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).

When a person plucks a guitar string, the number of half wavelengths that fit into the length of the string determines the _____
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Each half wavelength has a point of largest amplitude (aka a node). Depending on the wavelength each node oscillates at a certain rate of swings per unit of time. The latter is referred to as frequency and measure in Hertz [Hz].

The average speed of a nitrogen molecule in air is about 6.70×102 m/s, and its mass is 4.68×10-26 kg.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

a)   a = 3.06 10¹⁵ m / s , b)    F= 1.43  10⁻¹⁰ N, c)    F_total = 14.32 10⁻²⁶ N

Explanation:

This exercise will average solve using the moment relationship.

a ) let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

          I = ∫ F dt = Δp

          F t = m v_{f} - m v₀

          F = m (v_{f} -v₀o) / t

 in the exercise indicates that the speed module is the same, but in the opposite direction

          F = m (-2v) / t

if we use Newton's second law

          F = m a

we substitute

            - 2 mv / t = m a

            a = - 2 v / t

let's calculate

            a = - 2 4.59 10²/3 10⁻¹³

            a = 3.06 10¹⁵ m / s

b)      F= m a

        F= 4.68 10⁻²⁶ 3.06 10¹⁵

        F= 1.43  10⁻¹⁰ N

c) if we hit the wall for 1015 each exerts a force F

            F_total = n F

            F_total = n m a

            F_total = 10¹⁵  4.68 10⁻²⁶ 3.06 10¹⁵

            F_total = 14.32 10⁻²⁶ N
