Which statement is true for objects in dynamic equilibrium?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is objects have zero acceleration.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, first we have to understand dynamic equilibrium .

A body moving with uniform velocity is said to be in dynamic equilibrium if the net external forces acting on the body is zero. Hence, the body is under balanced forces.

If the external forces acting on a body is not balanced, then the body will accelerate which will destroy its equilibrium condition. Hence, the necessary and sufficient condition for a body to be in dynamic equilibrium is that the forces are balanced.

When a body is in dynamic equilibrium, the body moves with uniform velocity along a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces.

Hence, the rate of change of velocity or acceleration of the body will be zero.

The repeating pattern of a minerals particles in a solid is called
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Crystal structure

Explanation:

The repeated pattern of similar particles in a material is called crystal. Crystal structure is the largest constituent unit of a solid matter.

The fundamental identity of a crystal structure is a unit cell that is formed by the arrangement of atoms or ions in a particular manner. A crystal is defined as a regular, long-ranged repeated arrangement of unit cells.

Crystal have a sharp melting and boiling point and they give a sharp edge on being cut with a knife.

Imagine holding a basketball in both hands, throwing it straight up as high as you can, and then catching it when it falls. At w
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.

Explanation:

When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"

Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)

Since v = 0 at maximum height

F = m(0/t)

F = 0N

This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.
