Answer:

The object will continue to move in straight line at 50 mi/hr except it is acted upon by an external force

Explanation:

Newton First Law of motion: A body will continue in its present state of  rest or, if it is in motion will continue to move with uniform speed in a straight line unless it is acted upon by a force. Newton first law of motion is also called the law of inertia.

Inertia: This is the tendency of a body to remain in its states of rest or uniform motion.

From the question, The object moving in a straight line at 50 mi/hr will continue to move in a straight line at 50 mi/hr, except it is acted upon by external force that will change the speed of the object.

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:

An electron is released form rest in a region of space where a uniform electric field is present. Joanna claims that its kinetic
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.

Alec says the force of gravity is stronger on a piece of paper after it’s crumpled. His classmate, Jordan, disagrees. Alec “prov
Anika [276]
No, gravity acts equally on all objects.  The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size.  A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly.  In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.
