What is force? Define with an example.​

Physics
1 answer:
katrin [286]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

A force involves an interaction between two or more objects, and it causes a push or pull between the objects. An example of opposing force include drag due to interaction with an air mass and the force due to friction between two objects.

hope it helps!

PLEASE HELP!! Newtons first law states that if an objects velocity is changing a __________ must be acting on it. Question 1 opt
Anika [276]

Newtons first law states that if an objects velocity is changing a <u>force</u> must be acting on it.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that:

"An object at rest (or in uniform motion) will remain at rest (or will continue moving with the same velocity) unless acted upon an unbalanced force"

We can apply this law to a daily life example:

  • Take a book at rest on a table: the forces acting on the book are balanced. If we do not apply any other force, we know that the book will remain at rest: this is exactly what is summarized in Newton's first law.
  • Take a space probe moving in the interstellar space, very far from any planet or source of gravitational force. Since there are no forces acting on the proble, the probe will continue moving at the same velocity (same speed and same direction) forever, unless stopped by a new force acting on it.

This means that in order to put an object at rest in motion, or to stop an object already in motion, or to change its velocity, an unbalanced force needs to be applied: otherwise, the object will continue having the same velocity (which can be either zero or non-zero), so it will continue having  same speed and same direction.

Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance li
diamong [38]

So to solve this problem, we must convert units and then cancel units simultaneously:

(\frac{982,080,000ft}{s})*(\frac{32,000,000s}{1})*(\frac{12inches}{1ft})=3.77x10^{17} inches

Therefore we know that the distance that light travels in one year is 3.77x10^{17} inches.

A sprinter practicing for the 200-m dash accelerates uniformly from rest at A and reaches a top speed of 35 km/h at the 67-m mar
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

0.705 m/s²

Explanation:

a) The sprinter accelerates uniformly from rest and reaches a top speed of 35 km/h at the 67-m mark.

Using newton's law of motion:

v² = u² + 2as

v = final velocity = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, u = initial velocity = 0 km/h,  s = distance = 67 m

9.72² = 0² + 2a(67)

134a = 94.484

a = 0.705 m/s²

b) The sprinter maintains this speed of 35 km/h for the next 88 meters. Therefore:

v = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, u = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, s = 88 m

v² = u² + 2as

9.72² = 9.72² + 2a(88)

176a = 9.72² - 9.72²

a = 0

c) During the last distance, the speed slows down from 35 km/h to 32 km/h.

u = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, v = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s, s = 200 - (67 + 88) = 45 m

v² = u² + 2as

8.89² = 9.72² + 2a(45)

90a = 8.89² - 9.72²

90a = -15.4463

a = -0.1716 m/s²

The maximum acceleration is 0.705 m/s² which is from 0 to 67 m mark.

The vector position of an object is given by r what is the torque acting on the object about the origin when a force f = (−12.5i
attashe74 [19]
Let the vector position of the object in the (x-y) plane be 
\vec{r} = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j}

The applied force is
\vec{f} = -12.5 \hat{i}&#10;

By definition, the applied torque is
\vec{T} = \vec{r} \times \vec{f} = (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}) \times (-12.5y \hat{i}) = 12.5\hat{k}

Answer: 12.5y \, \hat{k}
