Answer:

C. must not be accelerating (i e, a = 0 m/s/s)

Explanation:

  • When forces acting on an object are balanced the object is said to be at equilibrium.
  • Unbalanced forces causes an object to accelerate, such that if two forces acting on an object are an equal, then the object will accelerate towards the direction of the greater force.
  • On the other hand, when forces acting on an object are balanced, the object will be in a state of equilibrium and will not accelerate.
  • Therefore, when forces are balanced acceleration is zero and the velocity of the object will remain constant.

A climber using bottled oxygen accidentally drops the oxygen bottle from an altitude of 4500 m. If the bottle fell straight down
Trava [24]

Answer:

v= 300 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

altitude ,h= 4500 m

The mass ,m = 3 kg

Lets take acceleration due to gravity , g= 10 m/s²

The speed before impact at sea  level =  v

Initial speed ,u = 0 m/s

We know that

v²=u²+2 g h

v=final speed

u=initial speed

h=height

Now by putting the values in the above equation

v² = 0²+ 2 x 10 x 4500

v²=90000

v= 300 m/s

Therefore the speed at sea level will be 300 m/s.

Radioactive nuclei decay to become unstable. Is this true or false?
Damm [24]

The unstable nuclei undergo radioactive decay. The nucleus decay in form of emitting the radiations or changing into the different chemical element.

Thus, the nucleus decay takes place till the nuclei become stable.

Hence, given statement is false.

Place the single weight with a known mass on the spring and release it. Eventually, the weight will come to rest at an equilibri
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

X=m*g/K

Explanation:

Since the elastic force of the spring is balancing the force of gravity:

Fe = m*g

Now, on the spring by Hook's law, the magnitude of the elastic force will be:

Fe = K*X     where K is the elastic constant of the spring and X is the distance the spring is strectches measured from its original lenght to its current length.

Replacing this value:

K*X = m*g   Solving for X:

X = m*g/K    This value is directly proportional to the object's weight and inversely proportional to the spring's constant.
