Which law of motion accounts for the following statement?

Physics
2 answers:
shutvik [7]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

First law

Explanation:

The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path. This is due to first law of motion. The first law states that an object will be at rest and an object will be in motion until no external force acts on it.

It is possible due to sun's gravity pull that the planets move in a circular path. Without sun's gravity the planet would move in a straight line. Hence, the correct option is (a) " first law of motion".

I know that its not the second law. I'm almost positive its the first one. Please let me know if I'm wrong. This sentence makes no sense when you put it with the third law. So, the first law is my guess...

An object with a mass of 2.0 kg accelerates 2.0 m/s 2when an unknown force is applied to it. What is the amount of force?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

4 N

Explanation:

mass = 2 kg

acceleration = 2 m/s^2

Force = mass * acceleration

         = 2 *2

         = 4 N

What is inertia?by Walter Levin..<br>​
Tom [10]

Inertia is directly proportional to mass.

What is Walter Lewin famous for?

Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin (born January 29, 1936) is a Dutch astrophysicist and former professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology and was a member of MIT's physics faculty for 43 years beginning in 1966 until his retirement in 2009.

According to Walter Levin,

The concept of moment of inertia is demonstrated by rolling a series of cylinders down an inclined plane.

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them.

By rolling a series of cylinders down on an inclined plane , he demonstrated that a cylinder have a smooth friction.

He compares the rolling cylinder by using hollow cylinder and a heavy cylinder , and finalize the result that a hollow cylinder moves slowly but the heavy cylinder move faster.

Hence , By doing this experiment he explained about the inertia that Inertia depend on the mass of the object. As the heavy the object it will take more time to travel or move.

A ladder rests against a vertical wall at a point 12 feet from the floor. The angle formed by the ladder and the floor is 63°. C
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

Explanation:

given data

height h  = 12 feet

angle 63°

to find out

length of the ladder ( L) and length of wall to ladder ( A) and angle between  ladder and the wall

solution

we consider here angle between base of wall and floor is right angle

we apply here trigonometry rule that is

sin63 = h/L

put here value

L = 12 / sin63

L = 13.47

so length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

and

we can say

tan 63 = h / A

put here value

A = 12 / tan63

A = 6.10

so base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

and

we say here

tanθ = 6.10 / 12

θ = 26.95°

so angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 6.6 m/s in 6.5 s. Find the acceleration the car presents during this time?
Art [367]

Answer:

1.02 m/s²

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 6.6 m/s

Time (t) = 6.5 s

Acceleration (a) =.?

Acceleration can simply be defined as the change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

a = (v – u) / t

Where:

a is the acceleration.

v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity.

t is the time.

With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the car as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 6.6 m/s

Time (t) = 6.5 s

Acceleration (a) =.?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (6.6 – 0) / 6.5

a = 6.6 / 6.5

a = 1.02 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 1.02 m/s²
