Two forces act on an object. One force has a magnitude of 30N directed west%2C and the other force has a magnitude of 12 N directed east. What is the net force on the object%3F(1 point) Responses 42N west 42N west 18N west 18N west 42 N east 42 N east 18N east
The net force on the object can be found by finding the difference between the two forces.
The force directed west is 30N, and the force directed east is 12N. Subtracting the east force from the west force, we get:
30N - 12N = 18N
Therefore, the net force on the object is 18N directed west.
To find the net force on the object, we need to consider both the magnitudes and directions of the forces.
The force directed west has a magnitude of 30N, and the force directed east has a magnitude of 12N. Since they are in opposite directions, we subtract the smaller magnitude from the larger magnitude to find the net force.
In this case, the magnitude of the force directed west is larger (30N), so we subtract the magnitude of the force directed east (12N) from it:
Net force = 30N - 12N = 18N
So, the net force on the object is 18N. However, the question asks for both the magnitude and direction of the net force.
Since the force directed west is larger, we can say that the net force is acting westward. Therefore, the correct answer is 18N west.
To find the net force on the object, we need to determine the difference between the two forces. Since one force is directed west and the other force is directed east, we can subtract the magnitude of the east force from the magnitude of the west force.
Magnitude of west force = 30 N
Magnitude of east force = 12 N
Net force = Magnitude of west force - Magnitude of east force
Net force = 30 N - 12 N = 18 N
Therefore, the net force on the object is 18 N west.
While driving you hit the brakes and feel your body move forward before the seatbelt stops you. Your body moving forward is an example of (1 point) Responses equilibrium equilibrium friction friction balanced forces balanced forces inertia
Your body moving forward before the seatbelt stops you is an example of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. In this case, your body tends to keep moving forward due to its inertia even when the car decelerates suddenly. The seatbelt then applies a force to bring your body back into equilibrium and stop it from continuing forward.
What type of forces does this box experience and in which direction does it move%3F (1 point) Responses Unbalanced forces and it moves to the right Unbalanced forces and it moves to the right Balanced forces and it doesn't move Balanced forces and it doesn't move Unbalanced forces and it moves to the left Unbalanced forces and it moves to the left Balanced forces and it moves to the left Balanced forces and it moves to the left
To determine the type of forces the box experiences and the direction in which it moves, we need more information. The question doesn't provide any specific forces acting on the box or its initial state of motion. Please provide more context or information to accurately answer the question.
A book is resting on a table in a state of equilibrium. Which statement is true about the forces acting on the book%3F (1 point) Responses The book experiences balanced forces because the force of gravity pushing down on the book is greater. The book experiences balanced forces because the force of gravity pushing down on the book is greater. The force of gravity pulling down the book and the force of the table pushing up on the book are equal. The force of gravity pulling down the book and the force of the table pushing up on the book are equal. The book experiences unbalanced forces from friction%2C gravity and the table. The book experiences unbalanced forces from friction%2C gravity and the table. The book experiences unbalanced forces because the force of gravity pulling down on the book and the force of the table pushing up are equal.
The correct statement is: The force of gravity pulling down the book and the force of the table pushing up on the book are equal.
When an object is in a state of equilibrium, the forces acting on it are balanced. In this case, the force of gravity pulling down on the book is equal to the force exerted by the table pushing up on the book. This balance of forces allows the book to remain at rest on the table.
