An object of mass 100 kg is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. At time t = 0, a horizontal force of 10 N is

applied to the object for 1 s and then removed. Which of the following is true of the object at time t = 2s if it is still on the surface?
(A) It is at the same position it had at t 0, since a force of 10 N is not large enough to move such a massive object.
(B) It is moving with constant nonzero acceleration.
(C) It is moving with decreasing acceleration.
(D) It is moving at a constant speed
(E) It has come to rest some distance away from the position it had att 0.

Answer:

(D) It is moving at a constant speed

Explanation:

Before t = 1s. Due to the force, albeit small, acting on the object, since there's no static friction stopping the object from moving, this mass object would have a constant acceleration and it's velocity would be increasing.

According to Newton's 1st law, an object will stay at a constant speed if the net force acting on it is 0. After t = 1s, horizontally speaking there's no other force exerting on the mass object. There is no friction force at play here as the surface is frictionless.

Therefore the correct statement is (D) It is moving at a constant speed

A scientist suspends a spring from a force sensor. She then pulls on the spring causing the spring to stretch 1.0 cm. She record
Nadusha1986 [10]
This situation describes the Hooke's Law which states that "When an elastic object - such as a spring - is stretched, the increased length is called its extension. The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it". The formula is <span>F = k × e , F for the force, k for spring constant expressed in N/m, e for extension in m. This equation works for as long the spring is not stretch too much because once it exceeded its limit, the spring will not return to its original length the moment the load is removed.</span>

Which of Galileo’s discoveries were later used in Newton’s laws?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a moving object will keep moving if not stopped

the sun being at the center of the solar system

Explanation:

Galileo is known for being the first person make a telescope, there fore being the first person to see that the sun is in the center of the solar system. he also came up with the theory that if something is pushed, it would keep moving until stopped by another force. For example, say you drop your pencil, it keeps falling until it hits the ground. That is exactly what Galileo did in his  Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment and found that theory to be true.
