Answer:

★ For example, a useful analogy for explaining the Earth's gravity force is that the Earth can pull on objects without touching them just like a magnet can affect other objects without touching them. In Addition, the main notion to convey here is that forces can act at a distance with no perceivable substance in between.

Two upwards forces act: one of 34N which is 3.5m to the left of the axle, the other is 25N and is 2.6m to the right of the axle.

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, you want to know if you put an object between these forces, which direction would go.

To know this, we need to calculate the moment of an object, which is defined as the product of a force and it's distance. In other words:

M = F * d (1)

And, in order to reach equilibrium the force will exert a direction in clockwise or anticlosewise, and these moments, should be even:

anticlockwise moment = clockwise moment.

The clockwise would be the forces to the right, and anticlock would the only force to the left of the axle.

Clockwise moment = (10 * 0.8) + (25 * 2.6) = 73 Ns

Anticlockwise moment = 34 * 3.5 = 119 Ns.

As we can see, the moment in the anticlockwise is higher than the actual clockwise moment, therefore, we can assume that the object will move anticlockwise, or simply move to the left.

Hope this helps

A snowball that will be used to build a snowman is at the top of a only hill. If the

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

h = 24.11 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The potential energy of the snowball is 520 J

The mass of the snowball is 2.2 kg

We need to find the height of the hill. The potential energy of an object is given by the formula as follows :

$E=mgh$

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is height of the hill

$h=\dfrac{E}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{520}{2.2\times 9.8}\\\\h=24.11\ m$

So, the height of the hill is 24.11 m.

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1.5 seconds

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The force has been reduced by 8018 N

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the car during the crash is equal to the product of the force exerted and the duration of the collision, and it is also equal to the change in momentum of the car. So we can write:

$F\Delta t = m\Delta v$
