What is the definition of balanced forces? i need help i cnt find the definition on dictionary.com

1 answer:

8 0

Any group of 2 or more forces is balanced if the sum of all of their strengths and directions adds up to zero. Here's an example that I just made up:. Take 50 ropes. Tie one end of every rope all together into one big fat knot, and then have a tug of war in 50 different directions. Get 10 football players and 40 cheerleaders to each take the end of one rope, then everybody spread out and start pulling. It's possible that if everybody stood in just the right place, they might all cancel each other out, and the big knot in the center might just hang there and not move at all ... just as if there was NO FORCE on it at all. If that happened, we would know that the group of 50 forces acting on the knot is "balanced".

A. A land speed car can decelerate at 9.8m/s. How long does it take the car to come to a complete stop from a run of 885 km/hr (

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A. 25.08 s

B. 3082.53 m

C. 3×10⁵ m/s²

Explanation:

A. Determination of the time.

This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Acceleration (a) = –9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 245.8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time (t) =.?

v = u + at

0 = 245.8 + (–9.8 × t)

0 = 245.8 – 9.8t

Collect like terms

0 – 245.8 = – 9.8t

– 245.8 = – 9.8t

Divide both side by –9.8

t = –245.8 / –9.8

t = 25.08 s

Therefore, it will take 25.08 s for the car to come to a complete stop.

B. Determination of the distance travelled by the car.

Acceleration (a) = –9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 245.8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 245.8² + (2 × –9.8 × s)

0 = 60417.64 – 19.6s

Collect like terms

0 – 60417.64 = – 19.6s

– 60417.64 = – 19.6s

Divide both side by –19.6

s = –60417.64 / –19.6

s = 3082.53 m

Thus, the car travelled a distance of 3082.53 m before stopping completely.

C. Determination of the acceleration of the object.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 600 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.6 m

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

600² = 0² + (2 × a × 0.6)

360000 = 0 + 1.2a

360000 = 1.2a

Divide both side by 1.2

a = 360000 / 1.2

a = 300000 = 3×10⁵ m/s²

A 60 W light bulb is powered by a connection to a wall outlet with 120 V across the plug terminals. a) What is the current passi

Oxana [17]

Answer:

The current through the resistor is 0.5 A

Explanation:

Given;

power of the light bulb = 60 W

voltage in the wall outlet across the plug terminals = 120 V

power of the light bulb is the product of voltage in the wall outlet across the plug terminals and the current passing through the resistor.

power = voltage x current

$Current = \frac{power}{voltage} = \frac{60}{120} = 0.5 A$

Therefore, for a 60 W light bulb powered by a connection to a wall outlet with 120 V across the plug terminals, the current passing through the resistor is 0.5 A
