What will be net force be if net forces are unbalanced?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: If the forces on an object are balanced, the net force is zero. If the forces are unbalanced forces, the effects don't cancel each other. Any time the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the net force is not zero, and the motion of the object changes.

valkas [14]

Complete Question:

Football player A has a mass of 110 kg, and he is running down the field with a velocity of 2 m/s. Football player B has a mass of 120 kg and is stationary. What is the total momentum after the collision?

Answer:

Total momentum = 220 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

For footballer A

Mass, M1 = 110kg

Velocity, V1 = 2m/s

For footballer B

Mass, M1 = 120kg

Velocity, V1 = 0m/s since he's stationary.

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

$Momentum = mass * velocity$

a. To find the momentum of A;

$Momentum \; A = 110 * 2$

Momentum A = 220 Kgm/s.

b. To find the momentum of B;

$Momentum \; B = 120 * 0$

Momentum B = 0 Kgm/s.

c. To find the total momentum of the two persons;

$Total \; momentum = Momentum \; A + Momentum \; B$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Total \; momentum = 220 + 0$

<em>Total momentum = 220 Kgm/s. </em>

A railroad car of mass 2.50*10^4 kg is moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroa

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 m/s

(b) 37.5 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum

$mV_1+3mV_2=(m+3m)V_f=4mV_f$

$V_1+3V_2=4V_f$ and making $V_f$ the subject then

$V_f=\frac {V_1+3V_2}{4}$ and since $V_1$ is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s, $V_2$ is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and $v_f$ is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution

$V_f=\frac {4+(3\times2)}{4}=2.5 m/s$

(b)

Initial kinetic energy is given by

$\frac {mV_1^{2}}{2}+\frac {3mV_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {m(V_1^{2}+3V_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {2.5\times 10^{4}(4^{2}+3(2^{2}))}{2}=350\times10^{3} J= 350 KJ$

Final kinetic energy is given by

$\frac {4mV_f^{2}}{2}=\frac {4\times 2.5\times 10^{4}\times 2.5^{2}}{2}=312.5\times 10^{3} J=312.5 KJ$

The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence

Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ

The position of a ball rolling in a straight line is given by x=2−3.6t+4.4t2, where x is in meters and t in seconds.

kobusy [5.1K]

I'm assuming the question is time it will take for ball to reach ground, if it is then set equation to zero then use the quadratic formula, the possible t value is your answer then

What are tectonic plates, and which of Earht's layers are they composed of?

motikmotik

The tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere. hope this helps :)

saul85 [17]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Magnification. Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a calculated number also called "magnification".

The overall magnification of microscope is

$M = \frac{Nl}{f_ef_0}$
