Answer:

There is no experiment to prove that you are in motion

Explanation:

A frame of reference which has constant velocity is known as an inertial frame of reference. Motion is relative. One can detect one's motion only when one observes change in position with respect to a fixed body.

Thus, if you are in a spaceship moving at a constant speed in a straight line and unable to look outside, you would not be able to prove that you are moving. Everything within the spaceship would have same speed. If you will throw any object within the spaceship, then the parameters measured by you would also not show that the spaceship is in motion.

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. how much time does it ta
Yuri [45]

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. The time taken by the car will be 4 seconds. the correct answer is option(c).

When acceleration is constant, the rate of change in velocity is also constant. In the absence of any acceleration, velocity remains constant. When acceleration is positive, velocity becomes more significant.

Let a denote acceleration, u denote initial velocity, v denote final velocity, and t denote time.

The equation of motion is stated as,

v = u + at

v² = u² + 2as

A car travels across a distance of 60.0 m while accelerating constantly from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s.

Then the time taken by the car will be,

u = 12 m/s

v = 18 m/s

s = 60 m

Put these in the equation v² = u² + 2as.

18² = 12² + 2 x a x 60

a = 1.5

Then the time will be

18 = 12 + 1.5t

1.5t = 6

t = 4 seconds

Hence, the time taken is 4 s.

The complete question is:

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. How much time does it take?

1.00 s

2.50 s

4.00 s

4.50 s

A mass attached to a spring is displaced from its equilibrium position by 5cm and released. The system then oscillates in simple
aliina [53]

Answer:

T= 1 s

Explanation:

Given that

When x=  cm ,T= 1

we know that time period of spring mas system given as

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

T= Time period

m= mass

k=spring constant

So from above equation we can say that time period of system does not depends on the value of x.

So when x= 10 cm ,still time period will be 1 s.

T= 1 s

A 10.0-kg mass is placed on a 25.0o incline and friction keeps it from sliding. The coefficient of static friction in this case
vovangra [49]

The frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

Opposition forces on the surface cause heat loss during the motion of an object known as the friction force.

Given data:

m(mass)= 10.0-kg

Θ (Inclination angle)=25.0o

Coefficient of sliding friction,\rm \mu_k=0.520

Coefficient of static friction,\rm  \mu_s=0.520

The friction force, F=?

Resolve the force in the inclined plane;

\rm F=\mu_s mg cos25^0 \\\\ F=0.520 \times 10 \times 9.81 \times  cos 25 ^0 \\\\ F= 46.2 \ N

Hence, the frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.
