When an unbalanced force acts on an object, the object accelerates. We can immediately rule out B and D, as friction changes based on the material and by applying a force the net force can’t be zero. It can be easy to say that the object will speed up after the force is applied (and it often does!), but take a braking car, for example. An external force of friction is applied to the brakes, causing an acceleration but in such a fashion that the car slows down. So, although an object can speed up after a force is applied, it isn’t always guaranteed.

Hope this helps!

sergey [27]

Since Astronaut and wrench system is isolated in the space and there is no external force on it

So here momentum of the system will remain conserved

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

initially both are at rest

so here plug in all values

0 = 100 v_{1f} + 2\times 10

v_{1f} = -0.20 m/s

so here the astronaut will move in opposite direction and its speed will be equal to 0.20 m/s

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 40%, while operating between hot and cold rese
lesya [120]

From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:


efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100


Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)

For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%

For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40% 

For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20% 


Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.

When you drive a car around a curve that is not banked, what force provides the centripetal acceleration? HINT: Think about turn
algol [13]
The centripetal force is provided by the friction between the tyres and the ground. That's why a car will slip on ice, because there is less friction.

write aparagraph explaining the difference bln the heat energy in a substances temperature in physics​
iVinArrow [24]

The core difference is that heat deals with thermal energy, whereas temperature is more concerned with molecular kinetic energy. Heat is the transfer of thermal energy, whereas temperature is a property the object exhibits.
