  2. Determining Net Force Based on Motion Diagram - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/determining-net-force-based-on-motion-diagram.339594

    To determine the net force of an object, you can look at the changes in the object's velocity and acceleration over time on the motion diagram. The net force is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. 3. Can a motion diagram show the direction of the net force?

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/understanding-atwoods-machine-forces-diagrams...

    In summary, Atwood's Machine involves one pulley and two weights, which are analyzed using two free body diagrams. The masses of the weights are not combined into one force diagram because they have different accelerations - one goes up while the other goes down. However, gravity is still pulling down on each weight in the same direction.

    Make sure to label each force with its name and any known values, such as magnitude or direction. 4. Can a force diagram be used to calculate the net force on an object? Yes, a force diagram can be used to calculate the net force on an object. To do this, add all the forces acting on the object in the same direction and subtract any forces ...

    Using Coulomb's Law, the net force on charge B is determined by calculating the individual forces between each pair of charges and then adding them together as vectors. By exploiting the symmetry of the charges, it is found that the net force on B is 1.732 * 10^7 N along the bisector of the triangle. May 13, 2009. #1. axxon.

    In each case, determine the net force and the acceleration. of the parachutist. Relevant Equations:: F=Ma. Hi All, Please see attached photo of the question. It is asking for net force and acceleration. Taking the forces acting upwards and downwards on the. parachutist as vectors: for A the net force would be 800-300=500; B would be 0 and C ...

  7. Weight, net force, and acceleration - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/weight-net-force-and-acceleration.466792

    How are weight, net force, and acceleration related? Weight is directly proportional to net force and acceleration. This means that if the weight of an object increases, both the net force and acceleration will also increase. Similarly, if the weight decreases, the net force and acceleration will decrease as well.

  8. What Forces Act on a Car at the Peak of a Hill? - Physics Forums

    www.physicsforums.com/threads/what-forces-act-on-a-car-at-the-peak-of-a-hill...

    Since the car is at the very peak of the hill, the normal force will be equal to the weight of the car (mg). Therefore, the net downward force will be equal to zero. To find the car's velocity at the very peak, we can use the equation for centripetal force: Fc = mv^2/r, where m is the mass of the car, v is the velocity, and r is the radius of ...

    C.Me.B. Sep 28, 2007. Body Diagram Free body Free body diagram Piano. In summary, the forces acting on the piano include the acceleration of the piano, gravitational force acting on the piano (piano's weight), force of the floor on the piano (normal force), and force of Chadwick on the piano. The force of the piano pushing on Chadwick can also ...

    A force F is applied to block 1 (mass m1). The task is to draw a free-body diagram for each block and determine the acceleration of the system (in terms of m1, m2, m3), the net force on each block, and the force of contact that each block exerts on its neighbor.

  11. What Is the Net Force on the Middle Mass? - Physics Forums

    The elevator is moving downward with a velocity of -3.7 m/s and accelerating downward at -1.6 m/s^2. The net force acting on the middle mass is equal to its mass (13.2 kg) multiplied by its acceleration (-1.6 m/s^2), which is equal to -21.12 N. The other forces acting on the mass, such as gravity and the tension in the springs, are not relevant ...
