The correct answer to the question is : D) Be moving at a constant velocity.

EXPLANATION:

As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be  at state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on it.

Hence, it is the unbalanced force which changes the state of rest or motion of a body. Balanced force is responsible for keeping the body to be either in static equilibrium or in dynamic equilibrium.

As per the options given in the question, the last one is true for an object under balanced forces.

Two masses are attracted by a gravitational force of 7 N.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: F  = 0.4375 N. The force will be 16 times lower than with the first conditions.

Explanation:

Data

F = 7 N

F = ?  if the masses is quartered

Formula

F = \frac{Km1m2}{r2}

Process

Normal conditions F = Km₁m₂/r²  = 7              

When masses quartered        F = K(m₁/4)(m₂/4)/r²  = ?

                                                F = K(m₁m₂/16)/r²

                                                F = K(m₁m₂/16r²      = 7/16  = 0.4375 N

A truck traveling at a velocity of 33m/s comes to a halt by decelerating at 11m/s^2. How far does the truck travel in the proces
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<u><em>The truck was moving 16.5 m/s during the time it took to stop, which was 3 seconds. </em></u>

  • <u><em>Initial velocity = 33 m/s</em></u>
  • <u><em>Final velocity = 0 m/s</em></u>
  • <u><em>Average velocity = (33 + 0) / 2  m/s = 16.5 m/s</em></u>

Explanation:

  1. <u><em>First, how long does it take the truck to come to a complete stop?</em></u>
  1. <u><em>( 33 m/s ) / ( 11 m / s^2 ) = 3 seconds</em></u>
  1. <u><em>Then we can look at the average velocity between when the truck started decelerating and when it came to a complete stop. Because the deceleration is constant (always 11m/s^2) we can use this trick.</em></u>

Which condition is necessary for total internal reflection? A. The refracted ray should lie along the boundary of the two media.
g100num [7]

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection, which is when light hits the boundary between two mediums and reflects back into its original medium:

Light is about to pass from a more optically dense medium (slower) to a less optically dense medium (faster).

The angle of incidence is greater than the defined critical angle for the two mediums, which is given by:

θ = sin⁻¹(n_{fast}/n_{slow})

Where θ = critical angle, n_{fast} = refractive index of faster medium, n_{slow} = refractive index of slower medium.

Choice C gives one of the above necessary conditions.

A car begins at rest (0 velocity), 5 seconds later it is travelling at 20 meters/per second. What was the acceleration of the ve
klasskru [66]

use the formula

v= u+ at

v is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and t is time

put the values

A pendulum of length L is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is at rest the period of the pendulum is
Stolb23 [73]
<h2>Option A is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

When an elevator moves upward with consonant acceleration a, the overall acceleration on the body is given by

                        a' = a + g

So acceleration of pendulum is a + g.

We have equation for period of simple pendulum

                     T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{a'}}

In normal case a' = g here a' is more.

From the equation we can see that period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to square root of acceleration.

Since acceleration increases period decreases.

Option A is the correct answer.
