As you walk into the kitchen, what forces act on you while you are walking? [Hint: there are more than two forces.]

Draw a square that is meant to represent you, draw an up arrow, a down arrow, a right arrow, and a left arrow. The Left arrow is FORCE FRICTION which is the floor adding friction against you, the Right arrow is FORCE APPLIED, which is the force that your legs are using to cause you to move, the Up arrow is FORCE NORMAL, which is the force that always act on something that is affected by gravity, and the Down arrow is FORCE GRAVITY. These are the four forces acting on you as you walk to the kitchen

Two stones, one with twice the mass of the other, are thrown straight up and rise to the same height h. Compare their changes in

<h2>The gravitational potential energy is double for stone with twice the mass of other stone.</h2>

Explanation:

Let mass of stone 1 be m.

Mass of stone 2 is twice the mass of stone 1.

Mass of stone 2 = 2m

We know that

Gravitational potential energy = Mass x acceleration due to gravity x Height

PE = mgh

For stone 1 ,

PE₁ = mgh

For stone 2 ,

PE₂ = 2mgh = 2 PE₁

So the gravitational potential energy is double for stone with twice the mass of other stone.

The mass of the skateboard is 1.8kg and the mass of the skateboarder is 42kg.

Murljashka [212]

Total momentum must be conserved since there are no external forces in the horizontal direction on the skateboarder or the skateboard.

Momentum before the jump:
$P = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = (1.8kg)(0) + (42kg)(0) = 0$

Momentum after the jump:
$P = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = (1.8kg)(v_1) + (42kg)(0.3 \frac{m}{s} ) = 0$

Solving for the velocity v:
$v_1 = - \frac{m_2v_2}{m_1} = - \frac{(42kg)(0.3 \frac{m}{s} )}{1.8kg} = -7 \frac{m}{s}$

In which situation is no work being done? A. a person carrying a box from one place to another B. a person picking up a box from

Anastaziya [24]

Picking up a box, pushing a box along the ground, and pulling a box along the ground (B, C, and D) definitely involve work being done.

If a person CARRIES a box from one place to another, AND keeps it at the same height during the entire carry, then no work is done. ( A )
