How can we tell when forces are acting on an object (science)

If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,
then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of
these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be <em><u>a group</u></em> of forces (two or more) acting on
an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced". When
that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed
is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line. In that case, it's not
possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it.

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. He stops the stopwatch

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by

$\Delta t = 0.1 s$

this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time

After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division

So here total time is given as

Time = (Number of division) (Least count)

now we will have

$T = 52 \times 0.1s$

$T = 5.2 s$

A fly travels along the x-axis. His starting point is x = 16 m and his ending point 15x = - 25 m. His flight lasts 4.0 seconds H

gogolik [260]

Explanation:

Starting position at x = 16m

Ending position at x = -25m

Time of flight = 4s

Unknown:

Distance flown = ?

Displacement = ?

Speed = ?

Velocity = ?

Solution:

To find the distance flown, we should understand that the body is moving on the x - plane;

So distance = 16 + 25 = 41m

Displacement is 41m to the left or -x axis

Speed is the distance divided by the time taken;

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$ = $\frac{41}{4}$ = 10.25m/s

Velocity is 10.25m/s along -x axis
