10N right

Explanation:

The 10N of force acting down and up on the object cancel out.

The 15N of force pulling the force to the right is stronger than the 5N of force pulling the object left

15N - 5N = 10N

The magnitude and unit is 10N, and the direction is right

although the pivot exerts a force on the ruler it does not exert a torque with respect to the pivot point. why not?

Answers

Answer:

The situation is not shown, however if one calculates torques about the pivot point, then the pivot point itself exerts no torque because the force applied by the pivot point exerts zero torque because Fp * L = 0 where L = 0 in this case.

If one wants to calculate torques about, say, the end of the ruler then one would need to calculate the torque applied by the pivot point.

A car moving along a straight highway with speed of 126 km 1 h− to brought to stop within a distance of 200 m. how long does it take for the car to stop?

Answers

Answer: 11.43 sec

solution:

v2 – u2 = 2as

a = (v2 – u2)/2s

= (0 – 352)/(2 × 200)

= –1225/400

= –3.06 m/s2  

v = u + at

0 = 35 – 3.06 × t

t = 35/3.06

 = 11.43 sec

a proton, moving east, enters a magnetic field of a certain strength. because of this field the proton curves downward. what is the direction of the magnetic field?

Answers

Answer:

F = q V X B

Using the right hand rule (right hand screw) turn V into B to get direction of force which in this case is down

If V is east and F is down then one can see that B must be directed towards  the south - turn V into B (south) and F will be directed downwards.

A ship left the dock and travelled north at 50km/hr for 2 hours then it turned west at 60km/hr for 3 hours. What is the net resultant displacement vector R

Answers

Answer:

resultant displacement = 20√1o6 km = 205912.6 m in the direction of western north.

Explanation:

assume that the ship started moving from A to B (north at 50km/hr for 2 hours) so the covered distance will be: 50*2 = 100 km

then it moves from B to C so the covered distance will be: 3*60 = 180 km

using Pythagoras, we get the resultant displacement = 20√1o6 km = 205912.6 m in the direction of western north.

A 755 N force is used to push a 15 Kg box across the floor. What is the acceleration of the box?

Answers

Answer:

a = 151/3 m/s²

General Formulas and Concepts:

Forces

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: F = ma

F is force (in N)m is mass (in kg)a is acceleration (in m/s²)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

F = 755 N

m = 15 kg

Step 2: Solve for a

Substitute in variables [Newton's 2nd Law of Motion]:                                 755 N = (15 kg)aIsolate a:                                                                                                            a = 151/3 m/s²

A) 1m/s^2
B) 2 m/s^2
C) 3 m/s^2
D) 4 m/s^2
E) 0.5 m/s^2

Answers

Hi there!

Recall that:

∑F = ma

In the given situation, there is acceleration occurring in the horizontal direction, so there is a net force.

∑F = Fa (Force applied) - Fκ (Force due to kinetic friction)

We can plug in given values to solve for the frictional force:

ma = Fa - Fκ

(4)(1) = 8 - Fκ

4 = 8 - Fk

Fκ= 4N (negative since working opposite to acceleration)

Now, solve given the new force:

4a = 16 - 4

4a = 12

a = 3 m/s², Answer C.
