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".

Two identical satellites are in orbit about the earth. One orbit has a radius r and the other 2r. The centripetal force on the s

velikii [3]

Answer:

the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.

Explanation:

Mass of satellite, m

orbit radius of first, r1 = r

orbit radius of second, r2 = 2r

Centripetal force is given by

$F= \frac{mv^{2}}{r}$

Where v be the orbital velocity, which is given by

$v=\sqrt{gr}$

So, the centripetal force is given by

$F= \frac{mgr}}{r}}=mg$

where, g bet the acceleration due to gravity

$g=\frac{GM}{r^{2}}$

So, the centripetal force

$F= \frac{GMm}}{r^{2}}}$

Gravitational force on the satellite having larger orbit

$F= \frac{GMm}{4r^{2}}$ .... (1)

Gravitational force on the satellite having smaller orbit

$F'= \frac{GMm}{r^{2}}$ .... (2)

Comparing (1) and (2),

F' = 4 F

So, the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.

The force on the spring is F0 and it stores elastic potential energy PEs0. If the spring displacement is tripled to 3x0, determi

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL) =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW) =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9

During a compression at a constant pressure of 290 Pa, the volume of an ideal gas decreases from 0.62 m3 to 0.21 m3. The initial

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a) -41.1 Joule

b) 108.38 Kelvin

Explanation:

Pressure = P = 290 Pa

Initial volume of gas = V₁ = 0.62 m³

Final volume of gas = V₂ = 0.21 m³

Initial temperature of gas = T₁ = 320 K

Heat loss = Q = -160 J

Work done = PΔV

⇒Work done = 290×(0.21-0.62)

⇒Work done = -118.9 J

a) Change in internal energy = Heat - Work

ΔU = -160 -(-118.9)

⇒ΔU = -41.1 J

∴ Change in internal energy is -41.1 J

b) V₁/V₂ = T₁/T₂

⇒T₂ = T₁V₂/V₁

⇒T₂ = 320×0.21/0.62

⇒T₂ = 108.38 K

∴ Final temperature of the gas is 108.38 Kelvin
