According to the first Newton Law of Motion (sometimes called <u><em>Law of Inertia</em></u>):


An object at rest or describing a uniform straight line motion (<u>moving at constant velocity)</u>, will remain at rest or moving unless an external force is applied to it and changes its state of rest or motion.

In other words:

An object or body will keep its state of motion until an external force changes its state

<u>This means that </u><u>objects tend to remain in its state of motion</u><u>, and is the definition of the inertia</u>, as well.

Now, going back to the spacecraft in deep space of the question, if some force acts on it, the spacecraft will change its state and move in the same direction of the force applied.

It will also keep this path until another <u>external force</u> <em>stops</em>, <em>accelerates</em> or <em>changes</em> its direction.

Therefore, the right answer is C:


The spacecraft will move and will not stop until it is stopped by an equal and opposite force.  


Options A, B and D are <u>not correc</u>t because:

A) The spacecraft cannot stop by its own; this would break Newton’s Laws of Motion

B) In deep space there is not air resistance, is <u>vacuum.</u>

D) The spacecraft works in space

What are the advantage of so unit​
jeka94

Answer:

The greatest advantage of SI is that it has only one unit for each quantity (type of measurement). This means that it is never necessary to convert from one unit to another (within the system) and there are no conversion factors for students to memorize.

Please mark brainliest :)

Using Gauss's law, calculate the electric field at a point distance s from a long wire bearing uniform charge density. i need he
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

E = 2k  \frac{\lambda}{ r}

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the electric flux equals the wax charge between the dielectric permeability.

We must define a Gaussian surface that takes advantage of the symmetry of the problem, let's use a cylinder with the faces perpendicular to the line of charge. Therefore the angle between the cylinder side area has the same direction of the electric field which is radial.

            Ф = ∫ E . dA = E ∫ dA = q_{int} /ε₀

tells us that the linear charge density is

            λ = q_ {int} /l

            q_ {int} = l λ

we substitute

            E A = l λ /ε₀

is area of ​​cylinder is

           A = 2π r l

we substitute

            E = \frac{ l \ \lambda}{ \epsilon_o \ 2\pi  \ r \ l }

             E = \frac{\lambda}{ 2\pi  \epsilon_o \ r}

the amount

            k = 1 / 4πε₀

            E = 2k  \frac{\lambda}{ r}

Describe the importance of the neutron in a atomic nuclei ​
RUDIKE [14]

Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.

Hope it helps!
