Which body is in equilibrium?
(1) a satellite orbiting Earth in a circular orbit
. No. The forces on it are unbalanced. There's only one force acting on it ... the force of gravity, pulling it toward the center of the Earth. That's a centripetal force, and the satellite is experiencing centripetal acceleration.
(2) a ball falling freely toward the surface of Earth. No. The forces on it are unbalanced. There's only one force acting on it ... the force of gravity, pulling it toward the center of the Earth. The ball is accelerating toward the ground.
<em>
(3) a car moving with a constant speed along a straight, level road. YES.</em> We don't even need to analyze the forces, just look at the car. It's moving in a straight line, and its speed is not changing. The car's acceleration is zero ! That right there tells us that the NET force ... the sum of all forces acting on the car ... is zero. THAT's called 'equilibrium'.
(4) a projectile at the highest point in its trajectory. No. The forces on it are unbalanced. There's only one force acting on it ... the force of gravity, pulling it toward the center of the Earth. The projectile is accelerating toward the ground.
Explanation:
I think the third one coz it's so good
Answer:
Explanation:
When force applied to the end of the rod in perpendicular direction then net torque on the rod is given as
Now another force is applied at mid point of the rod at an angle of 30 degree with the rod
so new value of torque is given as
so we have
<span>When you bring a charged object, such as your balloon, near a neutral object that is classified as an insulator, than a temporary charge is induced in the neutral object. If the charged object is positive, then electrons in the neutral object will be attracted toward the charged object, creating a temporary imbalance of charges in the neutral object.</span>
Answer:
218.5 N
Explanation:
In order for the sled to be in equilibrium along the vertical direction, the forces acting along this direction must be balanced. So the equilibrium equation is:
where
N is the normal force
F = 50 N is the force that pulls the sled
is the angle between the force and the horizontal, so
is the component of F acting along the vertical direction
(mg) is the weight of the sled, with
m = 25 kg being the mass of the sled
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
Solving the formula for N, we find
