If the object is in equilibrium that means that the sum of the forces on it is zero and the net force is zero. If none of the forces changes then the object continues in constant uniform motion. That means constant speed in a straight line.

Answer:

Uniform speed linear motion .

Explanation:

Any object can be in the state of equilibrium is sum of all the forces acting on it is zero means zero net force. If no forces change over it then the object will be uniform motion which means speed will remain constant. Best example for this situation is uniform motion along a straight line or uniform speed linear motion.

a car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 65 km/h (18 m/s) in 12s. Find the distance the car travels during this time?

Vinil7 [7]

The car's speed was zero at the beginning of the 12 seconds,
and 18 m/s at the end of it. Since the acceleration was 'uniform'
during that time, the car's average speed was (1/2)(0 + 18) = 9 m/s.

12 seconds at an average speed of 9 m/s ==> (12 x 9) = 108 meters .

==========================================

That's the way I like to brain it out. If you prefer to use the formula,
the first problem you run into is: You need to remember the formula !

The formula is D = 1/2 a T²

   Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (time in seconds)²

   Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
    = (18 m/s) / (12 sec)
    = 1.5 m/s² .

Distance = (1/2 x 1.5 m/s²) x (12 sec)²
      =     (0.75 m/s²) x (144 sec²) = 108 meters .

A wildebeest and chicken participate in a race over a 2.00km long course. the wildebeest travels at a speed of 16.0m/s and chick

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

(a) The distance of the chicken from the finish line is 62.5 m

(b) The stationary time of the wildebeest is 675 s

Explanation:

Given;

total distance traveled by wildebeest and chicken, d = 2 km = 2000 m

speed of the wildebeest, $v_w$ = 16 m/s
