Impulse = change in momentum
The car's momentum was (mass) x (speed)
Momentum = (2400 kg) x (20 m/s)
Momentum = 48,000 km-m/s
To completely stop the car, the impulse = -48,000 km-m/s .
By using common factors of physics: weight, gravity, and stability.
Weight would keep them at a constant height.
Gravity helps the weight and how much force it propels the person, or objects, into the air.
Stability helps adjust how much distance the person, or object, needs to be.
W = F x D
The work you put into a machine -- the input force -- is the force you apply times the distance you apply it. The work done by the machine equals the resisting weight times the distance it moves when you perform the work.
Answer: The correct answer is Image B.
Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.
Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.
Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.
For the given images:
Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.
Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.
Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is acting in between the normal and applied force.
Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.
Hence, the correct option is Image B.
