An object is moving in the absence of a net force. Which of the following best describes the object's motion? -please help?

You can solve this by using Newton's First Law or Newton's Second Law.

1) Newton's First Law or Inertia Law states that in the abscense of a net force acting over an object, this will not chage its state of movement, i.e it will remain at rest (if it is no moving) or with uniform movement (if the object is moving).

2) Newton's Second Law: Net force = mass * acceleration => acceleration = net force / mass = 0 / mass = 0.

Zero accelerations means rest or uniform movement.

First Law is implicit in Second Law.

There are two cases in which no net force is being applied on an object:
1) The object is stationary
2) The object is not accelerating; that is, the magnitude or direction of its velocity is not changing.
Because this question requires the object to be in motion, the velocity of this object must be constant but non-zero.
Therefore, the correct option would be the one where the velocity is constant and in a straight line. (circular motion means the velocity's direction is constantly changing, thus the velocity is not constant)

A marble rolls with a speed of 15 m/s and has a momentum of 0.15 kg*m/s. What is its mass?<br>

prisoha [69]

Answer:

m = 0.01 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Momentum of the marble, p = 0.15 kg-m/s

Speed of the marble, v = 15 m/s

We need to find its mass. We know that,

Momentum, p = mv

Where

m is the mass

$m=\dfrac{p}{v}\\\\m=\dfrac{0.15}{15}\\\\m=0.01\ kg$

So, the mass of the marble is equal to 0.01 kg.

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.39 m and a spring constant of 350 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A) The possible algebraic signs will either be both positive (+) or both negative (-) charged since the 2 objects are repelling each other to stretch the string.

B) Magnitude of charges = 1.206 × 10^(-6) C

Explanation:

We are given;

Spring constant;k = 350 N/m

Spring length;L = 0.39 m

Stretched length of spring;x = 0.022 m

A) The spring stretches by 0.022m. Therefore, the total force is (350 × 0.022) N = 7.7N. The charged objects will either be both positive (+) or both negative (-) charged since they are repelling each other to stretch the string.

B) Force (F) required to stretch spring is given by the formula;

F = kx

Thus:

F = (350 × 0.022)

F = 7.7 N

Now, if we assume point charges, then the distance (r) between them will be given as:

r = (0.39 + 0.022) = 0.412 m

Coulomb's Law has a formula:

F = k(q1×q2)/r²

where k is coulomb's constant = 8.99 × 10^(9) Nm²/C²

Making q1 × q2 the subject, we have;

(q1 × q2) = Fr²/k = 7.7 × 0.412²/(8.99 × 10^(9))

(q1 × q2) = 14.54 × 10^(-11) C

We are told that both charges are equal, thus; |q1| = |q2|

So;

q = √(14.54 × 10^(-11)) = 1.206 × 10^(-6) C

Which style of painting is the Peale family known for?

Misha Larkins [42]

The correct answer is option B, representational

All the painters in Peale family were involved in paintings which represent the day today life activities or were portraits or mimic some natural forms.

Charles Willson Peale , the head of the Peale family was known for painting sixty portraits of the first American president, George Washington. He also painted portraits of portraits of notable people of the society such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson etc.

Most of the paintings of peale family were based on the theme of family, art and science. Six of Peale’s son were known for their renaissance paintings. His oldest son Raphelle was known for still life paintings.

Titian Ramsay Peale, Charles’ youngest son was a naturalist painter.

Dos cargas Q1=2pc y Q2=4pc estan separadas por una distancia de 6cm ¿con que fuerza se atraen?

noname [10]

Here we can use coulomb's law to find the force between two charges

As per coulombs law

]tex]F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

here we have

$k = 9 * 10^9$

$q_1 = 2pC$

$q_2 = 4pC$

$r = 6cm = 0.06 m$

now by using the above equation we have

$F = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-12} * 4*10^{-12}}{0.06^2}$

$F = 2 * 10^{-11} N$

so here the force between two charges is of above magnitude and this will be repulsive force between them as both charges are of same sign.

Is the earth's gravitational force on the sun larger than, smaller than, or equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth?

Leona [35]

Answer:

The earth's gravitational force on the sun is equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In other words, when two objects exert a force on each other, then the magnitude of the two forces is the same (while the directions are opposite).

In this problem, we can call the Sun as "object A" and the Earth as "object B". According to Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun is equal (in magnitude, and opposite in direction) to the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.
