What does Newton's first law of motion tell us about velocity?

Physics

zubka84 [21]3 years ago

Every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a resultant external force. That's approximately Newton's first law of motion. 
So, the velocity of something tends to remain the same, unless an external force changes it. This is sometimes called "inertia". A body at rest, as in with "no velocity" will tend to remain at rest, unless there's a force on it. inertia again.

A rock is being twirled in a circle on the end of a string. The string provides the centripetal force needed to keep the ball mo
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The force of tension exerted by the string on the rock acts as centripetal force, so its direction is always towards the centre of the circle.

However, the direction of motion of the rock is always tangential to the circle: this means that the force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the rock.

As we know, the work done by a force on an object is

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the force and the displacement

In this situation, F and d are perpendicular, so \theta=90^{\circ}, therefore cos \theta = 0 and the work done is zero:

W=0

Please help!!! The radius of a circle is 5.5 cm, the circumference in meters is 34.56, the area in square meters is 95.03. What
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

47.515 cm²

In meter square= 4.7515 *10^-3 m²

Explanation:

The radius of a circle = 5.5 cm

In meter= 5.5*0.01

= 0.055 m

the circumference= 34.56 cm

in meters = 34.56 cm*0.01

= 0.3456 meters

the area= 95.03 cm²

in square meters =95.03*(0.01)²

in square meters= 9.503*10^-3 m²

. area under the curve at the right

= Area of semi circle

= Area of circle/2

= 95.03 /2

= 47.515 cm²

In meter square= 4.7515 *10^-3 m²

who brought astronomy out of the dark ages by declaring: "finally we shall place the sun himself at the center of the universe.
solong [7]

Nicolaus Copernicus was the one who brought astronomy out of the dark ages.

In one of his books "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies", he published the renowned line which declares his theory.

Nicolaus Copernicus, A polish astronomer put forward the theory that the is th Sun one that rests in the middle or center of the Universe and the planet Earth revolves around it on its axis every day.which was considered to be called the Heliocentric system.

The sun is 60° above the horizon. Rays from the sun strike the still surface of a pond and cast a shadow of a stick that is stuc
Kipish [7]

Answer:

shadow length 7.67 cm

Explanation:

given data:

refractive index of water is 1.33

by snell's law we have

n_{air} sin30 =n_{water} sin\theta

1*0.5 = 1.33*sin\theta

solving for\theta

sin\theta = \frac{3}{8}

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{3}{8}

\theta =  22 degree

from shadow- stick traingle

tan(90-\theta) = cot\theta = \frac{h}{s}

s = \frac{h}{cot\theta} = h tan\theta

s = 19tan22 = 7.67 cm

s = shadow length
