True or false: Balanced forces can change an object's direction?

Physics

Answer:

False

Explanation:

As per Newton's first law of motion, an object will not change its state of motion until an external unbalanced force is applied on it.

If a balanced force is applied on an object there will be no change in state of motion. Take for example a box. One person moves it to left with force F and another person moves it to the right with same force F. The box will not move. But if the two forces are not equal then a net force will be acting on the box and it will move and its direction will be changed.

The statement is false.  Balanced forces can NOT change the speed OR direction of an object's motion.  (See Newton's #1 law of motion.)

What is due to acids formed when atmospheric and volcanic gases mix with water
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground.

A boy on a 1.9 kg skateboard initially at rest tosses a(n) 7.8 kg jug of water in the forward direction. if the jug has a speed
Tresset [83]
For this case we first think that the skateboard and the child are one body.
 We have then:
 1 = jug
 2 = skateboard + boy
 By conservation of the linear amount of movement:
 M1V1i + M2V2i = M1V1f + M2V2f
 Initial rest:
 v1i = v2i = 0
 0 = M1V1f + M2V2f
 Substituting values
 0 = (7.8) (3.2) + (M2) (- 0.65)
 0 = 24.96 + M2 (-0.65)
 -24.96 = (-0.65) M2
 M2 = (-24.96) / (- 0.65) = 38.4 kg
 Then, the child's mass is:
 M2 = Mskateboard + Mb
 Clearing:
 Mb = M2-Mskateboard
 Mb = 38.4 - 1.9
 Mb = 36.5 Kg
 answer:
 the boy's mass is 36.5 Kg
