Answer:

The force is Inertia

Explanation:

The force that acts on an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion is known as Inertia.

In physics the above statement is governed by Newton's first law of motion which is also known as Law of Inertia.

This law states that, an object that is at rest will remain at rest and an object that is moving will continue to move in a straight line with constant speed, if and only if the net force acting on the object is zero.

This implies that, A stationary object will remain motionless if no force acts on it while a object with constant velocity will continue moving with constant velocity until a force acts on it (neglecting resistance from air and friction).

Answer:

Inertia.

Explanation:

Inertia is the property of matter by which it remains at rest or in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external force or the resistance to change in velocity by an external force.

Inertia is the tendency for an object at rest to remain at rest, or for a moving object to remain in motion in a straight line with constant speed.

A feather is dropped onto the surface of the moon. How far will the feather have fallen if it reaches the surface in 9.00 second

Natali5045456 [20]

The feather's vertical position $y$ is determined by

$y=\dfrac12g_{\text{moon}}t^2$

We take the feather's starting position to be the origin, and the downward direction to be positive. Then

$y=\dfrac12\left(1.63\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(9.00\,\mathrm s\right)^2=66.0\,\mathrm m$

so the answer is D.

A slit of width 2.0 μm is used in a single slit experiment with light of wavelength 650 nm. If the intensity at the central maxi

Valentin [98]

Answer:

The intensity at 10° from the center is 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

Explanation:

The intensity of light I = I₀(sinα/α)² where α = πasinθ/λ

I₀ = maximum intensity of light

a = slit width = 2.0 μm = 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m

θ = angle at intensity point = 10°

λ = wavelength of light = 650 nm = 650 × 10⁻⁹ m

α = πasinθ/λ

= π(2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m)sin10°/650 × 10⁻⁹ m

= 1.0911/650 × 10³

= 0.001679 × 10³

= 1.679

Now, the intensity I is

I = I₀(sinα/α)²

= I₀(sin1.679/1.679)²

= I₀(0.0293/1.679)²

= 0.0175²I₀

= 0.0003063I₀

= 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

So, the intensity at 10° from the center is 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

One event occurs at the origin at t equal to zero, and a second events occurs at the point x=5m along the x-axis at time with ct

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The separation will be spacelike.

The first event can't cause the second event, as there exist an frame of reference in which both happens at the same time, in different positions, so, if there were causally connected, it will imply an instant connection, this is faster than light.

Explanation:

We can define the separation between two events (using the + - - - signature) as :

$(\Delta s )^2 = (ct_2 - c t_1 )^2 - (x_2 - x_1)^2$

where the separation will be lightlike if is equal to zero, timelike if is positive and spacelike if is negative.

For our problem

$c t_1 = 0$

$x_1 = 0$

$ct_2 = 4 \ m$

$x_2 = 5 \ m$

$(\Delta s )^2 = (4 \ m - 0 )^2 - ( 5 \ m - 0)^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = (4 \ m )^2 - ( 5 \ m 0)^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = 16 \ m^ 2 - 25 \ m^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = - 9\ m^2$

So the separation will be spacelike, and the first event can't cause the second event, as there exist an frame of reference in which both happens at the same time, in different positions, so, if there were causally connected, it will imply an instant connection, this is faster than light.
