Q: How may we determine the net force ( F ) exerted on the ring below? A: We must first reduce the F1 and F2 vectors into their x/y-components: The F1y and F2y components of F1 and F2 oppose the motion of F3. The net force in the y-direction is as follows: Fnety = F2yContinue reading “FORCE AND ACCELERATION: Net Force Exerted on a Ring”

FORCE AND ACCELERATION: The Gravitational Force of Attraction
Q: An arbitrary distance separates two objects of equal mass. If the mass of each object is doubled, and the distance between the two objects is tripled, how will the force of attraction between the two objects change? A: This question regards the gravitational force of attraction that exists between two objects with well-defined massesContinue reading “FORCE AND ACCELERATION: The Gravitational Force of Attraction”
