Answer:

only one: a sky diver falling at a constant speed

Explanation:

Let's recall that acceleration is a change in velocity, which means either a change in the speed of an object or a change in its direction.

let's now analyze each situation:

- a race car going around a circular track at 150 mph --> here the direction of motion is changing, so the object is accelerating

a sky diver falling at a constant speed --> here both the speed and the direction are constant, so the object is NOT accelerating

- a heavy box sliding across the floor, after being released  --> here the speed is changing (In particular, it will decrease, as the friction will slow down the box), so the object is accelerating

- a bowling ball colliding with a pin --> here the speed is changing (when the ball colides with the pin, it slows down), so the object is accelerating

- a vibrating guitar string --> the speed of the vibrating string changes during the vibration (and the direction as well), so the object is accelerating

- a baseball flying through the air --> the speed of the baseball is changing (because there are unbalanced forces acting on the flying ball: the gravity and the air resistance), so the object is accelerating

- a child swinging on a swing --> the speed of the child is changing (and the direction as well) during the oscillation, so the object is accelerating


So, there is only 1 situation in which objects are NOT accelerating:

a sky diver falling at a constant speed

A particle of mass 10 g and charge 72 μC moves through a uniform magnetic field, in a region where the free-fall acceleration is
sineoko [7]

Answer:

-0.07163\hat k\ T or 0.07163 T into the page

Explanation:

m = Mass of particle = 10 g

a = Acceleration due to gravity = -9.8j m/s²

v = Velocity of particle = 19i km/s

q = Charge of particle = 72 μC

B = Magnetic field

Here the magnetic and gravitational forces on the particle are applied in the opposite direction so,

F_b=F_g

F_b=qvBsin\theta\\\Rightarrow F_b=qvBsin90\\\Rightarrow F_b=72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000B

F_g=ma\\\Rightarrow F_g=0.01\times -9.8

72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000B=0.01\times -9.8\\\Rightarrow B=\frac{0.01\times -9.8}{72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000}\\\Rightarrow B=-0.07163\hat k\ T

The magnetic field is 0.07163 T into the page

What happen when a star dies?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
It depends on the size of the star. If it's size was normal then it cools down into White dwarf, then a black dwarf. If a really huge star dies, then we can see a "Supernova" from that.

Hope this helps!!

How are balanced & unbalanced forces related to net force?
Levart [38]

Answer:

An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... A net force = unbalanced force. If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.

If the sun had twice the mace how would that affect the gravitational force of the sun
daser333 [38]

Answer:  Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun. Gravity alone holds us to Earth's surface.

Planets have measurable properties, such as size, mass, density, and composition. A planet's size and mass determines its gravitational pull.

A planet's mass and size determines how strong its gravitational pull is.

Models can help us experiment with the motions of objects in space, which are determined by the gravitational pull between them.
