Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.

Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?

Rzqust [24]

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)

3. A model rocket takes 0.05 seconds to speed up from rest to its maximum velocity of 80 m/s.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

$1600 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time it took to produce such change. The formula then reads:

$a = \frac{change-in-velocity}{time} = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}$

Where Vf is the final velocity of the object, (in our case 80 m/s)

Vi is the initial velocity of the object (in our case 0 m/s because the object was at rest)

and t is the time it took to change from the Vi to the Vf (in our case 0.05 seconds.

Therefore we have:

$a = \frac{80 m/s - 0 m/s}{0.05 sec} = 1600 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Notice that the units of acceleration in the SI system are $\frac{m}{s^2}$ (meters divided square seconds)

Ivan

Answer:

The statement is true: velocity and acceleration have opposite directions in the interval of braking.

Explanation:

Let's say we have a velocity $v>0$ .

The acceleration $a$ is the rate of change of the velocity $v$ . This means that if $v$ is <em>increasing during</em> time, then $a$ must be positive. But if $v$ is <em>decreasing over</em> time, then $a$ will be negative (even though the velocity is positive).

Mathematically:

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}$

$v$ decreases ⇒ $\frac{dv}{dt}$

⇒ $a$ .

Example:

$v(t)=e^{-t}>0 \\\\\frac{dv}{dt}=-te^{-t}$
