If the acceleration of a moving object is zero, the object remains at a constant speed (without friction)

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the newton's second law, the force exerted on an object is equal to the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration of the body.

F = m x a

Where, F is the force and a be the acceleration and m be the mass of the body.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the body.

As acceleration is zero, so

a = 0

v - u = 0

Where, v is the final velocity of the body and u be the initial velocity of the body.

It means the body is moving with uniform velocity.

A force of 5N and a force of 8N act to the same point and are inclined at 45degree to each other. Find the magnitude and directi

Alex_Xolod [135]

Magnitude: 12.1 N.
Direction: 17.0° to the 8 N force.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to the diagram attached (created with GeoGebra). Consider the 5 N force in two directions: parallel to the 8 N force and normal to the 8 N force.

$\displaystyle F_{\text{1, Parallel}} = F_1 \cdot \cos{45^\textdegree} = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}$ .
$\displaystyle F_{\text{1, Normal}} = F_1 \cdot \sin{45^\textdegree} = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}$ .

The sum of forces on each direction will be the resultant force on that direction:

Resultant force parallel to the 8 N force: $(8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})\;\text{N}$ .
Resultant force normal to the 8 N force: $\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}$ .

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant force.

$\displaystyle \Sigma F = \sqrt{{(8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})}^2 + {(\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})}^2} = 12.1\;\text{N}$ (3 sig. fig.).

The size of the angle between the resultant force and the 8 N force can be found from the tangent value of the angle. Tangent of the angle:

$\displaystyle \dfrac{\Sigma F_\text{Normal}}{\Sigma F_\text{Parallel}} = \dfrac{8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}} \approx 0.306491$ .

Find the size of the angle using inverse tangent:

$\displaystyle \arctan{ \dfrac{\Sigma F_\text{Normal}}{\Sigma F_\text{Parallel}}} = \arctan{0.306491} = 17.0\textdegree$ .

In other words, the resultant force is 17.0° relative to the 8 N force.

<span>Organelles which are very important in giving nutrients. During cellular respiration, the food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.</span>
