A 21.2-kg object is being pulled in one direction by a force of 68.8 N while a force of 26.5 N pulls in the opposite direction.

What is the acceleration of the object

Physics

The net force is in the direction of the larger force. If we take that direction to be positive, then the net force has a magnitude of

68.8 N - 26.5 N = 42.3 N

Use Newton's second law to solve for the acceleration:

<em>F</em> = <em>m</em> <em>a</em>

42.3 N = (21.2 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = (42.3 N) / (21.2 kg)

<em>a</em> ≈ 2.00 m/s²

(you might also try 1.99 or 2.01 in case that doesn't get accepted)

7. A stick of length L and mass M is hanging at rest from its top edge from a ceiling hinged at that point so that it is free to
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The distance from the top of the stick would be 2l/3

Explanation:

Let the impulse 'FΔt' acts as a distance 'x' from the hinge 'H'. Assume no impulsive reaction is generated at 'H'. Let the angular velocity of the rod about 'H' just after the applied impulse be 'W'. Also consider that the center of percussion is the point on a bean attached to a pivot where a perpendicular impact will produce no reactive shock at the pivot.

Applying impulse momentum theorem for linear momentum.

FΔt = m(Wl/2), since velocity of center of mass of rod  = Wl/2

Similarly applying impulse momentum theorem per angular momentum about H

FΔt * x = I * W

Where FΔt * x represents the impulsive torque and I is the moment of inertia

F Δt.x = (ml² . W)/3

Substituting FΔt

M(Wl/2) * x = (ml². W)/3

1/x = 3/2l

x = 2l/3

An object has a horizontal velocity component of 6 m/s and a vertical velocity component of 4 m/s.
taurus [48]

For the object that has a horizontal velocity component of 6 m/s and a vertical velocity component of 4 m/s we have:

1. The velocity of the object is 7.21 m/s.

2. The angle it makes with the horizontal is 33.7°.

1. The velocity of the object can be found as follows:

v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2} + v_{y}^{2}}

Where:

v_{x}: is the horizontal component of the velocity = 6 m/s

v_{y}: is the vertical component of the velocity = 4 m/s

Hence, the <u>velocity is</u>:

v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2} + v_{y}^{2}} = \sqrt{(6 m/s)^{2} + (4 m/s)^{2}} = 7.21 m/s

2. The angle it makes with the <u>horizontal </u>can be calculated with the following trigonometric function:

tan(\theta) = \frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}

Where:

θ: is the angle it makes with the horizontal

Therefore, the <u>angle is</u>:

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}) = tan^{-1}(\frac{4}{6}) = 33.7

Two teams are playing tug of war. Team A pulls to the right with a force of 450 N. Team B pulls to the left with a force of 415
motikmotik

Answer:

35 N to the right.

Explanation:

450 is going to the right so you subtract what is going against it. Which gives you 35. And because 450 is bigger than 415, it'll be going to the right.

Determine the magnitude of the resultant force FR=F1+F2FR=F1+F2. Assume that F1F1F_1 = 235 lblb and F2F2F_2 = 350 l
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

585lb

Explanation:

Given the following

F1 = 235lb

F2 = 350lb

The resultant is expressed as;

FR = F1+F2

Substitute the given values

FR = 235+350

FR = 585lb

Hence the magnitude of the resultant is 585lb
