Torque and Mechanical Advantage

Which of the following best describes the effect a force cannot achieve on an object?

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, what is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration when mass is constant?

A person is pushing a box across a floor. Which type of force is primarily opposing the sliding motion of the box?

In the context of rotational motion, what is the effect of increasing the distance from the pivot point at which a force is applied?

Why are door handles typically placed far away from the hinges?

What distinguishes a 'couple' from a single force acting on an object?

In a numerical problem, a force of 20 N is applied at a distance of 0.5 meters from the pivot point. What is the magnitude of the moment of force (torque)?

What is the SI unit for the moment of force?

If multiple forces are acting on an object and there is no change in its state of motion, what condition is the object in?

What distinguishes static equilibrium from dynamic equilibrium?

A seesaw is perfectly balanced with two children of equal weight sitting on opposite ends at equal distances from the pivot. Which type of equilibrium does this demonstrate?

In a system in equilibrium, if the clockwise moment created by one force is 25 Nm, what must be the sum of the anticlockwise moments?

What defines the center of gravity of an object?

Where is the center of gravity located for a uniform circular ring?

Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line will create what?

A uniform meter rule is pivoted at its midpoint (50 cm). A weight of 20 gf is suspended at the 70 cm mark. To balance the rule, where should a weight of 40 gf be suspended?

What type of motion does a satellite orbiting the Earth demonstrate?

In uniform circular motion, which quantity remains constant?

Why is centrifugal force often referred to as a fictitious force?

A man applies a force of 150 N to a wrench with a lever arm of 0.4 m to open a nut. Later, he only applies 60 N but still manages to open the nut. What is the new length of the lever arm?
