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.

block is attached to an oscillating spring. The function below shows its position (cm) vs. time (s). What is the angular frequen
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Angular frequency is 20 rad/s.      

Explanation:

Given that,

A block is attached to an oscillating spring. The function below shows its position (cm) vs. time (s) is given by :

x(t)=1.5\cos(20\ t).....(1)

The general equation of oscillating particle is given by :

x(t)=A\cos(\omega t).......(2)

Compare equation (1) and (2) we get :

\omega=20\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the oscillation is 20 rad/s.

Which answer is a scientifically accurate description of velocity?
Tcecarenko [31]

The boat traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

Explanation:

A boat traveling from the dock northward to a 200m mark in the bay in less than 5minutes giving the passengers several more hours to fish is a typical and best example of velocity description.

Velocity is the displacement of a body divided by the time taken.

 Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

Displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction. Time is duration of the travel.

Velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. This implies that the value of velocity is recorded with a directional attribute.

We can say velocity is the speed of a body in a given direction

Only the last option gives the displacement of the body and the duration it traveled.

An astronaut on a spacewalk accidentally drops a tool, and it floats away.Which of the following objects is exerting a gravitati
a_sh-v [17]

Gravitational force is given as

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

so here gravitational force will be given by above formula where the force between two objects depends on the mass of two objects and distance between them.

Now here since the tool is at finite distance from Astronaut and Moon, Sun, Earth

So all the above will exert gravitational force on the tool but the magnitude of force will be different as all of the above are of different masses and situated at different distance.

So all options are correct here

The Astronaut

The Moon

The Sun

The Earth

The distance between two adjacent peaks on a wave is called the wavelength. The wavelength of a beam of ultraviolet light is 113
Vesna [10]

Answer:

0.000000113 or 1.13*10^{-7} meters

Explanation:

One nanometer is 10^{-9} meters. So 113 nanometers would be 113*10^{-9}, or 1.13*10^{-7} meters. That's expessed on "cientific notation." On the "usual" notation, it will be 0.000000113 meters.
