How many forces are acting on a stationary raft floating in a swimming pool A1 B2 or C3

1 answer:

3 0

There are at least two forces on it, and there could be more.

Vertical forces:
-- gravity, directed downward
-- buoyant force, directed upward
These two forces must be exactly equal, so that the net
vertical force on the raft is zero. Otherwise, it would be
accelerating either up or down.

Horizontal forces:
We know that the net horizontal force on the raft is zero.
Otherwise, it would be accelerating horizontally.

But we don't know if there are actually no horizontal forces
at all, or a balanced group of horizontal forces, that add up
to a net force of zero.

A uniform electric field of strength E points to the right. An electron is fired with a velocity v0 to the right and travels a d

zvonat [6]

Answer:

$D_l=d$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

The Electric field of strength direction =Right

The Velocity of The First Electron=V_0

The Velocity of The Second Electron=V_0

Therefore

$V_{e1}=V_{e2}$

Generally, the equation for the Horizontal Displacement of electron is mathematically given by

$D=\frac{at^2}{2}$

Where

Acceleration is given as

$a=\frac{V_o}{2d}$

And

Time

$T=\frac{d}{v_0}$

Therefore horizontal displacement towards the left is

$D_l=\frac{(\frac{V_o}{2d})(\frac{d}{v_0})^2}{2}$

$D_l=d$

If a person weighs 818 N on earth and 5320 N on the surface of a nearby planet, what is the acceleration due to gravity on that

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

$g'=63.74\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the person on Earth, W = 818 N

Weight of a person is given by the following formula as :

$W=mg$

g is the acceleration due to gravity on earth

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{818\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}$

m = 83.46 kg

The mass of an object is same everywhere. It does not depend on the location.

Let W' is the weight of the person on the surface of a nearby planet, W' = 5320 N

g' is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. So,

$g'=\dfrac{W'}{m}$

$g'=\dfrac{5320\ N}{83.46\ kg}$

$g'=63.74\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration due to gravity on that planet is $63.74\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A 1 pound bucket rests on a table. What is the support force exerted on the bucket by the table? What is the support force when

katrin2010 [14]

This question involves the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's third law of motion.

The support force will be "1 pound" for the empty bucket and the support force will be "6 pounds" after pouring water into it.

According to the condition of equilibrium, the sum of forces acting on a stationary object must be zero. Hence, the support force of the table will be equal to the total mass of the bucket.
According to Newton's Third Law of Motion every action force has an equal but opposite reaction force. Hence, the support force will be a reaction force to the weight of the bucket.

Therefore, the support force in each case will be equal to the total mass of the bucket:

Case 1 (empty bucket):

support force = 1 pound

Case 1 (water poured):

support force = 1 pound + 5 pound

support force = 6 pound
