Answer:

With science, even if they have the same mass doesn't mean it will have the same weight.

Explanation:

Sometimes gravity does different things like sinks objects that are the same mass as others. I took Bio last year and learned that not everything with the same mass has the same balance.

An object is pulled to the left by a force of 50 N. The same amount of force pulls it to the right. The object will ____.

11111nata11111 [884]

<h2>Required Answer:</h2>

The body will stay at rest (Option D). It is because a force of magnitude 50 N is pulled towards left and another force is pulling it towards right with same magnitude 50 N. So, the direction of force is opposite and magnitude is same i.e. 50 N. So, they will cancel each other and net force is 0. Hence, there would be no acceleration.

Option A - Showing acceleration
Option B - Showing acceleration
Option C - Change of direction due to Net force

Hence, these options are incorrect because they are only possible when net external force is non-zero. Staying at rest i.e. Option D means there is no motion and hence no acceleration, this shows that net force is 0 $.$

If an object is rolling without slipping, how does its linear speed compare to its rotational speed?

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

v = rw

Explanation:

When an object is rolling continuously without slipping, then every angle it rotates through, is equal to a distance the perimeter has rotated.

If the object completes 10 revolutions and takes a particular time, let's say t to complete it. The angular distance would then be 20 π rad, while its angular velocity will be 20 π/t

The circumference will somehow translate to the distance it covers, which is 20πr, this means that the speed is 20πr/t

So, like the question asked, the linear speed compared to angular speed is

v : w

20πr/t : 20πt, which can be simplified to

r : 1

In essence, v = rw

Canadian Olivia Oliver broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest spin on ice skates on January 2015 with an angular veloci

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) 2.63 : 1

b) 143.13 rpm

Explanation:

initial angular velocity ω' = 130 rpm

final angular velocity ω = 342 rpm

recall that angular momentum = ωI

where I is the moment of inertia.

for the initial spinning condition, we take moment of inertial = I'

for final spinning condition, we take moment of inertia = I

initial angular momentum = ω'I' = 130 I'

final angular momentum = ωI = 342 I

according to conservation of angular momentum, initial angular momentum must be equal to the final angular momentum, therefore

342 I = 130 I'

ratio of initial moment of inertia to final moment of inertia = I'/I

==> I'/I = 342/130 ≅ 2.63 : 1

b) to achieve a final angular velocity of of 375 rpm, her initial velocity will have to be

2.63 = 375/ω'

ω' = 375/2.63 = 143.13 rpm

Matthew drives 10 meters to go to the park at her the park he goes to the movie theatre which is 15 meters away from the park. H

Step2247 [10]

Answer: 0 m

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this movement, the body will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:

The trajectory is the path followed by the body (is a scalar quantity).

The displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position (is a vector quantity).

According to this, in the description Matthew's home is placed at 0 on a number line, then he moves 10 m to the park (this is the distance between the park and Mattew's home), then 15 m to the movie theatre until he finally comes back to his home (position 0). So, in this case we are talking about the path followed by Matthew, hence his trajectory.

However, if we talk about Matthew's displacement, we have to draw a straight line between Matthew's initial position (point 0) to his final position (also point 0).

Now, being this an unidimensional problem, the displacement vector for Matthew is 0 meters.

a charged particle traveling follows a straight path through crossed electric and magnetic fields if the strength of the magneti

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a charged particle is moving in a straight line, means undeflected in a crossed magnetic and electric field, it means the net force on the charged particle is zero.

magnetic force is balanced by the electric force

q v B = q E

Where, q be the charge on the particle, v be the velocity, B be the strength of magnetic field, e be the strength of electric field.

So, B = E / v
