When you jump, you exert a pushing force against the ground. Gravity pulls you back down. Why can a person jump higher on the mo

on than on Earth?

Answer:

This is because the force of gravity is much less on the moon than on the earth, therefore the person wont be pulled down much and will jump higher

How do force affect the acceleration of a body?<br><br>

Arada [10]

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

Work out the kinetic energy of a 2.5 kg remote-controlled car that is moving at 2 m/s.

lbvjy [14]

Answer: 5 joules

Explanation:

mass=m=2.5kg

Velocity=v=2m/s

Kinetic energy=ke

ke=(m x v x v)/2

ke=(2.5 x 2 x 2)/2

Ke=10/2

Ke=5

Kinetic energy=5 joules

V=u+at
v=10+(-1.4 (4))
=10-5.6
=4.4m/s

In unit-vector notation, what is the torque about the origin on a particle located at coordinates (0 m, −3.0 m, 2.0 m) due to fo

irinina [24]

Answer:

The torque about the origin is $2.0Nm\hat{i}-8.0Nm\hat{j}-12.0Nm\hat{k}$

Explanation:

Torque $\overrightarrow{\tau}$ is the cross product between force $\overrightarrow{F}$ and vector position $\overrightarrow{r}$ respect a fixed point (in our case the origin):

$\overrightarrow{\tau}=\overrightarrow{r}\times\overrightarrow{F}$

There are multiple ways to calculate a cross product but we're going to use most common method, finding the determinant of the matrix:

$\overrightarrow{r}\times\overrightarrow{F} =-\left[\begin{array}{ccc} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k}\\ F1_{x} & F1_{y} & F1_{z}\\ r_{x} & r_{y} & r_{z}\end{array}\right]$

$\overrightarrow{r}\times\overrightarrow{F} =-((F1_{y}r_{z}-F1_{z}r_{y})\hat{i}-(F1_{x}r_{z}-F1_{z}r_{x})\hat{j}+(F1_{x}r_{y}-F1_{y}r_{x})\hat{k})$

$\overrightarrow{r}\times\overrightarrow{F} =-((0(2.0m)-0(-3.0m))\hat{i}-((4.0N)(2.0m)-(0)(0))\hat{j}+((4.0N)(-3.0m)-0(0))\hat{k})$

$\overrightarrow{r}\times\overrightarrow{F}=-2.0Nm\hat{i}+8.0Nm\hat{j}+12.0Nm\hat{k}=\overrightarrow{\tau}$
