Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.939692621 * 0.30 Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.939692621 * 0.30 Df = 165.7617783 kg*m/s^2 Df = 165.7617783 N
The second amount of force is that caused by gravitational acceleration while climbing. That is determine by the amount of height gained for every meter along the slope. We can calculate that using the sine of the angle. So
Dg = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * sin(20°)
Dg = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.342020143
Dg = 201.1078443 kg*m/s^2
Dg = 201.1078443 N
So the amount of force decelerating the skateboarder is:
F = Df + Dg
F = 165.7617783 N + 201.1078443 N
F = 366.8696226 N
Now let's determine how much kinetic energy needs to be dissipated. The equation is
E = 0.5 MV^2
So we'll substitute the known values and calculate
E = 0.5 MV^2
E = 0.5* 60 kg * (5 m/s)^2
E = 0.5* 60 kg * 25 m^2/s^2
E = 750 kg*m^2/s^2
E = 750 J
Now let's divide the energy by the force.
750 kg*m^2/s^2 / 366.8696226 kg*m/s^2 = 2.04432298 m
Rounding to 2 significant figures gives a distance of 2.0 meters.
