Chapter 2: Q8P (page 82)

Question:A system is acted upon by two forces,18,47,-23Nand-20,-13,41N. What is the net force acting on the system?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The net force acting on the system is-2,34,18N

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the definition of the net force

A force is described as a push or pull on an object that occurs due to the interaction of one system with a different system. When two items interact, each of them experiences a force.

02

Calculation for the net force

To calculate the net force acting on this system, combine all forces.

Add both the given forces as

Fnet→F1→+F2→

Substitute the values in the above expression.

F→net=18,47,-23N+-20,-13,41N=-2,34,18N

Therefore, the net force acting on the system is-2,34,18N

You may have noticed that while discharging a capacitor through a light bulb, the light glows just about as brightly, and for just about as long, as it does while charging the same capacitor through the same bulb. Let Estand for the energy emitted by the light bulb (as light and heat) in the discharging phase, from just before the bulb is connected to the capacitor until the time when there is essentially no more current. In terms of +Eor -E, what was the energy change of the battery, capacitor, bulb, and surroundings during the charging phase, and during the discharging phase? One answer is already given in the following table:

It is somewhat surprising that we can get this much information out of one simple observation.

A spacecraft traveling at a velocity of <-20,-90,40>m/sis observed to be at a location <200,300,-500>relative to an origin located on a nearby asteroid. At a later time the spacecraft is at location <-380,-2310,660>m.

(a)How long did it take the spacecraft to travel between these locations?

(b)How far did the spacecraft travel?

(c)What is the speed of the spacecraft?

(d)What is the unit vector in the direction of the spacecraft’s velocity?
