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.
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.
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.
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 force is not acting upon a ball that is thrown in the air?
The force of friction is not acting upon a ball that is thrown in the air. Friction is a force that opposes motion, but when a ball is thrown in the air, there is no surface contact for friction to act upon.
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
How will the speed of a ball thrown upward and a ball thrown downward compare upon striking the ground?
The speed of a ball thrown upward upon striking the ground will be the same as the speed at which it was thrown, but in the opposite direction. The speed of a ball thrown downward upon striking the ground will be faster than the speed at which it was thrown due to the acceleration from gravity.
When you throw a ball what are the forces acting upon it?
When you throw a ball, the main forces acting upon it are gravity, which pulls it downward, and the force of your throw, which propels it forward. Air resistance or drag also acts against the ball's motion, slowing it down as it travels through the air.
How does the size of an object affect the force of gravity acting upon it?
The force of gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that the larger the object, the greater the force of gravity acting upon it.
What is the force acting upon a projectile?
gravity
When a ball bounces back to the ground because of gravity right?
Yes, when a ball is thrown upwards, it will eventually fall back down to the ground due to the force of gravity acting upon it. Gravity causes objects to be attracted towards the center of the Earth, making them fall downwards when they are not supported.
Why do objects fall to the ground when thrown upward?
Objects fall back to the ground when thrown upward due to the force of gravity acting upon them. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, causing them to accelerate downwards. When an object is thrown up, it loses its upward velocity and gravity then pulls it back towards the ground.
What is a projetile?
A projectile is an object that is propelled through the air by a force, such as a bullet from a gun or a ball thrown by hand. It follows a ballistic trajectory and can cause damage upon impact.
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.
Why does a ball bounce when it is thrown kick dribbled or hit?
When a ball is thrown, kicked, dribbled, or hit, it compresses upon impact with the ground or surface. The compression stores potential energy in the ball, which is then released as kinetic energy when the ball bounces back. The force of the bounce is determined by various factors like the material and elasticity of the ball, the surface it impacts, and the angle and speed of the impact.
