    What is the width of a wall seen from an opposing mirror?

    Homework Statement In a church choir loft, two parallel walls are 4.98 m apart. The singers stand against the north wall. The organist faces the south wall, sitting 0.967 m away from it. So that she can see the choir, a flat mirror 0.855 m wide is mounted in the south wall, straight in front...

    Work on Block with an opposing force

    Homework Statement Two forces, of magnitudes F_1 = 75.0 N and F_2 = 20.0 N, act in opposite directions on a block, which sits atop a frictionless surface, as shown in the figure. Initially, the center of the block is at position x_i = -1.00 cm. At some later time, the block has moved to the...

    Calculating the Force Opposing Gravity in Orbital Simulations

    I am writing a program to do some orbital simulations. For ease of conversation, let's start with the sun and the earth. If the Earth were standing still, the sun would pull it in quite rapidly. As the Earth is moving at about 1.47 kilometers per second, that movement creates a force opposing...

    Mass Spring Damper system with opposing springs

    I'm sure I must be being a bit dim here, but I can't work this out! I have a mass-spring-damper system, as shown in the attahed picture, in which i have a mass suspended between two springs and dampers, each of which are attached to a fixed surface. he two opposite surfaces are part of the...

    Opposing forces connected by a rope

    I have a simple question to resolve a dispute at work. If I have two opposing forces connected by a rope, applying 50 lbs of force in opposite directions, do i have 50 lbs of force on the rope or do i have 100 lbs of force? (of course assuming no friction and what not)

    Object exerts an opposing force of equal magnitude

    Newton's 3rd law stated with every force u exert on an object, the object exerts an opposing force of equal magnitude. if so why is that we're able to move objects around?
