Mechanics

Mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the interactions of objects and forces in the observable world. Questions asking about projectile motion, conservation of energy, and calculus based mechanics are perfect for this topic, but questions about repairs that a mechanic would do belong in our vehicles categories.

What is circular motion?

Circular Motion -a motion along a circular path or the motion of an object in a circular

Example -blades of a ceiling fan when the fan is switched on.

or

The motion of body along the circular path is called circular motion

Ignoring air resistance a bullet fired horizontally has how many forces acting on it after leaving the rifle?

One. Only the bullet's weight. In this case, the bullet would not decelerate and will keep moving at muzzle velocity until it hits the ground.

What happens if two pieces of metal touch in space?

When the crew of the International Space Station change they have to be careful of static electricity charges between the ISS and the craft they flew up in. This is the only thing that could happen

What is the specific point of center of mass lie?

The position of the specific point of center of mass is the point at which the object could be modeled to have all of its mass acting for all intensive purposes.

What is the Formula for Force required to accelerate an object to a predetermined speed?

There is no specific force required to accelerate an object to a predetermined speed.

A smaller force will produce a smaller acceleration, so it will take longer to reach the desired speed.

A larger force will produce a larger acceleration, so the desired speed will be reached sooner.

But either the large or the small force, or any other force, will produce an acceleration, and cause

the object to reach the specified speed sooner or later.

What is the principle of propulsion?

It is create a difference in pressure artificially by exploding or burning a fuel inside a closed chamber and evacuating the pressure suitably

Why do you multiply to find the total mechanical advantage?

The "Ideal Mechanical Advantage" of a simple machine is

IMA = output force /input force . To find the 'actual' or real-world mechanical advantage,

multiply the IMA by the machine's efficiency.

What is an example of tangential and centripetal acceleration?

If an object follows a circular path, it must have a centripetal force on it to keep it moving in a circle. Centripetal means "toward the center of the circle". The force causes Centripetal acceleration toward the center witch is along the radius of the circular path.

Tangential acceleration occurs at a Tangent to the circular path and is always perpendicular to the centripetal acceleration. Always perpendicular to the radius of the circle.

What is the moment of inertia of a rod?

The moment of inertia of a cube depends on what its axis of rotation is. About an axis perpendicular to one of its sides and through the centre of the cube is (ML2)/6. Where M is the Mass of the Cube and L the length of its side. Due to the symmetry of the cube, you can find the Moment of Inertia about almost any other axis by using Parallel and Perpendicular Axis Theorems.

In what ways are sound waves like ocean waves?

Sound waves are like ocean waves because it resembles an ocean wave with crests (peak) and troughs (valleys). The crests indicate regions of high pressure and the troughs, low pressure.

What is work done if there is nodisplacement is 0?

Work Done = Force x Displacement, so if the displacement is zero, the work done will be zero. There will be no work done.

What is the kind of motion that causes objects to move in a circle?

The kind of motion that causes objects to move in a circle is formed or produced when the object is suspended from another object that is stationary. And because the moving object is suspended it will be subject to gravity which will cause it to move in a circle or circular-like motion. The actual kind or cause of the motion is a simple swaying or arc-like motion.

How low or high a sound seems?

Sound is pressure waves travelling through the air.

The brain can detect the difference in sound frequency, based on the distance between pressure waves, by the ear which physically responds to incoming sound waves. Volume, frequency and direction are identified, then translated and sent to the brain as electrical signals.

Is MgO an ionic bond?

Yes, magnesium oxide is ioinic, as it consists of a metal ion reacting with a non-metal ion.

What angle a projectile thrown to achieve maximum horizontal distance traveled?

A trajectory of 45 degrees elevation gives the longest horizontal travel- (not taking air drag into consideration nor any aerodynamic properties of a projectile.

What are the wave lengths of the different colors of light?

- Long wavelengths

- Mid-size wavelengths

- Short wavelengths

The reddish colors are the long wavelengths, the mid-size wavelengths are the greenish colors and the short wavelengths are the bluish colors.

Are there no force acting on an object if the accelaration of the object if zero?

Not exactly. If the acceleration of the object is zero, there might be no force acting

on it, but there could also be no net force acting on it. That means that there could

be a bunch of different forces acting on it, with different strengths and directions, but

they all add up to zero.

What is the unit of inertia?

Since inertia is represented numerically by an object's mass.

Unit of inertia in S.I UNIT is Kilogram

What is time dependent forces?

Time dependent forces mean that a force changes, and is not constant. Therefore, acceleration of an object is also not constant if the force is changing.

What is the effect of gravity on a person in elevator?

The effect of gravity on a person in an elevator is exactly the same as it is anywhere

else. The person and the Earth are attracted toward each other by equal forces whose

strength depends on the product of their masses and the distance between their centers.

The person feels heavier when he starts a trip going up or finishes one going down, and

he feels lighter when he starts a trip going down or finishes one going up. But that's the

effect of the elevator, not the effect of gravity.
