Describe the net force lab and explain what the lab demonstrated

1 answer:

6 0

<span>The net force acting on an object is the sum of all the force acting on it, and the net force of an object is zero. I f the forces acting on it tend to cancel each other. For example you are sit in a chair, the earth's gravity is pulling you down, but the chair is pushing you up with an equal amount of force.</span>

A block is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s up a frictionless 28° inclined plane. (a) What is its velocity when it reaches t

kramer

Answer:

A.) 8 m/s

B.) 7.0 m

Explanation:

Given that a block is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s up a frictionless 28° inclined plane.

(a) What is its velocity when it reaches the top of the plane?

Since the plane is frictionless, the final velocity V will be the same as 8 m/s

The velocity will be 8 m/s as it reaches the top of the plane.

(b) How far horizontally does it land after it leaves the plane?

For frictionless plane,

a = gsinø

Acceleration a = 9.8sin28

Acceleration a = 4.6 m/s^2

Using the third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2as

Substitute the a and the U into the equation. Where V = 0

0 = 8^2 - 2 × 4.6 × S

9.2S = 64

S = 64/9.2

S = 6.956 m

S = 7.0 m

What is the force that opposes motion and works against the downward pull? A) friction B) gravity C) weight D) acceleration

charle [14.2K]

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it is A Friction. because gravity pulls down, weight isn't a force, and acceleration doesn't oppose motion

Refraction of sound waves often takes place when:

Ainat [17]

<span>Refraction is where the direction of travel of sound waves is altered by passing through a material of much higher or lower density. Walls that allow sound through are one example, but answer B is more about walls bouncing sound back - that's an example of reflection. The most likely change of density is answer A, air with big temperature differences.</span>

A ball with a mass of 3.1 kg is moving in a uniform circular motion upon a horizontal surface. The ball is attached at the cente

inessss [21]

Answer:

3.46 seconds

Explanation:

Since the ball is moving in circular motion thus centripetal force will be acting there along the rope.

The equation for the centripetal force is as follows -

$F=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where, $m$ is the mass of the ball, $v$ is the speed and $r$ is the radius of the circular path which will be equal to the length of the rope.

This centripetal force will be equal to the tension in the string and thus we can write,

$20.4 = \frac{3.1\times v^2}{2}$

and, $v^2 = 13.16$

Thus, $v = 3.63$ m/s.

Now, the total length of circular path = circumference of the circle

Thus, total path length = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 2 = 12.56 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = $\frac{\text {Path length} }{\text {Speed}}$ = $\frac{12.56}{3.63}$ = 3.46 seconds.

Thus, the mass will complete one revolution in 3.46 seconds.

Elect the correct equations that show that when a 3.0-kg book is lifted 2.6 m its increase in gravitational potential energy is

grigory [225]

The increase in gravitational potential energy for an object of mass m is given by
$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
where $\Delta h$ is the increase in altitude of the object.

In our problem, m=3.0 kg, $\Delta h= 2.6 m$ and $g=10 m/s^2$ (approximated value), so we have
$\Delta U = mg\Delta h=(3.0 kg)(10 m/s^2)(2.6 m)=78 J$
