    Name the following types of forces which are either a push or a pull on an object. 4. The push or pull between magnets                         ______________

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "magnetic force". When two magnets are brought close to each other, they either attract or repel each other. This push or pull between magnets is known as the magnetic force. It is responsible for the interaction between magnets and is a fundamental force in nature. The magnetic force can be both attractive and repulsive, depending on the orientation of the magnets.

    The following diagrams show two forces acting on a Block. In which case does the block have the smallest acceleration? - ProProfs

    The following diagrams show two forces acting on a Block. In which case does the block have the smallest acceleration?

    • A

    • B

    • C

    • D

    Correct Answer
    A. A
    Explanation
    In diagram A, the two forces acting on the block are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero. According to Newton's second law of motion, F = ma, where F is the net force and a is the acceleration. Since the net force is zero, the acceleration of the block will also be zero. Therefore, diagram A represents the case where the block has the smallest acceleration.

    The direction of the resultant force produced by the forces OX and OY acting on the point O as shown in the figure below is represented by - ProProfs

    The direction of the resultant force produced by the forces OX and OY acting on the point O as shown in the figure below is represented by

    • OP

    • OQ

    • OR

    • OS

    Correct Answer
    A. OP
    Explanation
    The direction of the resultant force produced by the forces OX and OY acting on the point O can be represented by OP. This is because the forces OX and OY are acting in different directions, and the resultant force is the vector sum of these forces. The vector OP represents the direction and magnitude of the resultant force, with the tail of the vector at point O and the head pointing towards the direction of the force. Therefore, OP is the correct representation of the direction of the resultant force.

    An object of mass m, is resting on a frictionless surface. When a force F is acting on the object, it produces an acceleration of 1 m/s2. If the force is increased to 2F and mass reduced by half, what will be the acceleration?

    • 1/4 m/s2

    • 1/2 m/s2

    • 1 m/s2

    • 4 m/s2

    Correct Answer
    A. 4 m/s2
    Explanation
    When the force acting on the object is increased to 2F and the mass is reduced by half, the acceleration will increase. This is because the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is given by Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma). In this case, since the force is doubled and the mass is halved, the acceleration will be four times the original acceleration. Therefore, the acceleration will be 4 m/s2.

    Name the following types of forces which are either a push or a pull on an object. a. The gravitational pull on an object

    Correct Answer
    weight, Weight, gravitational force, Gravitational force, Gravitational Force
    Explanation
    The correct answer includes the terms "weight," "gravitational force," and "Gravitational Force." These terms refer to the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other, and the weight of an object is the force with which it is pulled towards the center of the Earth. Therefore, these terms accurately describe the push or pull force exerted on an object due to gravity.

    Name the following types of forces which are either a push or a pull on an object. b. The pull by a stretched spring or rope       ____________

    Correct Answer
    tension, Tension
    Explanation
    The correct answer is tension. When a spring or rope is stretched, it exerts a pulling force on the object it is attached to. This force is called tension. Tension can also be represented by the symbol "T".

    A sledge of mass 25 kg is pulled across level ground with a horizontal force of 60 N. The constant force of friction is 20 N. What is the acceleration of the sledge? A 0.63 m/s2 B 1.6 m/s2 C 2.4 m/s2 D 3.2 m/s2

    • A

    • B

    • C

    • D

    Correct Answer
    A. B
    Explanation
    The acceleration of an object can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration is equal to the net force acting on the object divided by its mass. In this case, the net force is the horizontal force of 60 N minus the force of friction of 20 N, which results in a net force of 40 N. Dividing this by the mass of the sledge (25 kg) gives an acceleration of 1.6 m/s2.

    Name the following types of forces which are either a push or a pull on an object. 5. The push or pull between electric charges ______________

    Correct Answer
    Electric force, electric forces
    Explanation
    The push or pull between electric charges is known as electric force. Electric force is a fundamental force of nature that occurs between charged particles, such as electrons and protons. This force can either attract or repel charged objects, depending on their charges. Electric forces play a crucial role in various phenomena, including the behavior of electrons in atoms, the functioning of electronic devices, and the interaction between charged particles in electric fields.

    A constant horizontal force is applied to a body initially at rest on a smooth horizontal table. Which of the following quantities will not change during the application of the force?

    • The displacement of the body.

    • The velocity of the body.

    • The acceleration of the body.

    • The kinetic energy of the body.

    Correct Answer
    A. The acceleration of the body.
    Explanation
    The acceleration of the body will not change during the application of the force. This is because acceleration is determined by the net force acting on an object and its mass, according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). In this scenario, a constant horizontal force is being applied, so the net force remains constant. As a result, the acceleration of the body will also remain constant.

    A hot air balloon has a total mass of 150 kg. What is the resultant force acting on the balloon if b) The balloon rises with a constant speed of 2.0 ms-1? (Enter the final answer with units in the given blank.)

    Correct Answer
    0N, 0 N, zero, Zero Newton, No resultant force, No force
    Explanation
    When the balloon rises with a constant speed, it means that the upward force (buoyant force) acting on the balloon is equal to the downward force (gravity). This is known as equilibrium, where the net force is zero. Therefore, the resultant force acting on the balloon is 0N.

    A hot air balloon has a total mass of 150 kg. What is the resultant force acting on the balloon if a) The balloon rises with an acceleration of 0.50 ms-2? (Enter the final answer with units in the given blank.)

    Correct Answer
    300 N, 300N
    Explanation
    The resultant force acting on the balloon is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion (F = m * a). In this case, the mass of the balloon is 150 kg and the acceleration is 0.50 m/s^2. Therefore, the resultant force is 150 kg * 0.50 m/s^2 = 75 N. Since the force is acting upwards, the answer is 75 N, 75 N.
