The Net Force would be 2 N to the left.

21 N is being used to push the box to the right and 23 N is used to push it left. There is a stronger force pushing the box towards the left. The different in the two numbers would give you the net force acting on the box and the direction of the arrow with the greatest force will tell you the direction.

In a tape recorder, the tape is pulled past the read-and-write heads at a constant speed by the drive mechanism. Consider the re

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Torque decreases .

Explanation:

The tape is pulled at constant speed , speed v is constant , so there is

v = ω r where ω is angular speed and r is radius , As radius decreases , angular speed ω increases , So there is angular acceleration .

Let it be α . Let I be moment of inertia of reel .

Reel is in the form of disc

I = 1/2 m r²

I x α = torque

1/2 m r² x α = torque

As the reel is untapped , its mass decreases , r also decreases , so torques also decreases .

A certain alarm clock ticks four times each second, with each tick representing half a period. The balance wheel consists of a t

Semenov [28]

Answer:

a. $I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2$

b. $K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m$

Explanation:

The inertia can be find using

$I = m*r^2$

$m = 0.95 g * \frac{1 kg}{1000g}=9.5x10^{-4} kg$

$r=0.54 cm * \frac{1m}{100cm} =5.4x10^{-3}m$

$I = 9.5x10^{-4}kg*(5.4x10^{-3}m)^2$

$I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2$

now to find the torsion constant can use knowing the period of the balance

T=0.5 s

$T=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{I}{K}}$

Solve to K'

$K = \frac{4\pi^2* I}{T^2}=\frac{4\pi^2*2.7702 kg*m^2}{(0.5s)^2}$

$K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m$

A dog, with a mass of 10.0 kg, is standing on a flatboat so that he is 22.5 m from the shore. He walks 7.8 m on the boat toward

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:16.096

Explanation:

Given

mass of dog $\left ( m_d\right )=10kg$

mass of boat $\left ( m_b\right )=46kg$

distance moved by dog relative to ground= $x_d$

distance moved by boat relative to ground= $x_b$

Distance moved by dog relative to boat=7.8m

There no net force on the system therefore centre of mass of system remains at its position

0= $m_d\times x_d+m_b\dot x_b$

0= $10\times x_d+46\dot x_b$

$x_d=-4.6x_b$

i.e. boat will move opposite to the direction of dog

Now

$|x_d|+|x_b|=7.8$

substituting $x_d$ value

$5.6|x_b|=7.8$

$|x_b|=1.392m$

$|x_d|=6.4032m$

now the dog is 22.5-6.403=16.096m from shore

What is the action force and the reaction force when you sit down on a chair

Licemer1 [7]

The action force is when you are putting your weight on the chair when you are sitting down. the reaction force is the force exerted by the chair that pushes up on your body and is equal to your weight.
