- (a) What is the strength of the weak nuclear force relative to the strong nuclear force? (b) What is the strength of the weak nuclear force relative to the electromagnetic force? Since the weak nuclear force acts at only very short distances, such as inside nuclei, where the strong and electromagnetic forces also act, it might seem surprising that we have any knowledge of it at all. We have such knowledge because the weak nuclear force is responsible for beta decay, a type of nuclear decay not explained by other forces.arrow_forwardA 10 kg box experiences a force of 15 Newtons in the positive x-direction and 8 Newtons in the negative y-direction. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the box? Answer in Newtons.arrow_forwardA 3.00-kg object is initially moving northward at 15.0 m/s. Then a force of 15.0 N, toward the east, acts on it for 3.30 s. (a) At the end of the 3.30 s, what is magnitude of the object’s final velocity? ___m/s (b)What is the direction of the final velocity? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates north of east and negative indicates south of east. (c) What is the change in momentum during the 3.30 s? Take +y to be north and +x to be east. Enter a positive answer if the change in momentum is toward east and a negative answer if the change in momentum is toward west. ____kg·m/sarrow_forward

The astronaut in the spaceship decides to return to the space station by switching on engines that expel fuel so that the sum of the forces exerted on the spaceship by the expelled fuel points toward the space station. What is the magnitude of the minimum force needed to bring the spaceship back to the space station? The spaceship will keep moving away from the space station no matter how large the force.

By paddling, he causes an average force ?⃗ of 17 N to be applied to the raft in a direction due east (the +x direction). The wind also exerts a force ? on the raft. This force has a magnitude of 15 N and points 67° north of east. Ignoring any resistance from the water, find the x and y components of the raft’s acceleration.arrow_forward
- A block with a mass of m = 27 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x-direction with a magnitude of F1 = 12 N. The second has a magnitude of F2 = 22.25 N and acts on the body at an angle θ = 17° measured from horizontal Write an expression for the component of net force, Fnet,x, in the x-direction, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement. Write an expression for the magnitude of the normal force, FN, acting on the block, in terms of F2, g, and the other variables of the problem. Assume that the surface it rests on is rigid.arrow_forwardA 781 N sprinter can push his feet back against the starting blocks with a force of 1852 N in the horizontal direction.

Starting from rest, you run the boat at full throttle for a little while. After the boat has traveled a distance of 11.8 meters, it is traveling with a speed of 7.5 m/s. If the forward force of thrust acting on the boat is 12.0 N, determine the magnitude of the backward force of "water resistance" acting on the boat.arrow_forward
- USE VECTOR NOTATIONA block of mass M_1 = 640 [kg] is initially at rest on a cart of mass M_2 = 320 [kg] with the cart initially at rest on a horizontal air track. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is μ_s = 0.620, but there is no friction between the track and the cart. The cart is accelerated by a force of magnitude F parallel to the track. Find the maximum value of F that allows the block to accelerate with the cart, without sliding on it.arrow_forwardA 10.0-kg object is initially moving with a velocity of 20.0 m/s to the north and is acted on by a constant net force. After the object moves 30.0 m to the north, its velocity is 12.0 m/s north. What is the constant net force acting on the object?arrow_forwardA car is moving along a frictionless surface with a speed of 2 m/s to the left. You and your friend each come over and push the car at the same time. You exert a force of 6 N to the left, while your friend exerts a force of 6 N to the right. According to Newton’s first law, how will this action affect the car’s motion? The car will speed up because your force is in the same direction of the car’s motion, making it speed up. The car will stop immediately because two balanced forces will cause an object to stop moving. The car will continue to move 2 m/s to the left because there are balanced forces acting on it. The car will continue moving to the left but at a slower speed because your friend’s force is going to make the car slow down.arrow_forward
