Before we understood that objects have a tendency to maintain their velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by a net force

, people thought that objects have a tendency to stop on their own. This happened because a specific force was not yet understood. What was that force?

Answer:Friction force

Explanation:

The frictional force is responsible for stopping the moving object.

The friction force is provided by nature in the form of air resistance, fluid resistance, Surface resistance.

For surface resistance, the friction force is of two types namely kinetic friction force and static friction force.

Static friction acts when the object is stationary and a force is applied to cause the motion while kinetic friction acts when the body starts moving.

kinetic friction is lesser is in magnitude as compared to static friction.

blagie [28]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

Initially, the ice cube is floating over the water

When the cube is pressed to touch the bottom, it is submerged fully

Therefore more buoyant force is acting on it

At first, a part of the volume is submerged in the water, so the buoyant force is less, but as the entire cube is immersed in the water, the buoyant force increases.

3. A car has a mass of 1000kg. What is its weight?<br><br> A) 9.81x10 ^ 3N<br> B) 1.89x10 ^ 3N
Strike441 [17]

Answer

A

Explanation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 1000 x 9.81

= 9810 or 9.81x10^ 3

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Option B. quantum mechanics

Explanation:

Quantum Mechanics, at atomic and sub-atomic levels deal with the study of how particles at this level behave and how the matter and energy interacts.

It also explains the properties of atoms, molecules and the particles constituting these.

The wave- particle duality of quantum mechanics that says that matter or every quantum of it exhibits wave as well as particle nature.

This theory was incorporated with its mathematical description given by Schrodinger was also incorporated in the theory for eave-particle duality and The probability for the existence of particle was determined.
