No, because if the net force were 0, it would either be at rest or moving in constant velocity.

Answer:

No, the net force cannot be zero.

Explanation:

From newton's second law,

ΣFnet = ma

Since a is accelerating I.e it is change velocity with respect to time taken, since acceleration can only occur when the force acting on the body is not balanced.

Then Fnet cannot be zero.

Now, if Fnet is zero

Fnet = ma=0

It shows that, the acceleration is zero. So since the body is accelerating, then the net force can not be zero

A vertical spring withk= 245N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 19.2cm when 0.457kg hangs from it. The mass posses through the e
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

 y = -19.2 sin (23.15t) cm

Explanation:

The spring mass system is an oscillatory movement that is described by the equation

      y = yo cos (wt + φ)

Let's look for the terms of this equation the amplitude I

     y₀ = 19.2 cm

Angular velocity is

     w = √ (k / m)

     w = √ (245 / 0.457

     w = 23.15 rad / s

The φ phase is determined for the initial condition   t = 0 s ,  the velocity is negative v (0) = -vo

The speed of the equation is obtained by the derivative with respect to time

     v = dy / dt

     v = - y₀ w sin (wt + φ)

For t = 0

     -vo = -yo w sin φ

The angular and linear velocity are related v = w r

      v₀ = w r₀

      v₀ = v₀ sinφ

      sinφ = 1

      φ = sin⁻¹ 1

      φ = π / 4    rad

Let's build the equation

      y = 19.2 cos (23.15 t + π/ 4)

Let's use the trigonometric ratio π/ 4 = 90º

      Cos (a +90) = cos a cos90 - sin a sin sin 90 = 0 - sin a

       y = -19.2 sin (23.15t) cm

Two protons are 9.261 fm apart. (1 fm= 1 femtometer = 1 x 10^-15 m.) What is the ratio of the electric force to the gravitationa
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

1.24\times 10^{36}

Explanation:

q = magnitude of charge on each proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = mass of each proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

r = distance between the two protons = 1 x 10⁻¹⁵ m

Electric force between the two protons is given as

F_{e} = \frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{e} = \frac{(9\times 10^{9})(1.6\times 10^{-19})^{2}}{(1\times 10^{-15})^{2}}

F_{e} = 230.4 N

Gravitational force between the two protons is given as

F_{g} = \frac{Gm^{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{g} = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(1.67\times 10^{-27})^{2}}{(1\times 10^{-15})^{2}}

F_{g} = 1.86\times 10^{-34} N

Ratio is given as

Ratio =\frac{F_{e}}{F_{g}}

Ratio =\frac{230.4}{1.86\times 10^{-34}}

Ratio = 1.24\times 10^{36}
