Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.
Hope this help
Explanation :
A circuit is the representation of the path of the flow of current. The circuit can be either closed or open.
When the switch is off the circuit is closed circuit and when the switch is not connected the circuit is open.
The items that are sufficient to make a circuit are as follows :
- Voltage source like a battery.
- Resistors or electrical equipment like heater, motor etc.
Other components can be ammeter, voltmeter, ac source, variable resistors etc.
Answer:
the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.
Explanation:
Given;
radius of the circular track, r = 0.3 m
number of revolutions per second made by the car, ω = 2 rev/s
The angular velocity of the car in radian per second is calculated as;
From the given data, we convert the angular velocity in revolution per second to radian per second.
Therefore, the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.
