a rock with a mass of 10.0 kg is balanced on top of a large boulder. describe the forces acting on the rock, and use the concept

of forces to explain why it stays on top the boulder.
Physics

denis-greek [22]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

The forces acting on the rock include Normal Force, Gravitational force & Friction force

It's possible for it to stay on the boulder because the normal force balances it's weight. also because static friction acts on the boulder up to it's limiting friction even if it were on an attempt to move as a result of air resistance. gravitational forces act upon it by mainly affecting it it's weight. as altitude increases, it's weight decreases since gravity varies from a height to another.

Which does not represent a change in velocity?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A balloon is floating up into the air at 1 m/s.

Explanation:

Velocity is the displacement divided by the time;

   Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

It is a vector quantity that has magnitude and direction.

The choice that shows a change in direction is a correct specification of velocity.

A balloon floating up into the air at 1m/s shows no directional change.

A force of 20.0 N is applied to a 3.00 kg object for 4.00 seconds. Calculate the impulse experienced by the object.​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Impulse = 80Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 3kg

Force = 20N

Time = 4 seconds

To find the impulse experienced by the object;

Impulse = force * time

Impulse = 20*4

Impulse = 80Ns

Therefore, the impulse experienced by the object is 80 Newton-seconds.
