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

Physics
1 answer:
Mariulka [41]2 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.

Lake Baikal in Siberia has a maximum depth of 1642 m. What is the water
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Explanation:

Fluid gauge pressure is:

P = ρgh

where ρ is the fluid density and h is the depth of the fluid.

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (1642 m)

P = 16,091,600 Pa

Rounded to four significant figures, the gauge pressure is 16.09 MPa.

Why does sound propagate faster in solid bodies than in liquids and faster in liquids than in air?
storchak [24]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

this is because particles in solids are packed very closely together, thus , the particles collide with each other frequently and thus transfer of energy is faster. however, particles in liquid are closely packed but not as close as in solid so the particles do not collide as frequently. thus, transfer of energy slower than in solid. furthermore, the particles in gas are spaced far apart from each other, thus the particles don't collide with each other frequently, thus transfer of energy is very slow in gas.

Explain why a cow that touches an electric fence experiences a mild shock
Minchanka [31]
The voltage exists between the fence and the ground.  The cow is grounded. The cow is touching the ground, completing the circuit of electricity. <span>When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.</span>
