Choose the correct two answer choices of the objects forces acting on each other identified in the appropriate directions.
The force of gravity of the table pulling down on the lamp
The force of gravity of the lamp pulling down on the the table
The normal force of the lamp pushing up on the desk
the normal force of the desk pushing up on the lamp
Are the net forces of this object at equilibrium?
yes, the Y component of the net forces are opposite in direction, so they cancel out. And the X component of the net forces are opposite in direction so they cancel out.
ΣF=0No, the net forces add up to 14 N. ΣF = 14N
If this box's net forces are at equalibrium, is it possible that the box could still be in motion?
yes, if it was originally in motion when these forces were applied. Since the net force equals zero, there would be no change in motion.
no, a net force in equilibrium means 0, therefore, it is at rest.
Assuming this object was originally at rest, will the net force cause an acceleration, (a change in its motion)? If so, in what direction will it accelerate?
No, the net forces are balanced, therefore in equilibrium. The box remains at rest
The forces are not balanced, so the Net force is not in equilibrium, so the box will accelerate to the left.
The forces are not balanced, so the Net force is not in equilibrium, so the box will accelerate to the right.
The forces are not balanced, so the Net force is not in equilibrium, so the box will accelerate up.
The forces are not balanced, so the Net force is not in equilibrium, so the box will accelerate down.
What is the magnitude of the force causing the box to accelerate? What direction will it accelerate?
ΣF = 65N North
ΣF = 15N North
ΣF = 15N South
ΣF = 0N @ Equilibrium
This box is originally traveling at a velocity of 25m/s out of the screen (z axis).
What is the magnitude of the net force acting on this box, and what direction will the net force cause the box to accelerate?
ΣF = 0N The box is at equilibrium. It will be at rest.
ΣF = 0N It is at equilibrium. The box will remain traveling at 25 m/s in the Z axis direction out of the screen.
ΣFy = 6N, ΣFx= 10N The Net force is 16N.
