Gravity or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another. - google

You are taking a turn at 30.0 m/s on a ramp of radius 25.0 m. What is your acceleration?

Nat2105 [25]

Acceleration = v^2 / r

Acceleration = 30^2/25

Acceleration = 900/25

Acceleration = 36 m/s^2

An elevator is moving is an upwards

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The elevator's free-body diagram has three forces, the force of gravity, a downward normal force from you, and an upward force from the tension in the cable holding the elevator. The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable.

An object is moving to the west at a constant speed. three forces are exerted on the object. one force is 10 n directed due nort

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

If we want the object to continue to move at constant speed, it means that the resultant of the forces acting on the object must be zero. So far, we have:
- force F1 with direction north, of 10 N
- force F2 with direction west, of 10 N
The third force must balance them, in order to have a net force of zero on the object.

The resultant of the two forces F1 and F2 is
$F_{12} = \sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}= \sqrt{(10 N)^2+(10 N)^2}= \sqrt{200}=14.1 N$
with direction at $45^{\circ}$ north-west. This means that F3 must be equal and opposite to this force: so, F3 must have magnitude 14.1 N and its direction should be $45^{\circ}$ south-east.

Albert presses a book against a wall with his hand. As Albert gets tired, he exerts less force, but the book remains in the same

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

maximum static frictional force of the wall on the book (Increasing)

normal force of the wall on the book (Decreasing)

weight of the book (Not changing)

Explanation:

Now according to Newton's third law of motion

"Every action has equal but opposite reaction"

By the data given in question, Albert was pressing the book against the wall.Now, Albert started to reduce his force up against the wall.

First we have to consider all the forces applied on book in this scenario.

1. Weight of book acting downwards (y-axis)

2. Friction between book and wall acting upward (y-axis)

3. Albert's force on book against wall (x-axis)

4. Normal reaction of wall against Albert's force (x-axis)

Now, when Albert reduced his force, new scenario will be

1. Weight will be remain constant as it is W = mg

Neither mass nor acceleration due to gravity changed, so weight acting upon the book will remain same.

2. When Albert reduced force, normal reaction of wall reduced against it according to Newton's third law of motion

3. Now notice that friction is a force which acts in accordance with the applied force. For example if a box is placed at floor, no friction is applied, but when you drag the box, friction starts to act and increases until its limit comes. So, when Albert reduced his force, weight will try to pull the book and maximum static friction will increase to hinder the movement of book downwards.

Notice that maximum static friction will hinder the book from movement, since Albert reduced his force, but wight didn't pull the book, which means that maximum static friction increased to hinder downward motion.
