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.

The speed of a certain electron is 995 km s−1 . If the uncertainty in its momentum is to be reduced to 0.0010 per cent, what unc
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The uncertainty in the location that must be tolerated is 1.163 * 10^{-5} m

Explanation:

From the uncertainty Principle,

Δ_{y} Δ_{p} = \frac{h}{2\pi }

The momentum P_{y} = (mass of electron)(speed of electron)

                                = (9.109 * 10^{-31}kg)(995 * 10^{3} m/s)

                                = 9.0638 * 10^{-25}kgm/s

If the uncertainty is reduced to a 0.0010%, then momentum

                              = 9.068 * 10^{-30}kgm/s

Thus the uncertainty in the position would be:

                              Δ_{y} = \frac{h}{2\pi } * \frac{1}{9.068 * 10^{-30} }

                              Δ_{y} \geq  1.163 * 10^{-5}m

Why do transformers hum? Transformer noise is caused by a phenomenon which causes a piece of magnetic sheet steel to extend itself when magnetized. When the magnetization is taken away, it goes back to its original condition. This phenomenon is scientifically referred to as magnetostriction.

Monochromatic light of wavelength, lambda, is traveling in air. The light then strikes a thin film having an index of refraction
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The  correct option is  H

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The index of refraction of  coating is  n_1

       The  index of refraction of material  is  n_2

   

Generally the condition for constructive for a thin film interference is mathematically represented

            2 *  t  = [ m  + \frac{1}{2}] \frac{\lambda}{n_1 }

Here  t represents the thickness

For minimum thickness  m =  0

So

           2 *  t  =0  + \frac{1}{2}\frac{\lambda}{n_1 }

=>        t  =\frac{\lambda}{4n_1 }

A block is released from rest, at a height h, and allowed to slide down an inclined plane. There is friction on the plane. At th
GREYUIT [131]

Here the block has two work done on it

1. Work done by gravity

2. Work done by friction force

So here it start from height "h" and then again raise to height hA after compressing the spring

So work done by the gravity is given as

W_g = m_A g(h - h_A)

Now work done by the friction force is to be calculated by finding total path length because friction force is a non conservative force and its work depends on total path

W_f = -(\mu m_A g cos\theta)(\frac{h}{sin\theta} + \frac{h_A}{sin\theta})

W_f = -\mu m_A g cot\theta(h + h_A)

Total work done on it

W = m_A g(h - h_A) - \mu m_A g cot\theta(h + h_A)

So answer will be

None of these
