Answer:

<em>The engine must provide power to compensate friction</em>

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion </u>

Newton's first law states that a body will keep its speed or state of rest while no external net force is applied. Our automobile is running through a road which surface exerts a frictional force on the wheels. If we didn't use fuel, the automobile will eventually stop, because the unbalanced friction force causes deceleration. To compensate that force, we must provide power to the engine. When our speedometer shows a constant speed, the net force is zero, but the car needs to accelerate some, just to compensate the friction force.

The total acceleration keeps being zero, but the engine is actually doing work against friction.

If there is a huge boulder on your lawn and you want to determine its density, but it is
Olin [163]

There are different options here but all of them work by approximating and assuming.

i) that the boulder is above ground.

ii) that the bottom surface of the boulder is known.

iii) the shape of the boulder is taken into account.

The most accurate way is measuring it by displacement method but the boulder is immovable hence the volume can be calculated by measuring the boulder or a waterproof box to be built around the boulder and calculate the volume occupied by boulder.

All the above methods are estimating methods.

*Another way to find the density is through specific gravity.

S.G = <u>Density</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>object</u>

Density of water

If the material that makes the boulder is known that is if it's stone or a mineral then the specific gravity can be found.

If the boulder is purely rock then S.G lies between 3 - 3.5 and the density of water is known thus the density of the boulder can be found without moving the boulder.

This is what I think after correction and allthe best!

How do magnetic forces repel or attract?
Lerok [7]

“Magnets are surrounded by an invisible magnetic field that is made by the movement of electrons, the subatomic particles that circle the nucleus of an atom”



“Every magnet has both a north and a south pole. When you place the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (north to north or south to south), they will repel each other.”

The special theory of relativity deals with space and time under what special condition?
sergij07 [2.7K]
<h2>Answer: Invariance of the speed of light in vacuum  </h2>

Special relativity was proposed on 1905 by Einstein, who developed his theory based on the following two postulates:  

<em>1. The laws of physics are the same in all inertial systems. There is no preferential system.  </em>

<em>2. The speed of light in vacuum has the same value for all inertial systems.  </em>

<em></em>

Focusing on the first postulate, it can be affirmed that any measurement on a body is made with reference to the system in which it is being measured.

 

In addition, it deals with the <u>dilation of time</u> stating that <u>time passes at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential</u>. That is, the greater the local distortion of space-time due to gravity, the slower the time passes.  

On the other hand, following what relativity establishes, bodies within a gravitational field follow a curved space path.
