Answer:

Only 3 is true: The truck exerts the same amount of force on the car as the car exerts on the truck.

Explanation:

Compare the forces if the light truck is standing still when the car hits it.

1. The car exerts a greater amount of force on the truck than the truck exerts on the car. FALSE. This violates Newton 3rd Law of Action-Reaction.

2. The truck exerts a greater amount of force on the car than the car exerts on the truck. FALSE. This violates Newton 3rd Law of Action-Reaction.

3. The truck exerts the same amount of force on the car as the car exerts on the truck. TRUE. This is Newton 3rd Law of Action-Reaction. When there is a contact between objects, both exert on the other an equal and opposite force.

4. None of the answers correctly describes the situation. FALSE. 4 is true.

5. Neither exerts a force on the other. FALSE. If the car hits it then forces must come into play.

true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.
nalin [4]
Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.

Which statements describe a situation with a displacement of zero? Check all that apply.traveling south for 30 miles, then turni
cluponka [151]

Answer:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack

Explanation:

Displacement simply means the.change in position of an object. In a situation whereby the initial and final position are thesame, the displacement will be zero.

The statements that describe a situation with a displacement of zero include:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack

Ohm's law states which relationship between electrical quantities? a. Volts = current x resistance b. Volts = current divided by
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

a. Volts = current x resistance

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

V = IR

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Hence, Ohm's law gives the relationship between voltage, current and resistance of an electric circuit.

Explain the differences between a physical and chemical change, and give examples of each.
mrs_skeptik [129]
Chemical change:  a reaction/event where the chemicals/elements present before the change are NOT the same molecules present after the change.
For example, combustion reactions such as the burning of wood or rubbing alcohol are examples of chemical change. The reactants before the combustion of rubbing alcohol are CH3O (rubbing alcohol) and O2 oxygen (oxygen). The molecules present after the combustion reaction are CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water vapor).

Physical Change: a change in structure or state of a substance but, after the change the material is the same material that we started with. One example would be breaking a glass bottle by dropping it. The glass is now in smaller pieces than when we started, but the glass molecules are still glass molecules.
