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 train travels 81 kilometers in 2 hours and then 88 kilometers in 2 hours what is its average speed​
Blababa [14]

Average speed = total distance / total time

= (81 + 88) / (2 + 2)

= 169/4

= 42.25 kilometers/hour

You adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air. You increase the temperature from 30°C to
earnstyle [38]

The correct answer to the question is : D) 352.6 m/s.

CALCULATION :

As per the question, the temperature is increased from 30 degree celsius to 36 degree celsius.

We are asked to calculate the velocity of sound at 36 degree celsius.

Velocity of sound is dependent on temperature. More is the temperature, more is velocity of sound.

The velocity at this temperature is calculated as -

                            V = 331  + 0.6T m/s

                               = 331 + 0.6 × 36 m/s

                               = 331 + 21.6 m/s

                               = 352.6 m/s.

Here, T denotes the temperature of the surrounding.

Hence, velocity of the sound will be 352.6 m/s.

A rod (length = 80 cm) with a rectangular cross section (1.5 mm × 2.0 mm) has a resistance of 0.20 Ω. What is the resistivity of
Andru [333]

Answer:

The resistivity of the material used to make the rod is ρ= 7.5 * 10⁻⁷ Ω.m

Explanation:

R= 0.2 Ω

L= 0.8 m

S= 1.5mm*2mm= 3 mm² = 3 * 10⁻⁶ m²

ρ = (R*S)/L

ρ= 7.5 * 10⁻⁷ Ω.m
