What equation allows you to calculate the force acting on an object?
The force acting upon an object is calculated in Newtons (N). You would weigh the force and determine it by 1N = kg x m/s^2.
When the net force equals zero?
A net force of zero means that an object behaves as if there are no forces acting upon it, although this may not be the case. Usually objects have many forces acting upon them. Just your computer that is sitting on your desk is experiencing a force of gravity, the force from the table pushing up on the computer, a frictional force holding the computer in place, etc. We can add the effects of these forces to determine one force that produces the same effect as every force that acts upon the object. This is called the principle of superpostion, which states that every force can be added to other forces to find a single net force. In the case of the computer, the force of gravity is cancelled out by the force of the table pushing up on the computer. So far we have zero force. The force of friction will resist any force that you exert upon the computer, so that force is also zero. As long as your computer is at rest and not sliding across the table, it is experiencing zero net force, while there are really many forces acting upon it.
A ball is thrown straight up into the air at what position is its gravitational potential energy maximum?
Kinetic energy is at its maximum when the velocity of the ball is greatest. This will occur immediately upon release. Air resistance will slow the ball from this point and unless the ball falls back past its original starting height, it will never achieve a velocity greater than that with which it starts.
What is two or more forces that act on an object and do not cancel each other?
Forces act by means of exchange particles. There are four basic forces (which operate in numerous different ways) each having its own exchange particle. The force of gravity is conveyed by the graviton. The electromagnetic force is conveyed by the photon. The two nuclear forces are conveyed by mesons. A particle that is exerting a force will emit an exchange particle, and a particle which is experiencing a force will absorb that exchange particle. That is essentially how it works, on a subatomic level. There are also mathematical equations which describe the forces, for example, the electromagnetic force is described by Coulomb's Law.
2 examples of applied forces causes change in the shape of the object?
When the force is a balanced force there is no movement. So when the balanced force is acted upon an object that is malleable, the object will change shape to accommodate the force since it cannot move. just to restate it a different way Basically it must be a balanced force to change an object's shape. In the case that the object is malleable the object will change shape until more force is necessary to change it's shape. example if two boys use the same neuton of force
What shape does the path of a thrown ball follow?
The ball follows a parabolic path when thrown. In a vacuum (with no air or other forces acting upon it) the gravitational pull of the earth causes the ball to accelerate toward the earth (9.8m/sec
What force act upon a glider in flight?
The forces acting on a flying ball are:1. The frictional force exerted by air on the motion of the ball.2. The gravitational force of the earth, of course.
What is applied force?
it is the force acting upon an object
The force produce by gravity acting on mass is known as?
The force acting upon it is energy.
The force acting upon an object the greater the acceleration of the object?
The larger the force acting upon an object, the greater the acceleration of the object.
Conditions in which the body is accelerating?
According to Newton's laws, the conditions in which a body accelerates are only those in which a force is acting upon it. With no force acting upon it, a body would not accelerate. With a force acting upon it, it would accelerate by an amount proportional to the force and inversely proportional to its mass.
What is the force acting upon a projectile?
gravity
When you are running on a road you are acted upon by frictional force of the road.Is there another force of friction acting on you?
When you are running on a road ,you are acted upon by frictional force of the road.Is there another force of friction acting on you ? name and explain
What is the only force acting upon a projectile?
gravity
When a ball is rolling and stopped with your fingers is force or work applied?
Newton's 2nd Law says if the momentum of a body is changing there is a forcing acting upon it. If the ball moves your fingers, then work is done by it.
What do you get when you combine all the forces acting upon an object?
The net force acting on the object.
What forces are acting upon an egg as it drops?
Gravitational force
