Answer:

Yes, a system can have a non-zero velocity.

Explanation:

When the net force is zero, applying Newton's second law, the net force is:

F = mass * acceleration

Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity over time. Since the net force is zero, it also means that the acceleration is zero, since the speed is not changing, but the speed is not equal to zero. If a body moves with a constant velocity other than zero, this body has a net force equal to zero.

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the Newton's second law of motion

F = m a

where, f be the force , m be the mass and a be the acceleration.

According to the question, F = 0

So, a = 0

a = v - u / t

So, v - u = 0

v = u

That means the velocity is constant.

If a body is moving with constant velocity, its acceleration is zero but velocity is non zero.

For example, a car is moving on a straight track with constant speed and in the same direction is the example in which velocity is non zero but acceleration is zero.

Which is an example of something heated by conduction

hodyreva [135]

An example would be a pot on a stove. The radiation from the source of the heat (the stove) would make the handle hot by conduction from heat through contact.

Another example could be a metal spoon in a hot cup of coffee. The coffee itself is hot, but since the spoon is in the coffee and making contact, part of the spoon will become hot from the radiation of the source of heat (the hot coffee). Thus, conduction.

Write the equation in slope-intercept form <br> x-2y=4

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form means we want the y to be by itself in the equation. Every thing we do will be about getting the y alone on the left side of the equation

To start we should move x to the left hand side. We can do this by subtracting x from both sides. That way, there is an x on the right, but not the left.

x-x-2y=4-x

this gives us

-2y=4-x

Great! So now what? Well, the y isn't by itself yet because it still is being multiplied by negative two (-2). In order to move it from the left side to the right side, we have to do the opposite of multiply; divide. So, we will divide both sides by -2

$\frac{-2y}{-2} =\frac{4}{-2} -\frac{x}{-2}$

-2 divided by -2 is 1, 4 divided by -2 is -2, and -x divided by -2 is $\frac{1}{2}x$

This gives us the answer: $y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

Tips:

A negative divided by a negative is a positive ex: -4 divided by -2 is positive 2

If you are subtracting by a negative number, you are actually adding by a positive ex: 2-(-2) is actually 2+2

Don't be afraid to have fractions in your equations

Whatever you do to the one side of the equation, you must do it to the other side as well. Multiply the left side by 2? You HAVE TO multiply the right side by two as well. Add 3 to the right side? You HAVE TO add 3 to the left.

For problems like this (and when you have access to the internet), where you need to rewrite an equation, double check your work on desmos, which is an online graphing calculator. Input both the original equation and the equation you rewrote, and if they don't create the same line, you did something wrong.
