Answer:

False statement = There must be a non-zero net force acting on the object.  

Explanation:

An object is moving at a constant speed along a straight line. If the speed is constant then its velocity must be constant. We know that the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of the object i.e.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

a = 0

⇒ The acceleration of the object is zero.

The product of force and acceleration gives the magnitude of force acting on the object i.e.

F = m a = 0

⇒  The net force acting on the object must be zero.

So, the option (a) is not true. This is because the force acting on the object is zero. First option contradicts the fact.

A large box slides across a frictionless surface with a velocity of 12 m/s and a mass of 4
denpristay [2]
Answer= 8m/s

Because total Momentum before= total momentum after

Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48

Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u


Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s

Use V=Voe^-t/RC and T=RC to derive T1/2=Tln2
Ksju [112]
Enclosed is some guidance algebra.I find this q a little confusing. It quotes "RC" which usually makes me think of electrical circuits and time constants based on converting calculating RC value and equating that to t for one time constant then 2RC for two time constants etc. The theory being that after 5 time constants - 5RC - a circuit is stable. BUT, this q then goes on to mention HALF LIFE. The curves for both half life and time constant are both exponential, as in the number e to the power of something, but the algebra is slightly different. I hope my algebra is ok.
