Applying force at the free end of a door increases the distance from the hinge, creating a greater torque which helps overcome the resistance of the door's weight. This leverage amplifies the force applied, making it easier to open the door with less effort.

When you pull a door open if the force the door exerts on you is equal to the force you exert on the door why dont you move?

-- The door's force on your hand is not necessarily equal to the force of your hand on the door. If it were, then the sum of the forces at the hand-door interface would be zero, and there would be no acceleration there to open the door. The point where the action and reaction are equal is the point in your arm where the muscle is anchored to the bone. Or better yet, between your feet and the floor. -- You weigh more than the door weighs. So equal forces on you and on the door produce more acceleration and more speed of the door than of you. (For the same reason that the rifle recoils at a slower speed than the bullet's muzzle velocity.) -- If you were on hinges, or on ice skates, then you would move too. The door's mounting arrangement is built in such a way that it's more free to move than you are, when your feet are planted and you're using your legs to keep you upright.


What are some common strategies for solving force problems in physics?

Some common strategies for solving force problems in physics include breaking down the problem into components, drawing free-body diagrams, applying Newton's laws of motion, and using vector addition to find the net force acting on an object.

Why is it easier to pull down the branch of a tree from it's free end than from anywhere else?

Pulling down a branch from its free end is easier because this position maximizes the lever arm distance from the pivot point (the branch's attachment to the tree). The force applied at the end creates a greater torque compared to applying the same force closer to the trunk, where the lever arm is shorter. This results in less force being needed to overcome the branch's resistance and allows for more effective bending.


If you push on a door one force is directed on the door according to newtons third law what is the directon of newtons second force?

As the door is free to move in our case, then no reaction as per your expectation ie the second force named as newton's second force, by you. The force applied would act as torque as it gets a chance to make an angular displacement of the door about the axis of rotation. Hence work will be done by the force applied.

Make a vip door on roblox?

You can custom build a VIP door, but it is much easier to use one from the free models. When you insert one find the admins list and add whoever you want to the list. There is also a line of code that you can delete if you do not want a killing VIP door.

When you're driving in a car and turn a corner centripetal force from the door of the car helps you move along the circular path of the corner?

Centripetal force acts on all masses subjected to the cornering force. The whole vehicle has centripetal force acting on the tires, via friction, allowing the vehicle to corner. If you are free to move within the vehicle, yes, the door will stop you being flung outward.

How do you change the inside door handle on 1999 Hyundai Elantra 4 door 4 cylinder?

Unscrew the door handle. Unscrew the "cup" you pull on to close the door. Unscrew the rest of the screws around the bottom and rear of the door panel. Slide the door handle sideways and pull it free. You will need to unclip the long metal rods from the back of the handle, which may be easier with your arm inside the door panel.Put it back the opposite of how you took it apart.Stocker @ http://www.rdtiburon.com/David @ http://votefordavid.blogspot.com


Is it free to have a Nintendo membership?

It depends on what you are applying for. Applying for the site, MyNintendo, and other similar services is free. Online service for any Nintendo system is free as well (The only cost for the Nintendo Wii is $5 for the Web Browser, but it is well worth the price).
