If an object is not moving are the forces acting on it balanced? Yes or no?why?

Physics
1 answer:
xxMikexx [17]3 years ago
6 0

This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:

Net Force = (mass) x (zero)

or  Net Force = (zero) .

"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.

So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.

A 300-kg bear grasping a vertical tree slides down at constant velocity. the friction force between the tree and the bear is:___
Nady [450]

3000 N of friction exists between the bear and the tree.

The bear goes down at a constant speed, thus there is no acceleration. The forces add up to zero. As a result, upward friction and downward weight result in zero  

i.e.,

F-mg=0

F = mg

F = (300 kg)/10 m/s^{2} (gravitational acceleration)

3000 N frictional force equals F.

How does friction force work?

  • Friction is the force that prevents two solid objects from rolling or sliding over one another. Even though frictional forces, such as the traction required to walk without slipping, may be advantageous, they can also be a significant hindrance to motion.

Between solid surfaces, there are three basic types of friction:

  • Rolling
  • Sliding.
  • Static.                                                                                                                   They are graded from strongest to weakest. Fluid friction happens when liquids or gasses are mixed together.

Two loudspeakers are placed on a wall 2 m apart. A listener stands directly in front of one of the speakers, 81.7 m from the wal
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The phase difference is       \Delta \phi = 1.9995 rad  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The distance between the  loudspeakers is d = 2m

     The distance of the listener from the wall  D = 81.7 \ m

     The frequency of the  loudspeakers is  f = 4450Hz

      The velocity of sound is v_s = 343 m/s

     

The path difference of the sound wave that is getting to the listener is mathematically represented as

        \Delta z  =\sqrt{d^2 + D^2} -D

Substituting values

        \Delta z  =\sqrt{2^2 + 81.7^2 } -81.7

       \Delta z  =0.0245m

The phase difference is mathematically represented as

           \Delta \phi =  \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda } *  \Delta z

Where \lambda is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

          \lambda  = \frac{v_s }{f}

substituting value  

          \lambda  = \frac{343 }{4450}

        \lambda  = 0.0770 m

Substituting value into the  equation for phase difference

      \Delta \phi =  \frac{2 * 3.142 * 0.0245}{0.0770}

      \Delta \phi = 1.9995 rad

"How did your current and voltage measurements differ between the series and parallel circuits you created
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Series circuit:

The voltage that is measured across the circuit is different.

The current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

Parallel circuit:

The current measured across each resistor varies

The voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

Explanation:

Series and parallel circuits behave differently when it comes to the circulation of current and the interaction with a potential difference.

In a series circuit, the resistances are connected end to end. As a result, the voltage that is measured across the circuit is different once resistance is encountered. However, the current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

A parallel circuit behaves in an exactly opposite manner to the series circuit. In a parallel circuit, the resistances are connected side by side. As a result of this, the current measured across each resistor varies as there are circuit branches through which electric current can flow into. On the other hand, the voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same
