Answer:

Yes, a force is require to set an object in motion.

Explanation:

In space, even if you feel weightless, you are subject to motion. If you are orbiting the Earth, you are under the constant influence of Earth having a free-fall acceleration equal to the centripetal acceleration.
To disturb this orbital motion, an external force is required.
According to Newton's laws of motion, a force is required to change the state of the rest of a body or to change the velocity or direction if it is moving with uniform velocity along a straight line.
Whenever there is a change in velocity or direction of a body there is a force acting on it.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

3.82 Ns

Explanation:

Time varying horizontal Force is given as

F(t) = A t⁴ + B t²

F(t) = 4.50 t⁴ + 8.75 t²

Impulse imparted is given as

$I = \int_{0}^{t}Fdt$

$I = \int_{0}^{1}Fdt$

$I = \int_{0}^{1}(4.50 t^{4} + 8.75 t^{2})dt$

$I = ((0.9) (1)^{5} + (2.92) (1)^{3})$

$I = 3.82 N-s$

A 75 kg ball carrier is running to the right at 6.5 m/s. An 80 kg defender is chasing the ball carrier running at 7.0 m/s. The d

Sophie [7]

Answer:

3,544.375Joules

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion, It is expressed as;

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity

For the ball carrier;

KE = 1/2(75)(6.5)²

KE = 3168.75/2

KE = 1584.375Joules

For the defender;

KE = 1/2(80)(7)²

KE = 3920/2

KE = 1960Joules

The kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle = KE for the carrier + KE for the defender

kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle= 1584.375+1960 = 3,544.375Joules

The current estimate for the age of earth of 4.57 ga comes from _____.

Whitepunk [10]

The estimation of the age of the Earth comes from scientists who studied the rock formation under the Earth's crust. They believe that during the Big Bang, the Earth, together with the other celestial bodies in the universe, were formed. Under the Earth's soil contain radioactive materials that have known decay rates. Using these rate, they undergo tests like rock dating to find the time of its existence.
