1. Describe the three Newton's Law of Motion.

DIA [1.3K]2 years ago

Answer:

1st law--Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net forceacting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out) then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. If an external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force.

2nd— The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force. The law defines a force to be equal to change in momentum(mass times velocity) per change in time. Newton also developed the calculus of mathematics, and the "changes" expressed in the second law are most accurately defined in differential forms. (Calculus can also be used to determine the velocity and location variations experienced by an object subjected to an external force.) For an object with a constant mass m, the second law states that the force F is the product of an object's mass and its acceleration a:

F = m * a

For an external applied force, the change in velocity depends on the mass of the object. A force will cause a change in velocity; and likewise, a change in velocity will generate a force. The equation works both ways.

3rd law-- The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exerts an equal force on object A. Notice that the forces are exerted on different objects. The third law can be used to explain the generation of lift by a wing and the production of thrust by a jet engine.

BRAINLYIST ASAPPP write and claim evidence and reasoning statement that explains why mercury and Venus do not have any moons
umka2103 [35]

answer:They are too close to the sun!

Explanation:Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.Same with Venus!

spotlight on a boat is 2.5 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is 8.0 m horizontally displaced fr
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .

From the figure

Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8

cot i = 2.5 / 8

Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2

i = 72.65°

From snell's law

sini / sin r = refractive index

sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333

sin r = .9545  / 1.333

= .72

r = 46⁰

From the figure

Tan r  = d / 4

Tan 46 = d /4

d = 4 x Tan 46

= 4 x 1.0355

=4.14 m .

How is the independent variable affected by the dependent variable
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

A dependent variable is a variable that is tested in an experiment. An independent variable is that can be modified. Depending on what you are testing, the dependent variable will change accordingly to the dependent variable.
