A block of mass 4 kg rests on a horizontal surface without friction, when subjected to the action of 5 horizontal forces as show

n in the figure (wait for the figure). Answer: (a) How strong is the resulting force? (b) What is the direction of the resulting force? (c) If the block takes action to come out of inertia, what will be its acceleration acquired?

Answer:

a) F = 40 N

b) It is acting towards left

c) a = 10 m/s²

Explanation:

As the block of mass and its forces are not shown, the question is incomplete.

First we attach the diagram of the attached question (See below)

We can see in the diagram that there are total of 5 forces acting on that block. Consider the forces acting towards right to be positive and the forces acting towards left be negative (or vice versa, the answer would be same). Let them be:

F₁ = 10 N

F₂ = 17 N

F₃ = 21 N

F₄ = -35 N

F₅ = -53 N

<h3>(a)</h3>

To find resultant force, we'll add all of the 5 forces.

Resultant Force = F₁ + F₂ + F₃ + F₄ + F₅

Resultant Force = 10 + 17 +21 - 35 - 53

Resultant Force = -40 N

<h3>(b)</h3>

As the resultant force has a negative sign, and previously we stated that the forces acting towards left are negative, so the Resultant Force is acting in the left direction.

<h3>(c)</h3>

We know that

F = (m)(a)

Where F is the resultant force we found. Resultant Force was -40N , where negative sign only represents the direction. We'll consider only the magnitude which is 40N, where m is the mass of the block which is 4 kg. Substitute in the equation.

40 = (4)(a)

a = (40)(4)

a = 10 m/s² (in left direction)

<span>Radius = 4.6 m
 Time for one complete rotation t = 5.5 s.
 Distance = 2 x 3.14 x R = 2 x 3.14 x 4.6 m = 28.888.
 Velocity V = distance / time = 28.888 / 5.5 s = 5.25 m/s
 Force exerted by cat Fc = mV^2 / R = (mx 5.25^2) / 4.6 m
  Force of the cat Fc = 6m, m being the mass.
 Normal force = Us x m x g = Us x m x 9.81 = Us9.81m
 equating the both forces => Us9.81m = 6m => Us = 6 / 9.81 => Us = 0.6116 So coefficient of static friction = 0.6116</span>

a pendulum, 2.0 m in length, is released with a push when the string is at an angle of 25 o from the vertical. if the initial sp
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 / 2 m v^2 = L m g (1 - cos θ)

This is the KE due to the pendulum falling from a 25 deg displacement

v^2 = 2 L g (1 - cos 25) = 2 * 2 * 9.8 (1 - .906) = 3.67 m^2/s^2

v = 1.92 m/s      this is the speed due to an initial displacement of 25 deg

Its speed at the bottom would then be

1.92 + 1.2 = 3.12 m/s   since it gains 1.92 m/s from its initial displacement

The subfield of anthropology that describes, analyzes, interprets, and explains social and cultural similarities and differences
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

cultural

Explanation:

Cultural anthropology studies the characteristics of the behavior learned in human societies, that is, science of human culture. In general, it is the science that studies the origin, development, structure, characteristics and variations of human culture in both past and present societies. Ethnography, ethnology, archeology, linguistics and physical anthropology are the disciplines on which cultural anthropology is founded.
