Newton’s Second Law of motion defines force in terms of mass and acceleration, F= ma. Which of the following is false? The term

for force in the above equation represents the net force on the object.
The forces creating the net force can lie in any direction.
The forces creating the net force must lie in the same direction.
The acceleration is directed in the same direction as the net force.
A zero net force indicates a state of equilibrium.

Answer:

The forces creating the net force must lie in the same direction.

Explanation:

newton's second law states that the net force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and the acceleration of the body.

If there are several forces acting on the body in different directions, then we have to find teh net force by using the vector sum and then find the acceleration.

It is not necessary that all the forces acting in the same direction.

if they are in different directions then we have to find the net force by t=using the formula for the vector sum.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

.

» 30 N

Explanation:

<u>Given</u> :

Mass → m → 6kg

Acceleration → a →

5 {ms}^{ - 2}

<u>To</u><u> </u><u>find</u> :

The formula for force

F = m • a

F = 6 • 5

F = 30 N

A stone is dropped down a well and hits the water 2.50 s later. What is the depth from the edge of the well to the water? 61.3,
Gennadij [26K]

Answer;

30.6 m

Explanation;

All objects accelerate at the constant rate in the Earth's gravitational field. The gravitational acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s².

Distance traveled by an object falling down under a constant acceleration will be given the formula;

s = ut² + 1/2(gt²); but u the initial velocity is o

thus;

S =1/2(gt²)

  = 0.5 × 9.81 × 2.5 ²

  = 30.65

  ≈ 30.6 m

Which statement best describes perigee?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth  --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun  --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name

If the voltage across a circuit of constant resistance is doubled, the power dissipated by that circuit will
densk [106]

Answer:

The voltage will quadruple

Explanation:

The power dissipated in a circuit is given by

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

In this problem, the voltage across the circuit is doubled:

V' = 2V

So the new power dissipated is

P'=\frac{V'^2}{R}=\frac{(2V)^2}{R}=4\frac{V^2}{R}=4 P

so, the power dissipated will quadruple.
