Can a body be in equilibrium if only one external force act on its ? explain

Physics
1 answer:
Mariulka [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

If there is only 1 force, the body can never be in equilibrium, providing that the force is not zero (and that would hardly be a force. Zero is possible in math and it means something. It is debatable in physics).

You cannot think of a condition where something is stationary on planet earth and there are not 2 forces or more forces involved.

Think of something like a block of wood sitting on a table. It is not moving, we'll say. Gravity is holding it down, but what is pushing up on it?

The table is. There are 2 forces and they are equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction. That matters.

Describe what long sight is and how it is corrected with a lens
o-na [289]

If long sight means farsighted, then here's your answer:

Farsightedness is when the lens has difficulty focusing on nearby objects. Sufferers must squint to see the nearby objects. Reading, writing, and drawing for longer periods of time can cause eyestrain and headache.

Being farsighted can be corrected with prescription glasses or contact lenses or surgery.

Please help me with this Physics question!
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

D) 11 m/s

Explanation:

We have to calculate the velocity of the hot dog with respect to the observer still outside the train. This velocity will be given by:

v=v_t + v_m + v_h

where

v_t=+10 m/s is the velocity of the train (towards right)

v_m=+2 m/s is the velocity of the man (towards right)

v_h=-1 m/s is the velocity of the hot-dog (towards left, so we put a negative sign)

By replacing the numbers into the equation, we find

v=+10 m/s+2 m/s-1 m/s=+11 m/s

and the positive sign means the velocity is toward right.
