Answer:

If there are no forces acting upon the object, then there is no acceleration. If there is no acceleration, then the object will move with a constant velocity.

If an object is not accelerating, then zero net forces act on the object.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As per Newton's second laws of motion, an object exhibiting acceleration is directly proportionate to the net forces act on the objects and inversely proportionate to the object's mass.

But object's mass cannot be zero, so if the acceleration is zero for an object, the total forces act on that object will be zero. And for zero net force to occur, two equal but opposite forces are enough to nullify the net force. Thus if an object does not accelerate, then zero net force acts on the object.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 74 N/m

Mass of electron $m= 9.11\times10^{-31}\ kg$

Speed of light $c= 3\times10^{8}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

$f =\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

Where, k= spring constant

m = mass of the particle

Put the value into the formula

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{74}{9.11\times10^{-31}}}$

$f=1.434\times10^{15}\ Hz$

We need to calculate the longest wavelength that the electron can absorb

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}$

Where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda =\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.434\times10^{15}}$

$\lambda=2.092\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=209\ nm$

Hence, The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

Anyone know what solution this is?

Pavel [41]

Answer:a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation.

Explanation:Some examples of solutions are salt water, rubbing alcohol, and sugar dissolved in water. When you look closely, upon mixing salt with water, you can't see the salt particles anymore, making this a homogeneous mixture. Let's make use of our salt water example to talk about the two main parts of a solution.
