Answer:
An object at rest does not move and an object in motion does not change its velocity, unless an external force acts upon it
Explanation:
This statement is also known as Newton's first law, or law of inertia.
It states that the state of motion of an object can be changed only if there is an external force (different from zero) acting on it: therefore
- If an object is at rest, it will remain at rest if there is no force acting on it
- If an object is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity if there is no force acting on it
This phenomenon can be also understood by looking at Newton's second law:
F = ma
where
F is the net force on an object
m is the mass
a is the acceleration
If the net force is zero, F = 0, the acceleration of the object is also zero, a = 0: therefore, the velocity of the object does not change, and it will continue moving at the same velocity (which can be zero, if the object was at rest).
66° N and 90° N
the area of the artic circle in the northern hemisphere
Answer:
x = 50 N
Explanation:
Given that we have a net force, a mass, and acceleration, we can use the fundamental formula for force found in newton's second law which is F = m × a.
Given a mass of 150 kg, and an acceleration 3.0m/s². We can substitute these two values in our formula to calculate the magnitude of these forces or it's net force to identify the unknown force acting on our known force for this situation to work.
_______
F (Net force) = F2 (Second force which we are given) - F1 (First force) = m × a
m (mass which we are given) = 150 kg
a (acceleration which we are given) = 3.0m/s
________
So F = m × a → F2 - F1 = m × a →
500 - F1 = 150 × 3.0 → 500 - F1 = 450 →
-F1 = -50 → F1 = 50
Answer:
B. The escape speed of the Moon is less than that of the Earth; therefore, less energy is required to leave the Moon.
Explanation:
Since the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Moon is less than the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Earth, less energy is required to travel from the Moon to the Earth, than is required to travel from the Earth to the Moon. This is because the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.
Answer: A and B
Explanation:
A
The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.
Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.
B)
Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.
Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position
