When finding net force, why must you know the directions of the forces acting on an object?

Physics

Mariulka [41]3 years ago

<h3>One reason we should know what the directions of the forces acting on an object is so we can know if we have to add or subtract. same = add together, opposite = subtract from each other. Also if we don't pay attention to the direction the Net force will be wont be accurate. There will be factors that will upset the calculation.So we must know the direction of the two forces because we have to know if we are adding or subtracting and if the answer is accurate. </h3>

<em>I hope this helps!.</em>

What do we call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance
const2013 [10]

<u>We call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance as  phase change or change of state.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To change a substance from one state to another, extreme temperatures or pressures are required. Sometimes when a substance doesn't change states we should use all the ideas when that happens. To create a solid, we should decrease the temperature by a huge amount and then add pressure. For example, oxygen will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure. However, it will freeze at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

Phase changes happen when a substance reach some special points. Sometimes when a liquid becomes a solid a freezing point or melting point is used to measure the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. Some of the phase changes are: Condensation, Freezing, Melting.

The energy of a wave will remain constant if which of the following changes are made to it?AThe wavelength is cut in half, and t
Makovka662 [10]

The energy of a wave will remain constant if which of the following changes are made to it is given below

Explanation:

1.In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.

2.First of all for light which is a electromagnetic wave c=frequency*wavelength. As the wavelength increases the frequency decreases. This can be physically understood as the increase in red shift of the light. Also energy =h*frequency,hence increasing wavelength decreases the energy carried by the photon.

3.Wave frequency is related to wave energy. the more energy in a wave, the higher its frequency. The lower the frequency is, the less energy in the wave.
