You are standing on a weight measuring machine in a lift. If the cable of the lift tears, what is the weight that shows up on the machine?

My weight will be zero. If the cable of lift tears, I, lift, and weight meter will fall down in the same acceleration. In this case, the applied force by me at the weight meter will be zero. That’s why if the cable of lift tears, then my weight will be zero, i.e the weight … Read more

Explain the impulse of Force.

The impulse of Force is the multiplication of applied force to a body and the application time. If a force F on a body is applied taking a time t then the impulse of Force is F x t. It is generally the change in momentum minus the initial momentum.

Explain how we walk.

Explain how we walk. In our daily life, you walk or run on the ground. When we walk on the ground, we accept a backward force on the ground by the leg behind obliquely. This is the action force. According to the third law, a reaction force is produced opposite to this. We are able … Read more
