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

The wheel of a stationary exercise bicycle at your gym makes one rotation in 0.670 s. Consider two points on this wheel: Point P
lesya [120]

Answer:

a) For P: v=0.938\frac{m}{s}

For Q: v = 1.876\frac{m}{s}

b) For P:

a_{rad}=8.80\frac{m}{s^{2}}

for Q:

a_{rad}=17.60\frac{m}{s^{2}}

c) As the distance from the axis increases then speed increases too.

Explanation:

a) Assuming constant angular acceleration we can find the angular speed of the wheel dividing the angular displacement θ between time of rotation:

\omega =\frac{\theta}{t}

One rotation is 360 degrees or 2π radians, so θ=2π

\omega =\frac{2\pi}{0.670} =9.38\frac{rad}{s}

Angular acceleration is at every point on the wheel, but speed (tangential speed) is different and depends on the position (R) respect the rotation axis, the equation that relates angular speed and speed is:

v = \omega R

for P:

v = 9.38\frac{rad}{s}*0.1m=0.938\frac{m}{s}

for Q:

v = 9.38\frac{rad}{s}*0.2m=1.876\frac{m}{s}

b) Centripetal acceleration is:

a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{R}

for P:

a_{rad}= \frac{(0.938)^2}{0.1}=8.80\frac{m}{s^{2}}

for Q:

a_{rad}= \frac{(1.876)^2}{0.2}=17.60\frac{m}{s^{2}}

c) As seen on a) speed and distance from axis is v = \omega R because ω is constant the if R increases then v increases too.

Isla made a diagram to compare X-rays and radio waves.
pickupchik [31]

A: Has a higher frequency --> X-rays

B: Travels at the same speed --> Both

C: Has a longer wavelength --> Radio waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light (c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s) in a vacuum, and they are transverse in nature (the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of propagation).

Electromagnetic waves are classified into different types according to their wavelength and frequency. In order from shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency, since frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength), we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Therefore, we can no says that:

X-rays: has a higher frequency than Radio waves

Radio waves: have a longer wavelength than x-rays

Both: they travel at the same speed

Therefore, the correct pairing is:

A: Has a higher frequency --> X-rays

B: Travels at the same speed --> Both

C: Has a longer wavelength --> Radio waves

How long will bus take to travel 150 km at an average speed of 40km/hr
romanna [79]

Answer:

3.75 hours

Explanation:

By v = \frac{d}{t}

where v is the velocity (or speed in this case)

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

t = \frac{150}{40}=3.75
Therefore it takes 3.75 hours for the bus to travel 150 km and 40 km/hr.

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 160 feet with an initial speed of 144 feet per second.
Leviafan [203]
Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is: 

<span>s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. </span>

<span>This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. </span>

<span>Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet. </span>
