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

Question 1 Water: Start with the Water tab. Note that light areas represent places where the water is high (crests). Dark areas
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Looks like a cosine function graph. The wave pattern is transversal waves . The faster the amplitude the higher the wave. The force of the drop hitting the water pushes the water down and out causing waves  If the water hits from a higher amplitude the waves raise bigger . When you increase the frequency of the water drops the waves move faster but no bigger.  When you increase the frequency of the water drops the wave ripples faster .

How does the function of the parts of the system contribute to its function as a whole
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Answer and explanation: Just as the organs in an organ system work together to accomplish their task, so the different organ systems also cooperate to keep the body running. For example, the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce.
