If you pull an object horizontally, what part of your force does work?

1 answer:

6 0

Only part of your force does work because your force has both a horizontal part and a vertical part. When you pull this way, only part in the same direction as the motion of the suitcase does work. ... The force you exert and the distance that the object moves.

Is gravity a field force

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Yes, it is because gravity is a force of attraction to the center of our planet, Earth. If we drop a pencil, the pencil will go on the floor. Gravity is pulling the pencil down.

please help! find magnitude and direction (the counterclockwise angle with the +x axis) of a vector that is equal to a + c

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

From the figure attached,

Horizontal component, $A_x=A\text{Sin}37$

$A_x=12[\text{Sin}(37)]$

= 7.22 m

Vertical component, $A_y=A[\text{Cos}(37)]$

= 9.58 m

Similarly, Horizontal component of vector C,

$C_x$ = C[Cos(60)]

= 6[Cos(60)]

= $\frac{6}{2}$

= 3 m

$C_y=6[\text{Sin}(60)]$

= 5.20 m

Resultant Horizontal component of the vectors A + C,

$R_x=7.22-3=4.22$ m

$R_y=9.58-5.20$ = 4.38 m

Now magnitude of the resultant will be,

From ΔOBC,

$R=\sqrt{(R_x)^{2}+(R_y)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(4.22)^2+(4.38)^2}$

= $\sqrt{17.81+19.18}$

= 6.1 m

Direction of the resultant will be towards vector A.

tan(∠COB) = $\frac{\text{CB}}{\text{OB}}$

= $\frac{R_y}{R_x}$

= $\frac{4.38}{4.22}$

m∠COB = $\text{tan}^{-1}(1.04)$

= 46°

Therefore, magnitude of the resultant vector will be 6.1 m and direction will be 46°.

Option (2) will be the answer.

Why are we not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere on our shoulders?

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)

Explanation:

We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.

Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

$P=\rho.g.h$

$\rho=$ density of fluid

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.

And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.

A flat sheet of ice has a thickness of 2.20 cm. It is on top of a flat sheet of crystalline quartz that has a thickness of 1.50

kolezko [41]

Answer:

$Distance_{vaccum}=5.19cm$

Explanation:

The speed of light in these mediums shall be lower than that in vacuum thus the total time light needs to cross both the media are calculated as under

Total time = Time taken through ice + Time taken through quartz

Time taken through ice = Thickness of ice / (speed of light in ice)

$T_{ice}=\frac{2.20\times 10^{-2} \times \mu _{ice}}{V_{vaccum}}$
