What does Newton's first law describes​

Physics
1 answer:
Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago

The idea that objects only change their velocity due to a force is encapsulated in Newton's first law. Newton's first law: An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.

pashok25 [27]
Refer to the figure below.
R = resistance.

Case 1:
The voltage source is V₁ and the current is 10 mA. Therefore
V₁ = (10 mA)R

Case 2:
The voltage source is V₂ and the current is 8 mA. Therefore
V₂ = (8 mA)R

Case 3:
The voltage across the resistance is V₁ - V₂. Therefore the current I is given by
V₁ - V₂ = IR
10R - 8R = (I mA)R
2 = I
The current is 2 mA.

Answer: 2 mA

A spring of negligible mass stretches 3.00 cm from its relaxed length when a force of 7.50 N is applied. A 0.500-kg particle res
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

a) 250 N/m

b) 22.4 rad/s , 3.6 Hz , 0.28 sec

c) 0.3125 J

Explanation:

a)

F = force applied on the spring = 7.50 N

x = stretch of the spring from relaxed length when force "F" is applied = 3 cm = 0.03 m

k = spring constant of the spring

Since the force applied causes the spring to stretch

F = k x

7.50 = k (0.03)

k = 250 N/m

b)

m = mass of the particle attached to the spring = 0.500 kg

Angular frequency of motion is given as

w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

w = \sqrt{\frac{250}{0.5}}

w = 22.4 rad/s

f = frequency

Angular frequency is also given as

w = 2 π f

22.4 = 2 (3.14) f

f  = 3.6 Hz

T = Time period

Time period is given as

T = \frac{1}{f}

T = \frac{1}{3.6}

T = 0.28 sec

c)

A = amplitude of motion = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Total energy of the spring-block system is given as

U = (0.5) k A²

U = (0.5) (250) (0.05)²

U = 0.3125 J

40 POINTS <br> Can someone please answer me questions 16 and 17
Tatiana [17]
16. Solids cannot transport heat through convection. Because solids are stuck in place so they can't flow and since they can't flow, there is no convection.
17. It is because the metal conducts heat faster that it feels colder than the wood, which conducted heat slower. In other words metals are good conductors of heat. It takes away your body heat as you touch it and which makes your body temperature to drop, therefore you feel the coldness when you touch a piece of metal.

How does the sun provide us with the energy we need to run our bodies?
ivanzaharov [21]
The sun radiates a lot of things we need like vitamin D and heat. It also is the energy source of organisms that survive off of photosynthesis, like plants, which we or other consumers eat.
It's like this:
Sun--->Producers (Plants and Protists) ---> Consumers (animals and humans) ---> Decomposers (mostly bugs, bacteria, and fungi)
