If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant speed AND its direction isn't changing, then its velocity is constant.  Another way to say that is: Its acceleration is zero.  Zero acceleration means zero NET force acting on the object, or a group of BALANCED forces acting on it, also called EQUILIBRIUM.  The required answer is: YES.

If a real projectile is launched, the force of gravity acts on it vertically downward.  There's no upward force acting on it to balance gravity.  Therefore, the forces on the projectile are NOT balanced, there IS a net vertical force on it, and it's NOT in equilibrium.  Too bad.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The elevator's free-body diagram has three forces, the force of gravity, a downward normal force from you, and an upward force from the tension in the cable holding the elevator. The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable.

A schoolbus accelerates to 65 mph and enters the freeway. It travels for 2.3 hours at that speed while on the freeway. What's th
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The distance travelled on the freeway is 149.5 miles.

Explanation:

The school bus travels on the freeway at constant speed. According to the statement, we need to calculate the distance travelled by the vehicle by means of the following formula:

x = v\cdot t (1)

Where:

x - Traveled distance, in miles.

v - Speed, in miles per hour.

t - Time, in hours.

If we know that v = 65\,\frac{mi}{h} and t = 2.3\,h, then the distance travelled by the school bus is:

x = v\cdot t

x =  \left(65\,\frac{mi}{h} \right)\cdot (2.3\,h)

x = 149.5\,mi

The distance travelled on the freeway is 149.5 miles.

Which statement describes steps involved in the production of hydroelectric power?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Answer is D.......Falling water turns a turbine that helps generate electricity.

Explanation:

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.

You toss a bowling ball straight up into the air with a speed of 2.1 m/s. How long does it take the bowling ball to reach its hi
lara [203]

Time taken by the bowling ball to reach its highest point= 0.214 s

initial velocity= Vi=2.1 m/s

Final velocity= Vf=0 as the velocity at the highest point is zero.

acceleration= g= -9.8 m/s²

using the kinematic equation Vf= Vi + at

0= 2.1 + (-9.8)t

t= -2.1/-9.8

t=0.214 s

Thus the time taken by the bowling ball to reach its highest point is 0.214 s
