Answer:

yes for both.

Explanation:

according to Newton's first law an object in motion will stay in motion until acted on by an outside force and an object at rest will stay at rest until acted on by an outside force. this means that an object that is moving will stay moving in the direction that it's moving and at the same speed unless there's an outside force acting on it and it will keep in motion until there is an outside force acting on it.

The motion can change and it also can stop from gravitational force

What is the final speed if the displacement is increased by a factor of 4?

oksian1 [2.3K]

From the laws of motions:
x = 0.5 at^2 where
x is the displacement
a is the force of gravity (constant = 9.8 m/sec^2)
t is the time taken

Since "a" is constant, therefore:
the displacement is directly proportional to the square of the time.
This means that, increasing the displacement by a factor of 4 would increase the time by a factor of (4)^2 = 16.

A sheet of gold leaf has a thickness of 0.125 micrometer. A gold atom has a radius of 174pm. Approximately how many layers of at

Olegator [25]

Answer:

719

Explanation:

Conversion

1 picometer (pm) is equivalent to $1 × 10^{-12}$ meter

1 micrometer is equivalent to $1 × 10^{-6}$ meter

To find the number of layers, we divide the overal leaf thickness by the thickness of one atom hence dividing tex]0.125 × 10^{-6}[/tex] meter by $174 × 10^{-12}$ meter we get that the number of sheets will be as follows

$\frac {0.125× 10^{-6}}{174\times 10^{-12}}=718.3908045\approx 719$

Therefore, they are approximately 719 sheets

A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror at an angle of 30 degree state the angle of reflection?

kozerog [31]

Answer:

30°

Explanation:

<em>The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.</em>

∠i = ∠r

so as ∠i = 30°

∠r will also be 30°

A train travels 63 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 56 kilometers in 3 hours. What is its average speed? i need the answer and un

kolbaska11 [484]

The average speed is the ratio between the total space and the total time of the motion:
$v= \frac{S_{tot}}{t_{tot}}$
The total space is
$S_{tot}=63 km + 56 km = 119 km$
while the total time is
$t_{tot}=2h+3h = 5h$
So, the average velocity is
$v= \frac{119 km}{5 h} =23.8 km/h
$

We can also rewrite it in m/s. The total space is $S_{tot}=119000 m$ , while the time is $t_{tot}=5h\cdot 3600 s/h = 18000s$ , and so
$v= \frac{119000m}{18000s}=6.6 m/s$
