Newton's second law states that the force produced by a moving object depends on its mass and acceleration. Which is an example

of this? A. Two boulders move at the same rate of acceleration; the boulder with the smaller mass produces a greater force.
B. Two boulders move at the same rate of acceleration; the boulder with the greater mass produces a greater force.
C. A runner accelerates at a rate of 1 meter per second per second during a race.

The example of Newton's second law is that a runner accelerates at a rate of 1 meter per second per second during the race. The correct answer is C.

If an object is not moving are the forces acting on it balanced? Yes or no?why?
xxMikexx [17]

This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:

Net Force = (mass) x (zero)

or  Net Force = (zero) .

"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.

So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.

Charge is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius R and the resulting electric field magnitude E is measured along the rin
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}

Explanation:

Given that

Radius =r

Electric filed =E

Q=Charge on the ring

The electric filed at distance x given as

E=K\dfrac{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}}

For maximum condition

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0

E=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}

For maximum condition

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0

K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}=0

r^2+x^2-3x^2=0

x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}

At x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2} the electric field will be maximum.

Which law of motion accounts for the following statement?
strojnjashka [21]
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...

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.15 × 1014 hz. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
Ket [755]
The energy carried by a single photon of frequency f is given by:
E=hf
where h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} m^2 kg s^{-1} is the Planck constant. In our problem, the frequency of the photon is f=7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, and by using these numbers we can find the energy of the photon:
E=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34}m^2 kg s^{-1})(7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz)=4.7 \cdot 10^{-19}J
