According to general relativity, objects by the virtue of their mass have the ability to disrupt spacetime around them. This disruption in spacetime is actually what we call gravity.

So light always travels in a straight path in spacetime but because spacetime is now bent, the path appears to be curved in space

Momentum P is conserved because there are no external forces acting on the system.

P before = P after = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂  

m₁ = 1
m₂ = 5

before:
v₁ = 1
v₂ = 0

Pᵇ = 1·1 + 5 · 0

after:
v₁ = v₂

Pᵃ = Pᵇ

If the torque on an object adds up to zero Group of answer choices the object is at rest. the object cannot be turning. the obje
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

the body has linear acceleration, but cannot rotate

Explanation:

Let's analyze the system

If the torque is zero, the two forces are the same magnitude, but applied to each side of the body in such a way that the torque cancels the punch of the other. Therefore the body cannot turn

The two forces go in the same direction so the object can have linear acceleration

The object is at rest because it has a force in the same direction, but in the opposite direction.

therefore the correct answer is:

the body has linear acceleration, but cannot rotate

Nata [24]

Answer: friction has no role to play in this case. because friction usually occurs between to parts which come in contacts. examples (a)our joints in the human body (b)two mechanical parts (shafts).

Explanation:

However what this topic relates to is gravity. The pebble and paper both weigh one gram, but have different density this is the sole reason why if both are drop from same height the pebble would reach the ground faster than the paper because it is more denser. unlike the paper with a lesser density which would take a longer time to reach the ground.
