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

Sindrei [870]

Answer:F=4F

Explanation: Columbs law states that The force between the two point charges is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them

Force between the two charges is given by

F=K*q1*q2/r^2

if one charge become 4 times, new force is,

F=4(K*q1*q2)/r^2

F=4F

Where q1 and q2 are the point charges

r is the distance between the two charges

K is a constant of proportion called electrostatic force

A car moves in a straight line at 22.0 m/s for 10.0miles, then at 30.0 m/s for another 10.0miles. Calculate the car’s average sp

maw [93]

Answer: 25.38 m/s

Explanation:

We have a straight line where the car travels a total distance $D$ , which is divided into two segments $d=10 miles$ :

$D=d+d=2d$ (1)

Where $d=10mi \frac{1609.34 m}{1 mi}=16093.4 m$

On the other hand, we know speed is defined as:

$S=\frac{d}{t}$ (2)

Where $t$ is the time, which can be isolated from (2):

$t=\frac{d}{S}$ (3)

Now, for the first segment $d=16093.4 m$ the car has a speed $S_{1}=22m/s$ , using equation (3):

$t_{1}=\frac{d}{S_{1}}$ (4)

$t_{1}=\frac{16093.4 m}{22m/s}$ (5)

$t_{1}=731.518 s$ (6) This is the time it takes to travel the first segment

For the second segment $d=16093.4 m$ the car has a speed $S_{1}=30m/s$ , hence:

$t_{2}=\frac{d}{S_{2}}$ (7)

$t_{2}=\frac{16093.4 m}{30m/s}$ (8)

$t_{2}=536.44 s$ (9) This is the time it takes to travel the secons segment

Having these values we can calculate the car's average speed $S_{ave}$ :

$S_{ave}=\frac{d + d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}=\frac{2d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}$ (10)

$S_{ave}=\frac{2(16093.4 m)}{731.518 s +536.44 s}$ (11)

Finally:

$S_{ave}=25.38 m/s$

Sever21 [200]

Answer:Theoretical Discussion

The diffraction of classical waves refers to the phenomenon wherein the waves encounter an obstacle that fragments the wave into components that interfere with one another. Interference simply means that the wave fronts add together to make a new wave which can be significantly different than the original wave. For example, a pair of sine waves having the same amplitude, but being 180◦ out of phase will sum to zero, since everywhere one is positive, the other is negative by an equal amount.
