Nnesha (nnesha):

but this is math section :(

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

but the physisc section is dead :(

Nnesha (nnesha):

but you can tag some people :(

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

How do I know they know it? :(

Nnesha (nnesha):

hey tag some people did you see some people not me best of luck !!!

F =20-10 =10N

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

wait, so the object/mass weasn't moving? it says it has a velocity, it stays contant but it still moves.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is either not moving or moving with a constant velocity. In this case, it is moving with a constant velocity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the first law of Newton http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/history/newton3laws.html

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

how can it be NOT moving at a constant velocity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, reread, I said : "it is either not moving OR....."

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

ooh sorry

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

ok but wouldn't the forces prevent the object from moving?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is reality and it is called friction forces. In theory, it is ignored

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

ooh, I am sorry, but I am a bit confused :'( would you mind explaining to be what is going on in the picture? I see a mass that is supposedly moving at 5 m/s constant speed and there are forces being applied?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they just say the mass is moving and but they don't say that the force apply on the mass on which direction. How can you know which direction it is moving? if I say it is toward to the East, then the ? force is < 10 so that it can move to the East ( because 20 > 10 + amount of force <10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But if I say it is moving to the West, then the ? force must be >10 so that the total force to the West > the force from the East which is 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hence, we don't know about the direction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Therefore, only it is moving in constant velocity. That is applying the first law of Newton, the forces apply on the mass = 0 and it is originally moving with a constant velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On that way, you can calculate the required force by Newton's law. Dat sit

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

ooooh I see now ^_^

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

thank you.
