When two forces are acting a body in opposite direction their resultant become 6N and when they are acting in the same direction

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

9 and 3 N

Explanation:

Forces in the same direction sum up to produce the resultant force;

One force subtract the other will give the resultant force when they are in opposite directions;

Lets say one direction is forwards and the opposite backwards;

We have one force, let's say force A, in the forwards direction and another force, force B, acting in the same (forwards) or opposite (backwards) direction;

If B is acting in the same direction, then the resultant force (in this case) will be as follows:

A + B = 12

If B is acting in the opposite direction, then the resultant force will be as follows:
A - B = 6

Summing the two equations will allow us to solve for A:

A + B + (A - B) = 12 + 6

2A = 18

A = 9

Substitute this into either of the above equations and we can solve for B:
(9) - B = 6

B = 9 - 6

B = 3

A student, who weighs 720N, is standing on a bathroom scale and riding an elevator that is moving downwards with a speed that is

jasenka [17]

Answer:

1) The mass of the student is approximately 73.39 kg

2) The net force on the student is approximately 947.523 N

3) The value the scale will read is approximately 96.59 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The weight of the student = 720 N

The speed at which the elevator is decreasing = 3.1 m/s²

1) The weight of the student = The mass of the student × The acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity is a constant = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting the known values gives;

720 N = The mass of the student × 9.81 m/s²

∴ The mass of the student = 720 N/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 73.39 kg

2) The forces acting on the student are;

i) The force of gravity which is the weight of the student acting downwards

ii) The inertia force of the slowing elevator acting downwards in the same direction as the weight of the student

The net force, $F_{net}$ = The weight of the student + The inertia force of the slowing elevator

∴ The net force, $F_{net}$ = 720 N + 73.39 kg × 3.1 m/s² ≈ 947.523 N

3) The scale will read the mass of the student as follows;

Mass reading of student on the scale = Force on scale/9.81

∴ Mass reading of student on the scale = 947.523/9.81 ≈ 96.59 kg

The value the scale will read = 96.59 kg.

Several forces act on an object at rest. It is known that the sum of the forces acting on the object is zero. Which statement is

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

When net force of zero acting on a ball which is at rest , then the object center of mass will not accelerate , but the object may begin to rotate .

Explanation:

Here when there is an object where several forces are acing upon are zero then the center of mass will not accelerate because we know that

$A_{com}=\frac{F_{net}}{M}$

Where $A_{com} =$ acceleration of center of mass

$F_{net}$ = net force = 0

So the acceleration of center of mass will be zero

But the torque ,may not be zero as torque is product of individual force and perpendicular force .

Since if torque is not equal to zero then the object may begin to rotate
