Summarize Newton’s First Law

Physics
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]3 years ago
8 0
Newton's first law is "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."

Basically it means an object won't move unless something moves it, and an object won't stop moving unless something stops it.

While skydiving, your parachute opens and you slow from 50.0 m/s to 8.0 m/s in 0.75 s . Determine the distance you fall while th
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

21.75 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken for the car to slow down = 0.75 s

u = Initial velocity = 50 m/s

v = Final velocity = 8 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{8-50}{0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-56\ m/s^2

Acceleration is -56 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{8^2-50^2}{2\times -56}\\\Rightarrow s=21.75\ m

The distance covered in the 0.75 seconds is 21.75 m

Which sequence correctly reflects the order in which electrical charges occur during an action potential, from first to last?
Lady_Fox [76]
This sequence refer to how neurons send messages electrochemically. When the neurons are at rest, they are at its resting potential at -70 millivolts. If the neurons in the brain send messages, a spike would occur until it reaches the threshold potential at -55 mV. If it reaches the threshold potential, then an action potential occurs.Hence, the sequence would be letter C.

A plane travels 1743 KM in 2 hours 30 minutes. How fast was the plane traveling?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

v=697.2km/h

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the velocity is computed via the division of the distance traveled by the elapsed time:

V=\frac{d}{t}

The distance is clearly 1743 km and the time is:

t=2h+30min*\frac{1h}{60min} =2.5h

Thus, the velocity turns out:

v=\frac{1743km}{2.5h}\\ \\v=697.2km/h

Which is a typical velocity for a plane to allow it be stable when flying.

Best regards.

The apparent reversal of motion of planets against the backdrop of fixed stars is called
Free_Kalibri [48]

The planets move eastward against the background of fixed stars with the exception of Venus, Uranus and Pluto moving westward as seen in Earth's sky . This apparent retreating movement is called Retrograde motion. It is illusion created by Earth's movement going by outer planets in their respective orbits.

A car of mass 1470 kg is on an icy driveway
Schach [20]

Answer:

  a = 7.5 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law, let's create a coordinate system with the x axis parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane

Y axis

       N - W cos θ = 0

       N = mg cos θ

X axis

       W sin θ = m a

 

       mg sin θ = m a

        a = g sin θ

let's calculate

        a = 9.8 cos 40

        a = 7.5 m / s²
