Newton’s first law of motion was a giant leap forward in scientific thought during Newton’s time. Even today, the idea is someti

mes difficult at first for people to understand.
Which statement is the best example of an object and motion that would make it hard for people to believe Newton’s first law?
a. A rolling ball eventually slows down and comes to a stop.
b. A wagon must be pushed before it begins to move.
c. The heavier the load in a cart, the harder the cart is to turn.
d. A box does not move when pushed equally from opposite sides.

Answer: B

Explanation:

Newton's first law it's law of inertia.

An object at rest will remain at rest (or an object in motion in a straight line at a constant velocity will remain that way) unless it is acted by an unbalanced force.

In A for the ball to slow down and stop, an external force (like friction with air or the floor) needs to be taken in consideration.

In B we can see how we need to make a force on the wagon to make it move.

In C we have an other Newton 's law, force equals mass times acceleration (2nd law)

In D we can see how it does not move because the forces on the box are balanced.

The noise floor, also known as additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), is a continuous noise level that appears over a wide spectr
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

correct option is a. True

Explanation:

solution

the noise floor is AWGN ( additive white Gaussian noise )  

and when viewed in the frequency domain, it is the continuous noise level  

because as they have a  uniform power over all the frequency.

 

so that it is additive white Gaussian noise  

as we can say given statement is True  

correct option a true

The nose of an ultralight plane is pointed south, and its airspeed indicator shows 28 m/s . the plane is in a 18 m/s wind blowin
leva [86]
<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
 So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
  air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
 v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
 solving
  v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
 if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
  speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
 speed= 42.63 m/s
 if angle is asked
  angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
 angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>
