From britaññica it said time and money. They didn’t have either to switch over from the industrial period and never did. Also from my own person reasoning i think most of the world uses not US customary, so to make stuff more accessible. hope this helps!

We experience fictitious forces due to: a. Rotation of a reference frame b. Inertial reference frames c. Translational motion d.
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

A fictional force (also called force of inertia, pseudo-force, or force of d'Alembert, 5), is a force that appears when describing a movement with respect to a non-inertial reference system, and that therefore it does not correspond to a genuine force in the context of the description of the movement that Newton's laws are enunciated for inertial reference systems.

The forces of inertia are, therefore, corrective terms to the real forces, which ensure that the formalism of Newton's laws can be applied unchanged to phenomena described with respect to a non-inertial reference system. The correct answer is A.

A force is applied to a block sliding along a surface (Figure 2). The magnitude of the force is 15 N, and the horizontal compone
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2}  }

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\  F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\  F_{y}=14.3 [N]

A ball is tossed vertically upward. When it reaches its highest point (before falling back downward) Group of answer choices the
nignag [31]

Answer:

the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward

Explanation:

Is this exercise in kinematics

          v = v₀ - g t

where g is the acceleration of the ball, which is created by the attraction of the ball to the Earth.

At the highest point

velocity must be zero.

The acceleration depends on the Earth therefore it is constant at this point and with a downward direction.

The force of the earth on the ball is towards the center of the Earth, that is, down

all other alternatives are wrong

Jill can use a force of 12.0 N to lift a single box up 5.00 m. How many of these boxes must she lift it in a minute to use 60.0
Mama L [17]

Answer:

60 boxes

Explanation:

The work done by lifting a single box is equal to the force applied (the weight of the box) times the displacement of the box:

W_1 = Fd=(12.0 N)(5.00 m)=60 J

Power is related to the work done by the equation:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t is the time. In this problem, we are told that the power used is P=60.0 W, while the time taken is t = 1 min = 60 s, so the total work done must be

W=Pt=(60.0 W)(60 s)=3600 J

Therefore, the number of boxes that she has to lift in order to use this power is the total work divided by the work done in lifting each box:

N=\frac{W}{W_1}=\frac{3,600 J}{60 J}=60
