In the absence of air resistance and friction, what will happen to the velocity of an object going at 20 m/s E?

MariettaO [177]3 years ago

In the absence of any other forces, the object will continue to move at 20 m/s E.

In fact, Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass and the acceleration of the object:
\sum F = ma
therefore, if there are no forces acting on the object, the term on the left is zero, and the acceleration of the object is zero as well. This means that the object will continue its motion with constant speed, and in the same direction.

Taya2010 [7]

The speed of the ball with respect to Dina is 0.800c.

A frame of reference is a set of reference points—geometric points whose positions are known mathematically and physically—that define the origin, orientation, and scale of an abstract coordinate system.

If a body does not continuously adjust its position in relation to its environment throughout the course of time, it is said to be at rest.

In frame S', Dina and Owen are at rest.

The speed of the ball with respect to Owen, u =0.800c

The speed of the fram S' with respect to frame S,  v = 0.600c

Distance between Dina and Owen, L(p) = 1.8 × 10¹² m

Speed of light, c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball according to Dina is 0.800c. As Dina and Owen are in the same frame.

WINSTONCH [101]
The British physicist Joseph John (J. J.) Thomson (1856–1940) performed a series of experiments in 1897 designed to study the nature of electric discharge in a high-vacuum cathode-ray tube, an area being investigated by many scientists at the time. Thomson's model showed the atom as a positively charged ball of matter with negatively changed electrons floating freely around inside of it. This model showed the atom having no structure. There are also no protons and neutrons in this model. Thomson knew that the atom had positively and negatively charges particles in it he just didn't know how they were arranged. <span>Today's model gives us a much clearer picture of the atom. There is a positively charged center of the atom that is denser than the rest of it called the nucelus. This dense center is made up of positively charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons.  Around the outside of the nucleus the electrons are organized on rings. These electrons are arranged in  a certain pattern that is the same for all atoms.</span>

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

3.46 %

Explanation:

We have given cooler temperature that is T_c = 6°C =273+6=279 K

And the warm temperature of water that is T_h=16^{\circ}C=16+273=289\ K

The maximum possible efficiency is given by \eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

So maximum efficiency \eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}=1-\frac{279}{289}=0.0346=3.46 %
