Rigidbodies are components that allow a GameObject<u> to react to real-time physics. </u>
Explanation:
- Rigidbodies are components that allow a GameObject to react to real-time physics. This includes reactions to forces and gravity, mass, drag and momentum. You can attach a Rigidbody to your GameObject by simply clicking on Add Component and typing in Rigidbody2D in the search field.
- A rigidbody is a property, which, when added to any object, allows it to interact with a lot of fundamental physics behaviour, like forces and acceleration. You use rigidbodies on anything that you want to have mass in your game.
- You can indeed have a collider with no rigidbody. If there's no rigidbody then Unity assumes the object is static, non-moving.
- If you had a game with only two objects in it, and both move kinematically, in theory you would only need a rigidbody on one of them, even though they both move.
Answer:
P= 454.11 N
Explanation:
Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).
The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:
In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:
The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N
Friction between the ball and the floor is stealing some of the kinetic energy of the ball, and turning it into heat.
Momentum is conserved in a collision. Momentum is mass*velocity, so you can find your answer by calculating initial and final momentums and setting them equal to each other.
15kg * 3.50 m/s + 9kg * 2.35 m/s = 73.65 kg m/s
73.65 = 9 * 2.8 + 15x
solve for x
x= 3.23
The final velocity is 3.23 m/s
