A is right because I took the test
Answer:
Balanced force
Explanation:
Balanced Forces, When forces are in balance, acceleration is zero. Velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force. ... Although friction is acting on the person, there is no change in velocity and friction is not a net force in this case. Friction is only a net force if it changes the velocity of a mass.
Geostrophic winds blows parallel to the isobars. That is because the Coriolis force and pressure gradient force ( PGF ) are in balance. But near the surface the friction can act to change the direction of the wind and to slow it down. Coriolis force decreases at the surface and PGF stays the same. The difference in terrain conditions affects how much friction is exerted. Hills and forests force the wind to change direction more than flat areas. Answer: Friction reduces the speed so Coriolis is weakened.
Jack------------ force of 92.5 n eastward-------Fjack(X)=92.5 n Fjack(Y)=0
<span>jill ------------------------------- force of 89.9 n northeast
Fjill(X)=cos45*89.9=63.57 n
</span>Fjill(Y)=sin45*89.9=63.57 n<span>
</span>jane -----------------------------force of 163 n southeast
Fjane(X)=cos45*163=115.26 n
Fjane(X)=-sin45*163=-115.26 n
Ftotal (X)=92.5+63.57+115.26=271.33 n
Ftotal (Y)=0+63.57-115.26=-51.69 n
Fotal=((271.33)^2+(-115.26)^2) ^0.5=294.80 n southeast
the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. is 294.80 n southeast
Answer: C) velocity is a vector and requires a direction.
Explanation:
In physics, there are two types of quantities:
- scalars: these are quantities that have only a magnitude
- vectors: there are quantities that have both magnitude and direction
As an example, speed is a scalar while velocity is a vector. Therefore, speed has only a magnitude, while velocity has both magnitude and direction: therefore, the difference between the two quantities is that velocity is a vector and requires a direction, as stated in option C.
