No, knowing all the forces is not enough to know the direction of motion.

<h3>How to use Newton's laws?</h3>

The second Newton's law states that:

F = m*a

This says <u><em>"force equals mass times acceleration".</em></u>

Where acceleration is the rate of change of the speed. From that equation, we conclude that the acceleration is in the same direction that the net force.

So, if we know all the forces acting on an object, we know the net force acting on it, then we know the direction of the acceleration.

<h3>Is this enough to know the direction in which it is moving?</h3>

No, the object does not need to move in the same direction than its acceleration, the direction of motion will also depend on the initial velocity of the object (if it is initially moving with constant speed).

If we don't know that, we can't find the direction of motion.

An example of this can be a car going at 100km/h east-wise.

Then we apply a net force due west, then we have an acceleration due west. But as the initial direction of motion was east, the car will still move to the east, but the velocity will decrease gradually.

So as you can see in that example, we need to know the initial velocity to know the direction in which the object is moving.

A mass is placed at the end of a spring. It has starting velocity of V &amp; allowed to oscillate freely. If the mass has a star
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Equation for SHM can be written

V = w A cos w t        where w is the angular frequency and the velocity is a                                         maximum at t = 0

V1 = w1  A cos w1 t

V2 = w2 A cos w2 t

V2 / V1 = w2 / w1     since cos X t = 1 if t = zero

V2 / V1 = 2 pi f2 / (2 pi f1) = f2 / f1 = T1 / T2

If the velocity is twice as large the period will be 1/2 long

A rectangular piece of​ cardboard, whose area is 352 square​ centimeters, is made into an open box by cutting a 2​-centimeter sq
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 352 cm²

Side of each square cutting from corner = 2 cm

Volume of box = 432 cm³

Let the two sides are x and y.

The area of the rectangular piece is

xy=352

y=\dfrac{352}{x} -------- (1)

The volume of the rectangular piece

2(x-4)(\dfrac{352}{x}-4)=432

x^2-38x+352=0

(x-16)(x-22)=0

x=16,22

Put the value of x in the equation (I)

For x = 16

y=\dfrac{352}{16}=22

For x = 22

y=\dfrac{352}{22}=16

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m
