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

Mamont248 [21]

We'll look at two properties:

1. The variation in temperature

2. The material's heat transfer coefficient

By taking an example;

Use a circular rod made of a certain material (for example, steel) that is insulated all the way around.

One end of the rod is immersed in a huge reservoir of 100°C water, while the other is immersed in water  at 40°C. The cold water is kept in an insulated cylinder on both sides. The temp of the chilly water is measured using a meter as a time - dependent.

Conclusion of experiment;

  • Heat is transferred from a hot location to a cooler region.
  • Whenever heat is applied to a body, its thermal power rises, and its temperature rises.

Many asteroids are found between mars and which other celestial body?.
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Main Asteroid Belt: The majority of known asteroids orbit within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, generally with not very elongated orbits. The belt is estimated to contain between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) in diameter, and millions of smaller ones.

How does your power output in climbing the stairs compared to the power output of a 100 watt
alexdok [17]

Answer:

1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is

So the power output is

And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.

2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.
