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.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

b. varies inversely with the square of the distance from the center of Earth.

Explanation:

Comparing the Newton's law of universal gravitation and second law of motion;

from Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma ............. 1

from New ton's law of universal gravitation,

F = \frac{GMm}{r^{2} } ........... 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

mg =  \frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

g = \frac{GM}{r^{2} }

Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity near Earth, g, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of Earth.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

The current flows through the rod is 14.9 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field = 0.045 T

Mass of aluminum rod  = 0.19 kg

Length = 1.6 m

Angle = 30.0°

We need to calculate the force

Using resolving force

F\cos\theta=mg\sin\theta

F=mg\tan\theta

Put the value into the formula

F=0.19\times9.8\times\tan30

F=1.075\ N

We need to calculate the current flows through the rod

Using formula of magnetic force

F=iLB

i=\dfrac{F}{LB}

Put the value into the formula

i=\dfrac{1.075}{1.6\times0.045}

i=14.9\ A

Hence, The current flows through the rod is 14.9 A.

If a population of 1,000 individuals has 160 rr genotypes, what is the frequency of the rr genotype?
lesya692 [45]
The frequency of a genotype is how often it occurs. This can be obtained by:
number of occurrences / total population
= 160 / 1000
= 0.16 or 16%
