What is an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium

Physics
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The essential characteristics of an object in equilibrium is acceleration of the object must  be zero.

Explanation:

Equilibrium: An object acted upon by several forces is said to be in equilibrium if it does no it moves or rotate. Equilibrium can be defined as the state of stability of an object.

Condition for equilibrium

(i) The resultant force acting on the object must me equal to zero.

(ii) The sum of moment acting on the object must be equal to zero.

But.

F = ma..................... Equation 1

Where F =  net force , m = mass, a = acceleration.

from the equation above,

For  F = 0 N, a must be equal to zero.

<em>From the above, the essential characteristics of an object in equilibrium is acceleration must be zero</em>

What is number 30,31 in this picture?
Maslowich
On question 30, that is a displacement- time graph (DT). On this type of graph the gradient is equal to the velocity. B has the steepest gradient, then A and finally C

Now velocity is a vector quantity so it has a direction and speed ( speed doesn't have a fixed direction.)

on the DT graph im going to assume that movement B is a positive velocity with A and C being negative. 
So by ranking these: A is the most negative, C is the least negative and B has to be the greatest as it is the only positive velocity. 

Q31, The same type of graph is present, by looking at the gradients we can rank the largest and smallest velocities- speeds in the case of the question. 
i'll skip my working out as its the same as before:

C, B, A and then D

the same idea as on Q30 applies to Q31 part b, 

D,C,B then A

In a laboratory, you determine that the density of a certain solid is 5.23×10−6kg/mm3. Convert this density into kilograms per c
madam [21]

Answer:

1 mm^3 = 1.0 x 10^-9 m³

Hence;

5.23 x 10^-6 kg/mm^-3 = (5.23 x 10^-6 kg)/ 1x10^-9 m³

= 5230 kg/m³
