- Fext N E An orange ball is subjected to a constant external force Fext (this force is constant in both magnitude and direction). The force Fext has a magnitude of 28.6 newtons and it is directed at an angle theta = 0 = 62.4 degrees north of due east (as shown in red above). While Fext is acting on the orange ball, somebody else grabs the orange ball and moves it a distance 1.22 meters to the east and 1.88 meters to the south. Calculate the work (in joules) that Fext did on the orange ball while it was being moved. (The sign, positive or negative, is important.)arrow_forwardQuestions-Problems-on-NLM.pd x E Assignment_NLM.pdf O File | C:/Users/Lenovo/Downloads/Assignment_NLM.pdf Sign in A) Read aloud V Draw F Highlight O Erase 3 of 6 (2) A parachutist is falling at a steady rate of 6 m/s.

- For items 5-6, refer to the scenario below: In a classroom demonstration, a 79.2-kg physics professor lies on a "bed of nails." The bed consists of a large number of evenly spaced, relatively sharp nails mounted in a board so that the points extend vertically outward from the board. While the professor is lying down, approximately 1950 nails make contact with his body. 7. What is the average force exerted by each nail on the professor's body?

- Instruction: Provide complete solutions with the derivation of formulas (integrals and derivatives). Use two decimal places for final answers only. The final answers shown below are incomplete. (Dynamics of Rigid Bodies) A machine is used to cause an object to move along a curved path with a radius of 1 ft. The object has a mass of 5 lbm and is subjected to a force of (F = 2t + 1)lbf, where t is in seconds. Find the change in momentum of the object after 3 seconds if it was initially traveling at 2 ft/s. lbm-ft² Answers: 386.09 Sarrow_forwardIn the figure, a horizontal force of 100 N is to be applied to a 10 kg slab that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, to accelerate the slab. Block Slab 100 N A 10 kg block lies on top of the slab; the coefficient of friction u between the block and the slab is not known, and the block might slip. Considering that possibility, what is the possible range of values for the magnitude of the slab's acceleration aslab?

When you hang different mass blacks from different positions on the stick, as shown in the illustrations that follow, the stick remains balanced. Work on a whiteboard with your group: Draw all forces exerted on the stick by other objects. Remember the force exerted by Earth on the stick. Work together to devise a rule to explain this behavior (or extend the rules developed in the previons activities). Be sure that the rule is compatible with all of the experiments. 50 60 10 50 100 10 em em cm ст cm cm 100 g 80 g 100 g 400 garrow_forward
- i'm doing chapter 4 problem 12p in the college physics 11th edition text book. On bartleby it says that "total force along the x axis is fx= f1sin30degrees - f2sin10degrees" my question is that wouldnt it be the cosine since it is the x axis and not sin?? i put a image belowarrow_forwardA 2-kg hanging mass (m,) is connected by a string over a pulley to a 20-kg block (m2) that is sliding on a 50° fixed inclined plane (see the figure below).
