Answer:
An object at rest does not move and an object in motion does not change its velocity, unless an external force acts upon it
Explanation:
This statement is also known as Newton's first law, or law of inertia.
It states that the state of motion of an object can be changed only if there is an external force (different from zero) acting on it: therefore
- If an object is at rest, it will remain at rest if there is no force acting on it
- If an object is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity if there is no force acting on it
This phenomenon can be also understood by looking at Newton's second law:
F = ma
where
F is the net force on an object
m is the mass
a is the acceleration
If the net force is zero, F = 0, the acceleration of the object is also zero, a = 0: therefore, the velocity of the object does not change, and it will continue moving at the same velocity (which can be zero, if the object was at rest).
Answer:
2.28
Explanation:
From mirror formula,
1/f = 1/u+1/v .......... Equation 1
Where f = focal length of the mirror, v = image distance, u = object distance.
Note: The focal length mirror is positive.
make v the subject of the equation,
v = fu/(u-f)............ Equation 2
Given: f = 2.5 cm, u = 1.4 cm
Substitute into equation 2
v = 2.5(1.4)/(1.4-2.5)
v = 3.5/-1.1
v = -3.2 cm.
Note: v is negative because it is a virtual image.
But,
Magnification = image distance/object distance
M = v/u
Where M = magnification.
Given: v = 3.2 cm, u = 1.4 cm
M = 3.2/1.4
M = 2.28.
Thus the magnification of the tooth = 2.28.
Answer:
2.4 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
Velocity of the object moving north = 2.1 m/s
Velocity of the river moving eastward = 1.2 m/s
The resultant velocity is the vector sum of the velocities of object and river.
Since the directions of velocity of object and river are perpendicular to each other, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is obtained using Pythagoras Theorem.
The velocities are the legs of the right angled triangle and the resultant velocity is the hypotenuse.
The magnitude of the resultant velocity (R) is given as:
Therefore, the resultant velocity has a magnitude of 2.4 m/s.
Sound waves are a type of classical waves and so they transport only energy without transporting matter through the medium.
