The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring.  This does not work.  You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

)If a force of 5.00 N is needed to open a 90.0 cm wide door when applied at the edge opposite the hinges, what force must be app
masha68 [24]

Answer:

A force of 12.857 newtons must be applied to open the door.

Explanation:

In this case, a force is exerted on the door, a moment is performed and the door is opened. If moment remains constant, the force is inversely proportional to distance respect to axis of rotation passing through hinges. That is:

F \propto \frac{1}{r}

F = \frac{k}{r} (Eq. 1)

Where:

F - Force, measured in newtons.

k - Proportionality ratio, measured in newton-meters.

r - Distance respect to axis of rotation passing through hinges, measured in meters.

From (Eq. 1) we get the following relationship and clear the final force within:

F_{A}\cdot r_{A} = F_{B}\cdot r_{B}

F_{B}=\left(\frac{r_{A}}{r_{B}} \right)\cdot F_{A}(Eq. 2)

Where:

F_{A}, F_{B} - Initial and final forces, measured in newtons.

r_{A}, r_{B} - Initial and final distances, measured in meters.

If we know that F_{A} = 5\,N, r_{A} = 0.9\,m and r_{B} = 0.35\,m, then final force is:

F_{B}= \left(\frac{0.9\,m}{0.35\,m} \right)\cdot (5\,N)

F_{B} = 12.857\,N

A force of 12.857 newtons must be applied to open the door.

What is the force applied to a baseball that has a mass of 142kg and has a acceleration of 30m/s to the power of 2
aev [14]
  • Mass=m=142kg
  • Acceleration=a=30m/s
  • Force=F

Using Newton's second law

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow F=ma

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow F=142(30)

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow F=4260N
