Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. This postulate is known as the law of inertia.

hope this helps :))

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be<em> balance force  </em>if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be<em> unbalanced force </em>if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to <em>Newton second law of motion </em>, acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

     F=ma

     a=\frac{F}{m}

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.

Suppose that a ball is released from the window of a train that is moving with constant velocity.  The path of the ball, as obse
barxatty [35]

True, the path of the ball, as observed from the train window, will be a horizontal straight line.

An object projected from a certain height has a parabolic path when observed from a fixed point.

However, if the reference point is moving at the same velocity as the object, the path of the object's motion appears to be a straight line.

When the ball is released from the window of the train, it will move at the same constant velocity as the train, and the path of the ball's motion observed from the train window will be a straight line.

Thus, we can conclude that the given statement is true. The path of the ball, as observed from the train window, will be a horizontal straight line.

A television of mass 12 kg sits on a table. The coefficient of static friction between the table and the television is 0.83. Wha
Zinaida [17]
The normal reaction between the television and the table is
N = 12 × 9.8 m/s² = 117.6 Newtons

But the static coefficient of friction is μ = 0.83

When the television is about to slide on the table, the applied force should overcome the force due to static friction;
Thus; the applied force should be at least 
F = μN
  = 0.83 × 117.6 N
  = 97.608 Newtons
Therefore; the minimum applied force will be 97.6 Newtons.

Explain the theory of Plate Tectonics. b) How does it account for the Mid-Atlantic Ridge? c) How does it account for volcanic is
hjlf

Answer:

A) The continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other. B) Divergent plate in Mid-Atlantic Ridge with material flowing into the ocean. C)  A plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling "Hot Spot" and created a volcanic island chain over the time

Explanation:

A) The basic thought is, that instead of being permanent fixtures of the earth's surface, the continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other, and in the process new crust is created at midoceanic ridges (spreading centers), and old crust is consumed at convergent plate boundaries (subduction zones).

B) There are basically three different types of plate boundaries:

Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.

Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

The best known of the divergent boundaries is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This submerged mountain range, which extends from the Arctic Ocean to beyond the southern tip of Africa, is but one segment of the global mid-ocean ridge system that encircles the Earth.

C) The linear arrangement of many seamounts indicates that they formed because the plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling, a so called mantle "Hot Spot".  Seamounts are submarine volcanoes that may finally build above the water level, in which case they are called islands.  If seamounts rise above sea level (due to buildup of material in a cone or upwelling mantle pushes up plate), they are subject to wave erosion and colonization by reefs, with both processes tending to create a flat top on the original volcanic cone.
