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

28. A stone is projected at a cliff of height h with an initial speed of 42.0 mls directed at angle θ0 = 60.0° above the horizon
Julli [10]

Answer:

a) 51.8 m, b) 27.4 m/s, c) 142 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 42.0 m/s

θ = 60.0°

t = 5.50 s

Find:

h, v, and H

a) y = y₀ + v₀ᵧ t + ½ gt²

0 = h + (42.0 sin 60.0) (5.50) + ½ (-9.8) (5.50)²

h = 51.8 m

b) vᵧ = gt + v₀ᵧ

vᵧ = (-9.8)(5.5) + (42.0 sin 60.0)

vᵧ = -17.5 m/s

vₓ = 42.0 cos 60.0

vₓ = 21.0 m/s

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v = 27.4 m/s

c) vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2g(y - y₀)

0² = (42.0)² + 2(-9.8)(H - 51.8)

H = 142 m

Which of the following actions in a car cause it to accelerate? Select all that apply.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Option (b) will be correct answer for accelerating the car

Explanation:

For accelerating the car we have to speed up the car

In option (b) it is given that stepping on the gas pedal to speed up the car so it is correct answer

In option (c) it is given that pressing the pedal to slow down the car it is a case of deceleration so it is a incorrect statement.

In option (d) it is given that speed is constant at curved path so acceleration will be zero because if there is no change in velocity then acceleration will be zero
