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.

A soccer ball is traveling at a velocity of 50 m/s. The kinetic energy of the ball is 500 J. What is the mass of the soccer ball
Savatey [412]
A soccer ball is traveling at a velocity of 50 m/s. The kinetic energy of the ball is 500 J.The mass of the soccer ball is 0.4 kgs. This answer is derived from the formula K=1/2 MV^2.So velocity and kinetic energy are given from that mass of the ball is calculated.By substituting the values 500=1/2*M*50*50 which gives M=0.4 Kgs.<span>

worty [1.4K]
Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

Answer: B. helium

A gun is fired on a day when the speed of sound is 335 m/s and an echo is heard 0.75 seconds later. How far away is the object t
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

v= 335 m/s

2∆t= 0.75 s

∆x= v.∆t → ∆x= 335×½×0.75 = 125.625 m

True/False: If an object stays still, but the observer moves, the Doppler Effect is still observered
Vladimir79 [104]

Well, Harry, what you said is not necessarily true the way you said it. 
But we know what you mean, and what you meant to say is true.

The Doppler effect is observed if there is relative radial motion
between an object and an observer <em><u>AND</u></em> if the object happens
to be putting out sound or light in the observer's direction.
