How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?

Physics
1 answer:
Margarita [4]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

By Newton's second law, it reduces the magnitude of the acceleration, without changing its direction.

F = unbalanced force

m = mass

a = acceleration

a = F/m

Why does a person feel cooler under a rotating fan?
sladkih [1.3K]

What a fan does is create a wind chill effect. ... By blowing air around, the fan makes it easier for the air to evaporate sweat from your skin, which is how you eliminate body heat. The more evaporation, the cooler you feel.

Two stones are launched from the top of a tall building. One stoneis thrown in a direction 30.0^\circ above the horizontal with
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Part A)

t(1) > t(2), the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

x(f1) > x(f2), the first stone will land farther away from the building.

Explanation:

<u>Part A)</u>

Let's use the parabolic motion equation to solve it. Let's define the variables:

  • y(i) is the initial height, it is a constant.
  • y(f) is the final height, in our case is 0
  • v(i) is the initial velocity (v(i)=16 m/s)
  • θ1 is the first angle, 30°
  • θ2 is the first angle, -30°

For the first stone

y_{f1}=y_{i1}+v*sin(\theta_{1})t_{1}-0.5gt_{1}^{2}              

0=y_{i1}+16*sin(30)t_{1}-0.5*9.81*t_{1}^{2}

0=y_{i1}+8t_{1}-4.905*t_{1}^{2} (1)  

For the second stone  

0=y_{i2}+16*sin(-30)t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}    

0=y_{i2}-8t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2} (2)            

 

If we solve the equation (1) we will have:

t_{1}=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}  

We can do the same procedure for the equation (2)

t_{1}=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}

We can analyze each solution to see which one spends more time in the air.

It is easy to see that the value inside the square root of each equation is always greater than 8, assuming that the height of the building is > 0. Now, to get positive values of t(1) and t(2) we need to take the negative option of the square root.

Therefore, t(1) > t(2), it means that the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

<u>Part B)</u>

We can use the equation of the horizontal position here.

<u>First stone</u>

x_{f1}=x_{i1}+vcos(30)t_{1}

x_{f1}=0+13.86*t_{1}

x_{f1}=13.86*t_{1}

<u>Second stone</u>

x_{2}=x_{i2}+vcos(-30)t_{2}

x_{1}=0+13.86*t_{1}

x_{1}=13.86*t_{2}

Knowing that t(1) > t(2) then x(f1) > x(f2)

Therefore, the first stone will land farther away from the building.

They land at different points at different times.

I hope it helps you!

A worker is thinking about two ways to get a box up 1.2 m onto a loading dock. He can use a force of 250 N to lift it straight u
harina [27]

Answer:

<em>The second option has a lower power output. P=30 W</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Power </u>

It is a physical magnitude that measures the rate a work W is done over time t.

\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}

Since W=F.d

\displaystyle P=\frac{F.d}{t}

The first option means the worker will lift the box by a distance of 1.2 meters in 3 seconds by applying 250 N of force. That produces a power of

\displaystyle P=\frac{(250). (1.2)}{3}=100\ Watt

The second option requires the worker applies 75 N of force and travel a distance of 4 meters for 10 seconds, thus the power is

\displaystyle P=\frac{(75). (4)}{10}=30\ Watt

The second option has a lower power output

Power grid
All the poles and wires you see along the highway and in front of your house are called the electrical transmission and distribution system. Today, generating stations all across the country are connected to each other through the electrical system (sometimes called the "power grid").

a sponge and a bar of soap occupy the same amount of space, but the soap is much more dense than the sponge
Alex Ar [27]
Yes, that's correct.  That's a big part of the reason why
the soap floats in water and the sponge sinks in it.
