Answer:

The statement is incorrect because, a force acting on an object does not necessarily have to produce motion.

People have the misconception that when a force acts on an object it always produces motion

Explanation:

The statement is incorrect because, a force acting on an object does not necessarily have to produce motion. It could be in static equilibrium where the net force is zero and produces not motion. The body could also be in dynamic equilibrium when  no net force acts on it moving at a constant velocity. But here we are concerned with static equilibrium since the body does not move at all.

People have the misconception that when a force acts on an object it always produces motion and, we have seen from the above tat its not always true.

A car travels 60 miles due West first then turns back and travels 120 miles due East in 3 hours. What is...
ella [17]

Answer:

<h2>A. 180 miles</h2><h2>B. 60 miles</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

In this problem, we are required to solve for the total distance that the car travelled. and the displacement

A) the distance travelled by car

this can be gotten by summing all the distances the car has travelled.

i,e total distance= 60 miles+120 miles

total distance= 180 miles

B) the displacement of the car

the displacement can be gotten by  subtracting the final distance from the initial distance

final distance = 120 miles

initial distance= 60 miles

displacement= 120-60= 60 miles

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The period is T =  0.700 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The mass is m =  0.350  \ kg

     The extension of the spring is  x =  12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m

       

The spring constant for this is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

Where F is the force on the spring which is mathematically evaluated as

       F  =  mg  =  0.350 * 9.8

       F  =3.43 \ N

So  

    k  = \frac{3.43 }{ 0.12}

    k  = 28.583 \ N/m

The period of oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

      T =  2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

substituting values

     T =  2  *  3.142*  \sqrt{\frac{0.35 }{28.583} }

     T =  0.700 \ s

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?
blondinia [14]
The characteristic of a circuit actually indicate how the circuit functions. When one designs a circuit they have a specific function in mind and must know how to combine components in order to fulfill this functions.
