Explain what is the negative sign in hook's law mean?
It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.It means that the force is in a direction opposite to the displacement of the spring.
What is a vertical force?
The forces acting in a vertical direction or in a straight direction is called vertical force
What shall you do when you find the value of driving force is negative?
The acceleration is in the direction of the positive force so you will have deceleration in the direction of the negative force.
What is linear force?
Force(s) that act in the same direction
What kinds of devices make work easier by reducing required effort or by changing the direction of required effort?
Levers multiply the mechanical force that can be applied to another object, thus making work easier.
How does a hammer used to pull a nail from the board change the direction of the force?
It is a lever.
How does a hammer use to pull a nail from a board change the direction of the force?
The hammer is acting as a lever. The force exerted against the fulcrum (the head of the hammer) causes the claw end to lift and extract the nail.
3 ways simple machines make work easier?
Machines make work easier by: -Changing the amount of force you exert -Changing the distance in which you exert your force -Changing the direction in which you exert your force
What if the net force is not zero?
There is acceleration (changing velocity-speed or direction)
Is centripetal acceleration a uniform acceleration give reason?
No it is not because its direction is constantly changing. It is not a constant force. Force has direction as well as magintude and while it magnitude is constant its direction is not.
Which machine changes the direction of force needed to do a task without changing the size of the force needed?
A pulley can do that.

A pulley can do that.
Which machine changes the direction of force needed to do a task without changing the size or force needed?
A pulley can do that.
How does a single pulley make work easier?
by changing the direction of input force
The force of gravity is responsible for changing the what in which a satellite moves?
The force of gravity will change the satellites direction, and therefore its velocity.
One way a machine can make work easier for you is by?
by changing the direction of the force you applied
What is the definition of a machine?
a device that helps make work easier by changing the size or direction of force
