A 60kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the
Fittoniya [83]

a) 4 forces

b) 186 N

c) 246 N

Explanation:

a)

Let's count the forces acting on the bicylist:

1) Weight (W=mg): this is the gravitational force exerted on the bicyclist by the Earth, which pulls the bicyclist towards the Earth's centre; so, this force acts downward (m = mass of the bicyclist, g = acceleration due to gravity)

2) Normal reaction (N): this is the reaction force exerted by the road on the bicyclist. This force acts vertically upward, and it balances the weight, so its magnitude is equal to the weight of the bicyclist, and its direction is opposite

3) Applied force (F_A): this is the force exerted by the bicylicist to push the bike forward. Its direction is forward

4) Air drag (R): this is the force exerted by the air on the bicyclist and resisting the motion of the bike; its direction is opposite to the motion of the bike, so it is in the backward direction

So, we have 4 forces in total.

b)

Here we can find the net force on the bicyclist by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on a body is equal to the product between the mass of the body and its acceleration:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force

m is the mass of the body

a is its acceleration

In this problem we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

a=3.1 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Substituting, we find the net force on the bicyclist:

F_{net}=(60)(3.1)=186 N

c)

We can write the net force acting on the bicyclist in the horizontal direction as the resultant of the two forces acting along this direction, so:

F_{net}=F_a-R

where:

F_{net} is the net force

F_a is the applied force (forward)

R is the air drag (backward)

In this problem we have:

F_{net}=186 N is the net force (found in part b)

R=60 N is the magnitude of the air drag

Solving for F_a, we find the force produced by the bicyclist while pedaling:

F_a=F_{net}+R=186+60=246 N

You could use an elevator or the stairs to lift a box to tenth floor.which has greater power?
erastova [34]

Stairs don't have any power at all.  All the energy used to climb them
has to come from your muscles.

An elevator gets its power from the electric motors that lift it.  All YOU
have to do is stand there and look around.

All of this is a big part of the reason why elevators have become so
popular, and why no buildings with more than a few floors were built
before elevators were invented.

An electron with a speed of 1.2 × 107 m/s moves horizontally into a region where a constant vertical force of 5.2 × 10-16 N acts
Aliun [14]

Answer: 0.642mm

Explanation: F= force = 5.2×10^-16 N,

v = velocity of electron = 1.2×10^7 m/s,

m = mass of electron = 9.11×10^-31 kg.

We will assume the motion of the object to be of a constant acceleration, hence newton's laws of motion is applicable.

Recall that f = ma.

Where a = acceleration

This acceleration of vertical because it occurred when the object deflected.

5.2×10^-16 = 9.11×10^-31 (ay)

ay = 5.2×10^-16 / 9.11×10^-31

ay = 5.71×10^14 m/s²

For the horizontal motion, x = vt

Where x = horizontal distance = 0.019m and v is the velocity = 1.2×10^7 m/s,

By substituting the parameters, we have that

0.019 = 1.27×10^7 × t

t = 0.019 / 1.27 × 10^7

t = 1.5×10^-9 s

The vertical distance (y) is gotten by using the formulae below

y = ut + at²/2

but u = 0

y = at²/2

y = 5.71×10^14 × (1.5×10^-9)²/2

y = 0.00128475/2

y = 0.000642m = 0.642mm

If a net force applied to an object is equal to zero, then the forces that are acting on an object are considered.
hjlf

Answer:

The mass will accelerate. Balanced Forces: When forces are in balance, acceleration is zero. Velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force. A plane will fly at constant velocity if the acceleration is zero.
