Question

A force F making an angle "0" with the horizontal is acting on an object resting on the table. Which statement is true for the motion of sliding the object on the table?

Answer 1

statements?

Answer 2

A.
It is independent of all the forces acting on the object.




B.
It depends only on the forces acting along the x-axis.




C.
It depends only on the forces acting along the y-axis.




D.
It depends only on the normal force acting on the object.




E.
It depends only on the frictional force acting on the object.

Answer 3

This one might be a little tricky, but just go through and eliminate the statements that don't make sense.

For your reference, motion being dependent on *something* means that the motion is affected by what that *something* is. And motion being independent of *something* means that that *something* could be great or small and it would NEVER affect the motion.

When the statements say "only," it's implying that nothing else affects the motion. We can go through the options together, if you want.

Answer 4

please because im lost.

Answer 5

Haha, okay! First, do you understand the situation? I think that's a big part. I read it quick and think I misunderstood it at first. But here's the situation I built up with the word problem.

It's talking about angles, so it probably involves more than one direction.
It specifies "horizontal" as being the 0 degree angle. So, I assume the other angles are vertical. Just because.
And the force is on the object, which is on the table.
And that's all.

Answer 6

So imagine that the vertical dashed line comes straight up from the table, and the horizontal line goes along it.

Any questions about that?
