According to Newton's first law of motion, what would happen to a car traveling at a constant velocity of 55 MPH to the west in

the absence of an unbalanced force?

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion says that an object will be at rest or it will be in motion until an unbalanced force acts on it.
In this case, a car traveling at a constant velocity of 55 mph to the west in the absence of an unbalanced force.

It would mean that the car will continue to move with a constant velocity of 55 mph to the west due to Newton's first law of motion.

Acceleration occurs when velocities change.velocity changes either because the speed changes or the direction change.

The total displacement of the toy car at the given positions is 0.

The given parameters;

<em>First displacement of the car, = 5 cm left</em>
<em>Second displacement of the car, = 8 cm right</em>
<em>Third displacement of the car, = 3 cm to the left</em>

The total displacement of the car is calculated as follows;

<em>Let the </em><em>left </em><em>direction be "</em><em>negative </em><em>direction"</em>
<em>Let the </em><em>right </em><em>direction be "</em><em>positive </em><em>direction"</em>

$\Delta x = - \ 5\ cm \ + \ 8 \ cm \ - \ 3 \ cm \\\\\Delta x = 0$

Thus, the total displacement of the toy car at the given positions is 0.

A student gives a 5.0 kg box a brief push causing the box to move with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s along a rough surface. The bo

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The time taken to stop the box equals 1.33 seconds.

Explanation:

Since frictional force always acts opposite to the motion of the box we can find the acceleration that the force produces using newton's second law of motion as shown below:

$F=mass\times acceleration\\\\\therefore acceleration=\frac{Force}{mass}$

Given mass of box = 5.0 kg

Frictional force = 30 N

thus

$acceleration=\frac{30}{5}=6m/s^{2}$

Now to find the time that the box requires to stop can be calculated by first equation of kinematics

The box will stop when it's final velocity becomes zero

$v=u+at\\\\0=8-6\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{8}{6}=4/3seconds$

Here acceleration is taken as negative since it opposes the motion of the box since frictional force always opposes motion.
