Answer:

D

Explanation:

If two unequal forces act in opposite directions, one larger force must cancel out the smaller force,

leaving the net force to be some number in one direction.

Take for example a game of tug-of-war; there are two OPPOSITE forces (groups of people) acting on the rope, one force is pulling with a force in the negative direction while the other force is pulling in the positive direction.

If the forces on the rope were unequal, then the stronger force (group) will pull everything in their direction.

The same will happen on two unequal forces of opposite directions acting on a wooden block. Therefore, since the resultant force will have a non-zero magnitude and direction, there will be a change in the block's motion and position.

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. A net force F acts hor

uysha [10]

Answer:

c. $a_m$

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon= $a_m$

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth= $a_e$

$g_m=\frac{1}{6}g_e$

Net force due to am on an object on moon= $F_{net}=ma_m$

There is no friction and no drag force and there is no gravity involved

Then, the force acting on an object on earth= $F=ma_e$

$F=F_{net}$ (given)

$ma_m=ma_e$

$a_e=a_m$

Hence, option c is true.

A crate remains stationary after it has been placed on a ramp inclined at an angle with the horizontal. Which of the following s

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

d. It is equal to the component of the gravitational force acting down the ramp.

Explanation:

The stationary crate is inclined at an angle with the horizontal. The Recall, Frictional Force is any Force that opposes motion.

Because the Force of Friction that is opposing the motion of the crate along the inclination side.

Therefore this Frictional force is balanced or equal to the force that is driving the inclined force.

Hence Frictional Force is equal to the Gravitational Force that is acting in the ramp, that is why the crate is stationery.
