You can tell a lot about an object that's not moving,
and also a lot about the forces acting on it:
==> If the box is at rest on the table, then it is not accelerating.
==> Since it is not accelerating, I can say that the forces on it are balanced.
==> That means that the sum of all forces acting on the box is zero,
and the effect of all the forces acting on it is the same as if there were
no forces acting on it at all.
==> This in turn means that all of the horizontal forces are balanced,
AND all of the vertical forces are balanced.
Horizontal forces:
sliding friction, somebody pushing the box
All of the forces on this list must add up to zero. So ...
(sliding friction force) = (pushing force), in the opposite direction.
If nobody pushing the box, then sliding friction force = zero.
Vertical forces:
gravitational force (weight of the box, pulling it down)
normal force (table pushing the box up)
All of the forces on this list must add up to zero, so ...
(Gravitational force down) + (normal force up) = zero
(Gravitational force down) = -(normal force up) .
A. Acceleration.
acceleration is m/s^2. speed is m/s
'In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for transverse waves only.
'In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for longitudinal waves only.
'Many wave motions in nature are a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion' is true for both longitudinal and transverse waves.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Longitudinal waves are those where the direction of propagation of particles are parallel to the medium' particles. While transverse waves propagate perpendicular to the medium' particles.
As wave motions are assumed to be of standing waves which comprises of particles moving parallel as well as perpendicular to the medium, most of the wave motions are composed of longitudinal and transverse motion.
So the option stating the medium' particle moves perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow is true for transverse waves. Similarly, the option stating the medium' particle moves parallel to the direction of flow of energy is true for longitudinal waves only.
And the option stating that wave motions comprises of combination of longitudinal and transverse motion is true for both of them.
Answer:
b) The downward force of gravity
Explanation:
The gravity force has the biggest influence on the deceleration of the ball because no matter how much force you applied on the ball, it will eventually go down again, according to newton's second law:
right after you throw the ball, only the force exerted by the gravity will affect the ball (neglecting air resistance):
so the object will eventually be going down again.
Answer:
58.24 Km/h.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Distance (d) = 495 Km
Time (t) = 8 h 30 mins
Speed (S) =?
Next, we shall express 8 hours 30 mins to hours.
We'll begin by convert 30 mins to hour.
60 mins = 1 h
Therefore,
30 mins = 30 mins × 1 h/ 60 mins
30 mins = 0.5 hour.
Thus,
8 h 30 min = 8 + 0.5 = 8.5 hours
Speed is define as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
Speed = Distance /time
With the above formula, we can obtain the speed as shown below:
Distance (d) = 495 Km
Time (t) = 8.5 hour
Speed (S) =?
Speed = Distance /time
Speed = 495 Km / 8.5 hour
Speed = 58.24 Km/h
Thus, the speed is 58.24 Km/h.
