A horizontal force is applied to an object weighing 392 N that causes its speed to increase uniformly from 0 m/s to 6 m/s in 3 seconds. If we disregard the friction value, calculate the applied force
Suppose that a projectile of mass m moves in a verticalplane in the atmosphere near the surface of the earth underthe influence of two forces: a downward gravitationalforce of magnitude mg, and a resistive force FR that isdirected opposite to the velocity vector v and has magnitudek v2 (where v = |v| is the speed of the projectile;see Fig. 4.1.15). Show that the equations of motion of theprojectile are
mx'' = -kvx' , my'' = -kvy' -mg,
If there are no non-conservative forces to worry about, what is the magnitude of the applied force needed to keep an object moving at a constant velocity?
Assume the mass of the object is m and its velocity is v.
