Does a force cause motion or a change in motion

1 answer:

3 0

It changes the motion as Newton's second law of motion states that a force, acting on an object, will change its velocity by changing either its speed or its direction or both. If your basketball goes rolling into the street and is hit by a bike, either the ball will change direction or its speed or both.

Can someone give me an example or explanation of calculating energy from voltage? Many thanks!

antoniya [11.8K]

Expression to calculate energy from voltage: E= V*Q where E= energy, V= voltage, and Q= charge

Additional help:
-To find the Voltage ( V )
[ V = I x R ] V (volts) = I (amps) x R (Ω)

-To find the Current ( I )
[ I = V ÷ R ] I (amps) = V (volts) ÷ R (Ω)

-To find the Resistance ( R )
[ R = V ÷ I ] R (Ω) = V (volts) ÷ I (amps)

I hope that helps to some extent-

A professor, with dumbbells in his hands and holding his arms out, is spinning on a turntable with an angular velocity. What hap

Olenka [21]

Answer:

His angular velocity will increase.

Explanation:

According to the conservation of rotational momentum, the initial angular momentum of a system must be equal to the final angular momentum of the system.

The angular momentum of a system = $I$ 'ω'

where

$I$ ' is the initial rotational inertia

ω' is the initial angular velocity

the rotational inertia = $mr'^{2}$

where m is the mass of the system

and r' is the initial radius of rotation

Note that the professor does not change his position about the axis of rotation, so we are working relative to the dumbbells.

we can see that with the mass of the dumbbells remaining constant, if we reduce the radius of rotation of the dumbbells to r, the rotational inertia will reduce to $I$ .

From

$I$ 'ω' = $I$ ω

since $I$ is now reduced, ω will be greater than ω'

therefore, the angular velocity increases.

Suzie Spacewalker hovers in space beside a rotating space station in outer space. Both she and the center of mass of the space s

Inga [223]

Answer:

is in the earths orbit

Explanation:

for Suzie to hover in space beside the rotating space station, she and the center of mass of the space station are at relative rest which happens when space station is in Earth orbit, hence she is in the earths orbit.

A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wavecrest passes, five more crests pass in a time of 50.0 s. Thed

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

(a) T = 10 s

(b) f = 0.1 Hz

(d) v = 3.2 m/s

(e) Insufficient data

Explanation:

(a)

Time period is defined as the time interval required for one wave to pass. Therefore, the time period can be given as:

T = Period = Time Taken/No. of Waves

T = 50 s/5

T = 10 s

(b)

Frequency is the reciprocal of time period:

f = frequency = 1/T

f = 1/10 s

f = 0.1 Hz

(c)

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs:

λ = Wavelength = 32 m

(d)

Speed of wave is given by the following formula:

Speed = v = fλ

v = (0.1 Hz)(32 m)

v = 3.2 m/s

(e)

Amplitude cannot be found with given data.
