If all of the forces acting on an object balance so that the net force is zero, then

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is (A) the object must be at rest.

When all of the forces acting on an object balance, the net force is zero and hence the object will not move.

Yes, the direction might also change under some special circumstances.

In a chemical reaction, molecules of hydrogen gas (H2) react with molecules of oxygen gas (O2) in a sealed reaction chamber to p

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that the molecules of hydrogen gas ( $H_2$ ) react with molecules of oxygen gas ( $O_2$ ) in a sealed reaction chamber to produce water ( $H_2O$ ).

The governing equation for the reaction is

$2H_2 +O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O$

From the given, the only fact that can be observed that 2 moles of $H_2$ and 1 mole of $O_2$ reacts to produce 2 moles of $H_2O$ .

As the mass of 1 mole of $H_2 = 2$ grams ... (i)

The mass of 1 mole of $O_2 = 32$ grams ...(ii)

The mass of 1 mole of $H_2O = 18$ grams (iii)

Now, the mass of the reactant = Mass of 2 moles of $H_2$ + mass 1 mole of $O_2$

$= 2 \times 2 + 32$ [ using equations (i) and (ii)]

$=4+32 = 36$ grams.

Mass of the product = Mass of 2 moles of $H_2O$

$=2\times 18$ [ using equations (iii)]

=36 grams

As the mass of reactants = mass of the product.

So, mass is conserved.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function 5 − 10t m/s2 . (a) What is the velocity function? (b) What is the p

frez [133]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function as :

$a(t)=(5-10t)\ m/s^2$

(a) Since, $a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

v = velocity

$dv=a.dt$

$v=\int(a.dt)$

$v=\int(5-10t)(dt)$

$v=5t-\dfrac{10t^2}{2}=5t-5t^2$

(b) $v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

x = position

$x=\int v.dt$

$x=\int (5t-5t^2)dt$

$x=\dfrac{5}{2}t^2-\dfrac{5}{3}t^3$

(c) Velocity function is given by :

$v=5t-5t^2$

$5t-5t^2=0$

t = 1 seconds

So, at t = 1 second the velocity of the particle is zero.

2) Two ice skaters have masses m1 and m2 and are initially stationary. Their skates are identical. They push against one another

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

m_1 / m_2 = sqrt (1 / 2)

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial velocity of both skaters V_i = 0

- Velocity of skater 1 after push = V_1

- Velocity of skater after push = V_2

- Distance traveled by skater 1 = s_1

- Distance traveled by skater 2 = s_2

- s_1 = 2*s_2

- Accelerations of both skaters to halt is equal

Find:

What is the ratio m1/m2 of their masses

Solution:

- Apply conservation of momentum for two skaters just before and after the push as follows:

P_i = P_f

0 = m_1*V_1 - m_2*V_2

- Evaluate: m_1 / m_2 = ( V_2 / V_1 )

- Apply Conservation of Energy on both skaters as follows:

- Skater 1:

0.5*m_1*V_1^2 = u_k*m_1*g*s_1

-Simplify: 0.5*V_1^2 = u_k*g*(2*s_2)

- Skater 2:

0.5*m_2*V_2^2 = u_k*m_2*g*s_2

-Simplify: 0.5*V_2^2 = u_k*g*s_2

- Divide the two energy equations for skaters:

(V_1 / V_2)^2 = 2

(V_2 / V_1)^2 = 1 / 2

- simplify: (V_2 / V_1) = sqrt (1 / 2)

-Hence from earlier momentum conservation results:

m_1 / m_2 = ( V_2 / V_1 ) = sqrt (1 / 2)

Provide reasons why a renewable service is more valuable than a non-renewable services

uysha [10]

One small reason would be renewable resources can be used more and never lose supply on the other hand non-renewable resources will one day run out
