In order to overcome an object’s inertia (resistance to change), it must be acted upon by an unbalanced force, so the answer to the problem is letter C.

According to Newton's first law, the law of inertia, an object's velocity will not change unless it is acted upon by an outside force. This means that objects at rest tend to stay at rest, and objects in motion tend to stay in motion.

Consider an unknown charge that is released from rest at a particular location in an electric field so that it has some initial

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the charge is released at rest in an electric field, it will move along the electric field, going to regions of higher electric potential if it is a negative charge (against the field direction) and towards lower potential regions if it is positive (along the field). This means that the charge will gain kinetic energy, energy that only can come from a decrease in the electric potential energy.

For a positive charge: ΔEp = q*ΔV < 0 (as ΔV < 0)

For a negative charge: ΔEp = (-q) *ΔV < 0 (as ΔV > 0)

Which vector should be negative?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The velocity of a falling object

Explanation:

The positive X axis is towards right and positive Y axis is towards up, so North direction is positive

A vector with less than 1 magnitude is not negative, because its magnitude may be in between 0 and 1 which is positive vector.

Any vector whose magnitude is greater than 1 is never be a negative vector.

The velocity of a falling object is towards bottom, that is towards negative Y axis. So that vector is negative.

If 270 watts of power is used in 42 seconds, how much work was done

navik [9.2K]

Answer: W = 11340J

Explanation:

Hey there! I will give the following steps, if you have any questions feel free to ask me in the comments below.

So this is the Formula: Power = Work / Time.

Step 1: Find the Formula

P = W / T

Step 2: Make W the subject of the equation.

W = PT

Step 3: Given.

P = 270 Watts, T = 42 seconds

Step 4: Substitute these values into equation 2 .

W = 270(42)

Step 5: Simplify.

W = 11340J

The amount of work done was 11340.

Two sealed 1 l containers full of gas are at room temperature. Container a has a pressure of 4 atm and container b has a pressur

loris [4]

Answer:

The number density of the gas in container A is twice the number density of the gas in container B.

Explanation:

Here we have

P·V =n·R·T

n = P·V/(RT)

Therefore since V₁ = V₂ and T₁ = T₂

n₁ = P₁V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ = P₂V₂/(RT₂)

P₁ = 4 atm

P₂ = 2 atm

n₁ = 4V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ =2·V₁/(RT₁)

∴ n₁ = 2 × n₂

Therefore, the number of moles in container A is two times that in container B and the number density of the gas in container A is two times the number density in container B.

This can be shown based on the fact that the pressure of the container is due to the collision of the gas molecules on the walls of the container, with a kinetic energy that is dependent on temperature and mass, and since the temperature is constant, then the mass of container B is twice that of A and therefore, the number density of container A is twice that of B.
