True
<span> An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.this is newtons first law</span>

How can u tell matched forces act on objects?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,

then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of

these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be a group of forces (two or more) acting on

an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced".  When

that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed

is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line.  In that case, it's not

possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it

A cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12m/s when he passes a stationary bus.The bus starts moving just as the cyclist passes
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A.) 8 seconds

B.) 16 seconds

C.) 48 m

Explanation:

Given that a cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12 m/s

and the bus accelerates uniformly at 1.5ms²

A.) The bus has the following parameters

Acceleration a = 1.5 m/s^2

Initial velocity U = 0. Since the bus is starting from rest.

Final velocity V = 12 m/s

Use equation one of linear motion.

V = U + at

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12 = 0 + 1.5t

1.5t = 12

t = 12/1.5

t = 8 seconds

Therefore, the bus reach the same speed as the cyclist at 8 seconds.

B.) For the cyclist moving at constant speed, acceleration a = 0. Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Since a = 0, the equation is reduced to:

h = Ut.

Also, for the bus,

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Equate the two equations since the h is the same

Ut = Ut + 1/2at^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

12t = 0 + 1/2 × 1.5t^2

12t = 0.75t^2

0.75t = 12

t = 12/0.75

t = 16 seconds

Therefore, the bus takes 16 seconds to catch the cyclist

C.) Use third equation of linear motion.

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

Where s = distance

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12^2 = 0 + 2 × 1.5 S

144 = 3S

S = 144/3

S = 48 m

Explain at least three ways trees assist in keeping high water quality?
swat32
<span>Tree's are vital to the eco-system, they clean the air of co2 which is important for the air and water. Tree's also stop erosion and that is an important step in keeping our water clean. Tree's filter water up through the soil with their extensive root system, making for clean water.</span>
