Answer:

Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Air Resistance.

Explanation:

When a moving car skid to stop and its wheels are locked across, then the following forces will be applied on the car:

Normal force: It will act counter to gravity that pushes an object against a surface and acts perpendicular to the contact surface.

Gravity: Gravity force acts in each and every object having mass and it can not be avoidable. So, the gravity force will also apply to the car and attract it to the earth's surface.

Friction: Friction is a force that acts opposite to the motion and stops or slows motion. Friction will be applied to the car that will oppose the motion of the car and stop it.

Air resistance: air resistance is defined as the forces exerted by air that acts opposite to the relative motion of an object. Air resistance will also be applied to the car when it will skid to stop as we are always surrounded by the air.

Hence, the correct answers are "Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Air Resistance."

A small electric motor produces a force of 5 N that moves a remote-control car 5 m every second. How much power does the motor p

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Force, f = 5 N

Velocity, v = 5 m/s

Power, p = energy/time

Energy = mass × acceleration × distance

Poer, p = force × velocity

= 5 × 5

= 25 W.

Note 1 watt = 0.00134 horsepower

But 25 watt,

0.00134 hp/1 watt × 25 watt

= 0.0335 hp.

A hand lifts a block vertically upward at constant velocity. The work done by gravity on the block ____ if the system consists o

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.
