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

stira [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the brick, m = 1.15 kg

Radius of the circle, r = 1.44 m

The cable will break if the tension exceeds 43.0 N

Let v is the maximum sped can have at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break. At the bottom of the circle, the net force is equal to the centripetal force along with the weight of the brick. So,

T=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg

\dfrac{T}{m}-g=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{T}{m}-g)r}

v=\sqrt{(\dfrac{43}{1.15}-9.8)\times 1.44}

v = 6.30 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the brick at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break is 6.3 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

) A coin is tossed 13 times. a) How many different outcomes are possible? 2^8 b) How many different outcomes have exactly 4 head
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) A coin has two sides, therefore the total outcome possible when a coin is tossed is 2 i.e Head (H) and Tail (T)

outcome of two coins will be 4 i.e 2^2

Outcome of three coins will be 8 i.e 2^3 and so on. Since its following a trend, the outcome when 'n' coins is tossed will be 2^n.

Using the general formula, the possible outcome when a coin is tossed 13 times will be "2^13"

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the door that leads to the room is opened, this gives room for particles to move into the next identical room and divided into octants. Now the amount of space that can be occupied becomes double, the number of basic states has increased by 404916
