An astronaut throws a rock. the rock travels through outer space at a constant velocity. which statement applies to the motion o

f this rock?
A- an unbalanced force is acting on the rock, causing it to accelerate.
B-the rock will undergo constant acceleration until a force acts on it.
C- The rock will continue on its current path until an unbalanced force acts on it.
D- The force that makes the rock move through space is equal to its mass divided by its velocity

This is an example of Newton's first law of motion:


An object at rest will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. Similarly, a moving object will remain moving in a straight line at constant velocity unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.


The answer is C.

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy
cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference.  So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative. 

What that means is:  You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom.  Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes.  So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

Which property of light would provide evidence for the idea that light is a wave?
Lena [83]

Color property of light would provide evidence for the idea that light is a wave

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The reality is that light manifests practices that are representative of both waves and particles. Young proposed that light of varying colors was formed of waves possessing various lengths, a basic theory that is popularly believed today. In contradiction, the particle theory advocates envisioned that several colors were obtained from particles holding either various masses or moving at various speeds.

All waves are perceived to experience refraction when they transpire from one means to another means. Light, similar to any wave, is apprehended to refract as it transfers from one medium into another medium.
