Newton's First Law

* Newton's First Law of Motion states that a body will remain at rest or will continue to move at a constant velocity, unless an external force is applied.

* This means that in order for the acceleration of a body to change, there must be a net force applied to the body. Put another way, if the forces on an object balance, there will be no acceleration (the object will continue at the same speed).So, if we are told that a body is not accelerating (i.e. if it is moving at a constant velocity), we know that the resultant (overall) force in any one direction will be zero.

* Its an unbalanced force,

8N acting towards the left, and 20N acting towards the right.

F = F2 - F1

= 20N - 8N

= 12N

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 12N/5kg

a = 2.4 m/s^2

Therefore, the accelaration of the object is 2.4 m/s^2

3.Three resistors of 25.0Ω, 30.0Ω, and 40.0Ω are in a series circuit with a 6.0-volt battery. What is the current in the circuit

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Current = 0.063 Amperes

Explanation:

Let the three resistors be R1, R2, and R3 respectively.

Given the following data;

R1 = 25.0Ω,

R2 = 30.0Ω

R3 = 40.0Ω

Voltage = 6 Volts

First of all, we would determine the equivalent or total resistance;

Total resistance (in series) = R1 + R2 + R3

Total resistance = 25.0Ω + 30.0Ω + 40.0Ω

Total resistance = 95 Ω

Next, we find the current flowing through the circuit;

Voltage = current * resistance

Substituting into the formula, we have;

6 = current * 95

Current = 6/95

Current = 0.063 Amperes

Define each of these dimensions of development: physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and moral. (8 points)

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Physical development refers to the growth, physical and biological changes that happens in the humans body between birth and till they get to adolescence stage. There is development in brain, senses, they way they talk, physical appearance e.r.c.

Examples of these include, as humans grow, there is an increase in the way they interact with other people.

Babies tend to interact and learn new words even as their sense organs are been developed.

Cognitive development refers to how children develop in knowledge, skills, they way they think, their disposition and problem solving ability. These help children to think and understand their environment better.

Psychosocial development entails psychological and social development and it refers to how human personality is developed, acquiring social attitudes and skills from young age to adult. It entails how humans interact with their environment.

Moral development entails changes that occur in humans from childhood to adulthood by possesing the the skills and ability to know what is right and what is wrong i.e an understanding of morals behavior.

Two rigid rods are oriented parallel to each other and to the ground. The rods carry the same current in the same direction. The

Greeley [361]

Answer:

I = 215.76 A

Explanation:

The direction of magnetic field produced by conductor 1 on the location of conductor 2 is towards left. Based on Right Hand Rule -1 and taking figure 21.3 as reference, the direction of force Fm due to magnetic field produced at C_2 is shown above. The force Fm balances the weight of conductor 2.

Fm = u_o*I^2*L/2*π*d

where I is the current in each rod, d = 0.0082 m is the distance 27rId

between each, L = 0.85 m is the length of each rod.

Fm = 4π*10^-7*I^2*1.1/2*π*0.0083

The mass of each rod is m = 0.0276 kg

F_m = mg

4π*10^-7*I^2*1.1/2*π*0.0083=0.0276*9.8

I = 215.76 A

note:

mathematical calculation maybe wrong or having little bit error but the method is perfectly fine
