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)

Answer:

v₀ = 13.9 10³ m / s

Explanation:

Let's analyze this exercise we can use the basic kinematics relationships to love the initial velocity and the acceleration we can look for from Newton's second law where force is gravitational attraction.

F = m a

G m M / x² = m dv / dt = m dv/dx dx/dt

G M / x² = dv/dx v

GM dx / x² = v dv

We integrate

v² / 2 = GM (-1 / x)

We evaluate between the lower limits where x = Re = 6.37 10⁶m and the velocity v = vo and the upper limit x = 2.50 10⁸m with a velocity of v = 8.50 10³ m/s

½ ((8.5 10³)² - v₀²) = GM (-1 /(2.50 10⁸) + 1 / (6.37 10⁶))

72.25 10⁶ - v₀² = 2 G M (+0.4 10⁻⁸ - 1.57 10⁻⁷)

72.25 10⁶ - v₀² = 2 6.63 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ (-15.3 10⁻⁸)

72.25 10⁶ - v₀² = -1.213 10⁸

v₀² = 72.25 10⁶ + 1,213 10⁸

v₀² = 193.6 10⁶

v₀ = 13.9 10³ m / s

When water waves meet, they can combine to form new waves. In constructive waves, a ________ amplitude wave is formed. In destru

Answer:

In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed. (option A)

Explanation:

Interference is called the superposition or sum of two or more waves. Depending mainly on the wavelengths, amplitudes and the relative distance between them, there are two types of interference: constructive or destructive.

Constructive interference occurs when there are two waves of identical or similar frequency (both have motions equal to an even number of similar wavelengths) and overlap the peak of one with the peak of the other. These effects add together and make a wave of greater amplitude. All of this is possible because the waves were in the same phase in the beginning (in the same position).

Destructive interference occurs in the opposite case to constructive. When the crest of one wave overlaps the valley of the other, they cancel out since they are in different phases when they overlap (they were in different positions). That is, as in the case of constructive waves they were added, in the case of destructive waves they cancel out (subtract).

So, In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed.
