Which situation is contrary to Newton’s first law of motion? An object at rest begins to move when an external force is applied.

A moving object has a constant velocity under the influence of balanced forces. An object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it. A moving object slows down when an external force is applied.

Newton's first law establishes the following:

An object will remain at rest or with uniform rectilinear motion unless an external force acts on it.

Therefore, we have that a case contrary to Newton's first law is:

Unbalanced forces acting on an object at rest, cause the object to remain at rest.

It is false, because if the forces are unbalanced, then the object will not remain at rest because external forces act on the object.

Answer:

A situation that is contrary to Newton's first law of motion is:

An object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.

Which transition by an electron will release the greatest amount of energy? hurry!
Sphinxa [80]

highest energy level to the ground state.

Explanation:

The transition from the highest energy level to the ground state.

An electron has a discrete amount of energy accrued to it in any energy level it belongs to.

Electrons can transition between one energy level or the other.

  • When electrons change state, they either release or absorb energy.
  • When an atom absorbs energy, they move from their ground to final state which is consistent with the energy of the final state.
  • When electrons release energy, they move from excited state to their ground state.
  • Electrons will release the greatest amount of energy when they move from the highest energy level to the ground state.

A stuffed toy with a mass of 0.900 kilograms sits on the edge of a bed at a height of 0.830 if the toy falls off the bed what wi
Olenka [21]
Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.

Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).

At the start:

ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J
