Physics
1 answer:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago
8 0

At the equator, the North Celestial and South Celestial Poles would lie on the horizon where the meridian intersects the horizon. Polaris is called the "North Star." ... Polaris is special because the Earth's North Pole points almost exactly towards it.

A car is moving in the positive direction along a straight highway and accelerates at a constant rate while going from point A t
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The time where the avergae speed equals the instaneous speed is T/2

Explanation:

The velocity of the car is:

v(t) = v0 + at

Where v0 is the initial speed and a is the constant acceleration.

Let's find the average speed. This is given integrating the velocity from 0 to T and dividing by T:

v_{ave} = \frac{1}{T}\int\limits^T_0 {v(t)} \, dt

v_ave = v0+a(T/2)

We can esaily note that when <u><em>t=T/2</em></u><u><em> </em></u>

v(T/2)=v_ave

Now we want to know where the car should be, the osition of the car is:

x(t) = x_A + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

Where x_A is the position of point A. Therefore, the car will be at:

<u><em>x(T/2) = x_A + v_0 (T/2) + (1/8)aT^2</em></u>

Which of the following statements is not one of Newton's laws of motion?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The answer to your question: d.

Explanation:

a. The rate of change of momentum of an object is equal to the net force applied to the object.  

This is the second a law of motion, so this answer is incorrect.

b. In the absence of a net force acting on it, an object moves with constant velocity.

This is the first Newton law of motion, so this option is not correct.

c. For any force, there always is an equal and opposite reaction force.

This is the third law of motion, so this is not the right option.

d. What goes up must come down.

Newton said this sentence, but is not part of the law of motion.
