Iteru [2.4K]2 years ago

Answer:

The net force acting on an insect falling downward at constant velocity is zero.

Explanation:

The net force acting on an insect falling downward at constant velocity is zero because an object is moving with constant velocity, acceleration of that object is zero because acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. As there is no change in velocity, there is no acceleration.

According to Newton second law of motion, an object of mass m accelerate only when a net force acting on it.

                          F = ma

As there is no acceleration, there is no net force acting on it. So net force is zero.  

                          F = m(0)

                          F = 0

A battery charges a parallel-plate capacitor fully and then is removed. The plates are then slowly pulled apart. What happens to
White raven [17]

Answer:

<h2>The potential difference increases </h2>

Explanation:

from the relation E= \frac{V}{d}

where E= electric field (force per coulomb)

            V= voltage

            d= distance

Hence the voltage is going to be V= E×d.

Therefore this means that increasing the distance increases the voltage.

Two forces F1 and F2 act on a 5.00 kg object. Taking F1=20.0N and F2=15.00N, find the acceleration of the object for the configu
Anit [1.1K]
A) mass m with F1 acting in the positive x direction and F2 acting perpendicular in the positive y direction<span>

m = 5.00 kg
F1=20.0N  ... x direction
F2=15.00N</span><span>  ... y direction

Net force ^2 = F1^2 + F2^2 = (20N)^2 + (15n)^2 =  625N^2 =>

Net force = √625 = 25N

F = m*a => a = F/m = 25.0 N /5.00 kg = 5 m/s^2

Answer: 5.00 m/s^2

b) mass m with F1 acting in the positive x direction and F2 acting on the object at 60 degrees above the horizontal. </span>

<span>m = 5.00 kg
F1=20.0N  ... x direction
F2=15.00N</span><span>  ... 60 degress above x direction

Components of F2

F2,x = F2*cos(60) = 15N / 2 = 7.5N

F2, y = F2*sin(60) = 15N* 0.866 = 12.99 N ≈ 13 N


Total force in x = F1 + F2,x = 20.0 N + 7.5 N = 27.5 N

Total force in y = F2,y = 13.0 N

Net force^2 = (27.5N)^2 + (13.0N)^2 = 925.25 N^2 = Net force = √(925.25N^2) =

= 30.42N

a = F /m = 30.42 N / 5.00 kg = 6.08 m/s^2

Answer: 6.08 m/s^2

Step 8: Observe How Changes in the Speed of the Bottle Affect Beanbag Height
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

When the speed of the bottle is 2 m/s, the average maximum height of the beanbag is <u>0.10</u>  m.

When the speed of the bottle is 3 m/s, the average maximum height of the beanbag is<u> 0.43</u>  m.

When the speed of the bottle is 4 m/s, the average maximum height of the beanbag is  <u>0.87</u> m.

When the speed of the bottle is 5 m/s, the average maximum height of the beanbag is  <u>1.25</u> m.

When the speed of the bottle is 6 m/s, the average maximum height of the beanbag is  <u>1.86</u> m.
