1. In class, students learned that a cart will move when a force of 50 N
or greater is applied. A student pushed on the cart with a force of
10 N. The cart did not move. Why not?

Respuesta :

He did not apply the fifty newtons of greater force! Ok it says when it needed to have the greater force of fifty the person only put 10N out of the fifty, and left out 40N, that is why it did not work properly.

Oseni

If a force of 50N or more needs to be applied before a cart can move, an applied force of 10N will not move the cart because the force is not enough to overcome the forces that make the cart to be stationary.

A stationary object is acted upon by 2 forces

  1. The force of its own weight
  2. The force of friction between it and the surface on which it stands

These two forces must be overcome before a stationary object would move. Hence, the magnitude of an applied force must be more than the force of weight and friction acting on a stationary object before it can move.
