If only an external force can change the velocity of a body, how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest? 1. It

is the driver, not the car itself who causes the breaking, so it is an external force. 2. The engine is stopped, so the car has no force to run further. 3. Some internal forces can change the velocity of a body. 4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Answer:

4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Explanation:

If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.

You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.

The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.

Which property of light is a constant in a vacuum?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

La velocidad de la luz en el vacío es una constante universal con el valor de 299 792 458 m/s (186 282,397 mi/s),​​aunque suele aproximarse a 3·108 m/s. Se simboliza con la letra c, proveniente del latín celéritās (en español, celeridad o rapidez).

¿Cuál es la consecuencia que a velocidad de la luz sea constante?

Respuesta. En modificaciones del vacío más sutiles, como espacios curvos, efecto Casimir, poblaciones térmicas o presencia de campos externos, la velocidad de la luz depende de la densidad de energía de ese vacío.

Consider the model above. It represents the electrical force. As r increases, the attractive force decreases. How would this mod
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

As we keep on increasing the radius the value of the gravitation force of attraction decreases and as we decrease the radius the gravitation force increases.

Explanation:

Like the coulombs law of electrostatics, the law of gravitation also depends inversely on the square of the value of r. Therefore, as we keep on increasing the value of r the value of the gravitation force decreases and as we decrease the value of the r the value of gravitation force increases.

Gravitation Force=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2}}

Coulombs's Law= \frac{Kq_{1}q_{2} }{r^{2}}

How much work is done if 10 N is applied to a 5kg object for 10 meters if there is an opposing force of 5 N
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

50 J

Explanation:

The net force acting on the box is given by the algebraic sum of the two forces, so:

F=10 N -5 N = 5 N

The net work done on the box is equal to (assuming the net force is parallel to the displacement of the object)

W=Fd

where

F = 5 N is the net force on the object

d = 10 m is the displacement of the object

Substituting,

W=(5 N)(10 m)=50 J

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Therefore % increase in velocity is 18.23 %

Explanation:

we use the equality of mass flow rate and the areas

m_1 = m_2\\p_1v_1 = p_2v_2\\p_1A_1v_1 = p_2A_2v_2\\v_2 = \frac{p_1}{p_2} v_1

The percentage increase in velocity is

Δ v% = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{v_1} \\100%

= \frac{p_1}{p_2} v_1 - v_1.100%

= \frac{\frac{1.2}{1.015} - 1}{1} . 100%

= Therefore % increase in velocity is 18.23 %
