What are the different formulas for the calculation of magnifying power of a microscope and a telescope? And how would we use the sign conventions in them?
If a body is falling downward under the effect of gravity(=mg) and someone applies a force(=mg) in the opposite direction (upward), then the body will continue moving downwards as the net force is zero. What would be the magnitude of the force applied such that the body would freeze in midair(if...
But, as cnh1995 said, for the body to be set into motion, the initial force has to be in infinitesimally greater than mg, just at that instant.. After that, to maintain constant speed, we need to apply a force equal to (mg). Right?
So, when we consider the force applied by the person to be zero, and we calculate work done, we are just calculating the work done in moving the body against gravity, not in increasing its kinetic energy or in accelerating it? Work done in moving a body against gravity and work done in...
