If you walk along a log floating on a lake why does the log move in the opposite direction?

<em>HERE'S</em><em> </em><em>YOUR</em><em> </em><em>ANSWER</em><em>: </em>

•Since the log is stationary and you are moving beside the log, it seems to move in the opposite direction from your point of view, because from your perspective u are stationary and the log is moving. If you were to stop moving the log would also stop moving.

When acted upon by an unbalanced force, an object at rest will do what?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

When unbalanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will move. In the two examples mentioned earlier, the net force on the object is greater than zero. Unbalanced forces produced change in motion (acceleration) and the receivers of the forces - the piano and the rope - moved.

In what direction does an object move when affected by an unbalanced force
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

An unbalanced force means that there are more than one forces with different directions or magnitudes affecting the object. In this case, the vector addition of the forces should be done. The vector addition will result a net force. The object will move in the direction of the net force.

A skater extends her arms horizontally, holding a 5-kg mass in each hand. She is rotating about a vertical axis with an angular
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

1.98 rev/s

Explanation:

m  = mass attached to each hand = 5 kg

r_{i} = initial distance of masses in each hand = 1 m

r_{f} = final distance of masses in each hand = 0.1 m

I = moment of inertia of body = 5 kgm²

I_{i} = initial total moment of inertia = I + 2 mr_{i}^{2}

w_{i} = initial angular velocity = 1 rev/s

I_{f} = final total moment of inertia = I + 2 mr_{f}^{2}

w_{f} = final angular velocity = ?

Using conservation of angular momentum

I_{i} w_{i} = I_{f} w_{f}

(I + 2 mr_{i}^{2}) w_{i} = (I + 2 mr_{f}^{2}) w_{f}

(5 + 2 (5) (1)^{2}) (1) = (5 + 2 (5) (0.1)^{2}) w_{f}

w_{f} = 2.94 rev/s
