Answer:

No, it does not violate Newton's first law

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that, "A body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight unless acted up by a force to make it act otherwise" This means a force is required to initiate movement and also required to halt it.

For a skate positioned to roll down a bank, Here, the force of gravity acting on the skate acting downward will make the skate roll without having to push off the skate with a foot. Because the position of the skate doesn't balance the Gravitational force acting on it. Hence. The Gravitational force is enough to set the skate in motion.

A body is at aheight of 81m and is ascending upwards with a velocity of 12m/s .a body of 2 kg weight is dropped from it.if g=10m

butalik [34]

First the velocity drops to zero in 1.2 secs. In those seconds it went upwards for 7.2 m, then it went from 87.2 to 0m. x-x0=v0*t+1/2*g*t^2 ergo t=sqrt(2x/g) that is 4.1761 s. Finally the total time required is 5.3761 s

A net force of 24 N is acting on a 4.0-kg object. Find the acceleration in m/s2.

Inessa [10]

Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:
$\Sigma F = ma$

ΣF = Net force (N)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)

We can rearrange the equation to solve for the acceleration.

$a = \frac{\Sigma F}{m}\\\\a = \frac{24}{4} = \boxed{6 \frac{m}{s^2}}$

A material that can be hit without shattering is? viscous, flammable, hard, malleable

nika2105 [10]

Malleable

Malleability is a property of matter, that’s specializes in metals, in which these metals can be bended, twisted or formed into a thinner sheets, and not being able to shatter to pieces instead it can be formed into a new shape. Unlike the other three, take for instance hardness. If a hard object such as wood for example when used with an axe it breaks and it is lead to smithereens. Flammable like is when applied to fire can dramatically explode when hit it obviously breaks.

If you travel 1.7 km north from your house at noon, and at 6:00 PM you travel 5.4 km south, what is your displacement? 3.7 km no

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer

3.7 Km south

Explanation

The definition of displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is the vector quantity. We add displacements like the way we add vectors.

Taking the direction towards North to be positive (+1.7 Km), the distance towards south would be negative (-5.4 Km).

Now lets add the two values.

(+1.7) + (-5.4) = 1.7 - 5.4

= - 3.7 Km But negative was towards south.

∴ Answer = 3.7 Km south.
