Pushing a broke down car, even done by more than one person, is difficult especially if the distance to be covered is quite far. A car is heavy and it requires a lot of force to start the car moving. This is because the inertia of the car to remain at rest is great. Additionally, the force applied in pushing the car must be greater than the frictional force to cause it to accelerate. The frictional force is dependent on the mass of the object which means that the frictional force acting on the car is also great. Finally, with every push of the car, the frictional force will always be present and acting on the opposite direction. The push that will be supplied must be sustained all throughout.

The friends have to combine their forces to be greater than the force of the car pushing back on them (3rd law). The car will remain at rest until an outside force acts on it that it is greater than its own (1st). The speed in which the car is being moved is directly related to the amount of force and direction of the kids pushing the car (2nd).

A power transmission line is hung from metal towers with glass insulators having a resistance of 1.00×109 Ω . What current flows
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The current flows through the insulator is 2 mA.

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance R=1.00\times10^{9}\ \Omega

Voltage = 200 kV

We need to calculate the current

Using ohm's law

V=IR

I=\dfrac{V}{R}

Where, I = current

V = voltage

R = resistance

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{200\times10^{3}}{1.00\times10^{9}}

I=0.0002\ A

I=2\ mA

Hence, The current flows through the insulator is 2 mA.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This image is the example of Newton's first law of motion because:

As per Newton's first law, football will remain in the state of rest until a player applies an external force by kicking the ball.

And the ball will keep on moving until unless the net of a goal post exerts the external force to stop the ball.

Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're
musickatia [10]
<span>The answer is letter C.

Reflecting telescopes are more powerful than refracting telescopes. These are also called as reflectors which serves an optical telescope that uses a single or combination of curved mirrors. These mirrors then reflect light and form an image. It is designed for very large diameter objects and are mostly considered as major telescopes in the field of astronomy. They were used as an alternative for refracting telescopes during the 17th century because they suffer less chromatic aberrations than a refracting telescope does. <span>
