Physics

GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

<span>Slowing an object down is not a means of accelerating it. It actually decelerates the motion of an object. Speeding it up, changing its direction and applying balanced forces accelerate an object. In order for an object to accelerate, a force must be applied. It follows Newton’s second law of motion where it states that a body at rest remains at rest unless a force is acted upon it. When you move an object, you are exerting a force onto it. By exerting a force on the object, you are actually displacing it from its initial position. You cannot apply force to the object without altering its position. Keep in mind that when you exert work, you are exerting energy too. </span>

Which type of force can be in the same it opposite direction?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

C) unbalanced

Explanation:

Equal forces acting in opposite directions are called balanced forces. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion. When you add equal forces in opposite direction, the net force is zero.

How Are Babies In The Womb For 9Months But Aren't 9Months When They Are Born
zheka24 [161]
<span>You could easily define it this way. This would be valid. But for most of history it was unclear when a baby was conceived, so it would be silly for someone to say their baby was 9 months old when it was actually born at only 8.5 months. Days of conception similarly would not be a good substitute for birthdays because no one would know them. Then in general it was much easier to mark someone's age as when they came into the world as an independent being, and this tradition is far too entrenched (and simple and easy to handle and universal for people in poor countries etc) to think we would at all gain from now finding exactly the date of conception and counting age from that point.</span>
