Why does an object in motion stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force?

Physics

Svet_ta [14]3 years ago

Answer: A) because forces are what stop and start motion

Explanation:

From Newton's first law, an object tends to stay in state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force. This is also known law of inertia. This is because a force can stop or start a motion. A force cause body to accelerate to decelerate otherwise the body continues with constant speed.

An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force A) because forces are what stop and start motion

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In Newton's first law, it is stated that if the resultant force acts on an object of magnitude is zero, it can be formulated:

\large{\boxed{\bold{\sum F=0}}

 then the object tends to defend itself from its state.

or can be stated:

<em>An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. </em>

So for objects in a state of movement, objects tend to move forever. Likewise, for objects in a state of rest, they tend to remain forever. The tendency of objects like this is called<u> inertia </u>

The size of inertia is proportional to mass, the greater the mass of the object, the greater the inertia of the object.

In objects with mass that move translatively, the object will maintain its linear velocity

<u>Forces are balanced</u> when all the forces act upon an object balance with each other

<u>Forces are unbalanced</u> when there is an individual force that is not being balanced by another force

So the object in balanced forces:

  • 1. object at rest v = 0, a = 0
  • 2. object at motion v ≠0, a = 0

Let see the answer choices

  • A) because forces are what stop and start motion

If there is an unbalanced force, the object will tend to move from the rest position or the object changes its state of motion.

Statement is true

  • B) because balanced forces can not exist in nature

Balanced forces can exist in nature for example. For example a person standing on the floor. There are two forces. The force of gravity and the floor for upward force, thus the person maintains its state (rest motion). So this condition is called a state of balance or balance.

Statement is false

  • C) because motion is the inherent state of all matter

All matter is not only in a state of movement but also in a position of rest

Statement is false

  • D) because motion, once begun, continues to accelerate

motion of object can accelerate or decelerate

Statement is false

A 0.155 kg arrow is shot upward
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: 244.05 J

Explanation:

To find speed  at 30 m above the ground use equation:

V²=Vo²-2Gs

V0=31.4m/s

s=30m

G=9.81m/s²

-----------------------

V²=31.4²-2*9.81*30

V²=985.96+588.6

V²=1574.56

V=39.68m/s ---speed of arrow on 30 m obove the ground

Use equation for kinetic enrgy:

Ke=mV²/2

m=0.155kg

V=39.68m/s

-------------------------

Ke=0.155kg*(39.68m/s)²/2

Ke=0.155*1574.5/2

Ke=244.05J

Two steamrollers begin 115 mm apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.10 m/sm/s . At the same instant, a
NeX [460]

Answer:

The distance of fly travel is 115.06 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 115 mm

Speed = 1.10 m/s

Speed of fly = 2.20 m/s

We need to calculate the relative speed

Using formula of relative speed

v=v_{1}+v_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v=1.10+1.10

v=2.20\ m/s

We need to calculate the time for the two steamrollers to meet each other

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{115}{2.20}

t=52.3\ sec

We need to calculate the distance of fly travel

Using formula of distance

d=vt

Put the value into the formula

d=2.20\times52.3

d=115.06\ m

Hence, The distance of fly travel is 115.06 m.

A tennis ball is hit into the air with a racket. When is the balls kinetic energy the greatest?
madam [21]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is maximum when the player hits the ball.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

So kinetic energy is proportional to square of velocity.

Velocity is maximum when the player hits the ball.

So kinetic energy is maximum when the player hits the ball.

A mass attached to a 50.0 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 40 times in one minute before reaching a final angular
ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem it is only necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion description, for this purpose we know by definition that,

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 +\omega_0 t + \theta_0

Where,

\theta = Angular Displacement

\alpha =Angular Acceleration

\omega_0 = Angular velocity

\theta_0 =Initial angular displacement

For this case we have neither angular velocity nor initial angular displacement, then

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

Re-arrange for \alpha,

\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}

Replacing our values,

\alpha = \frac{2(40rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})}{60^2}

\alpha = 0.139rad/s

Therefore the ANgular acceleration of the mass is 0.139rad/s^2
