According to Newton's Ist law, what will an object in motion tend to do?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

According to Newton's first law of motion:

An object in motion tends to remain in motion unless an external force acts upon it.

It stays in motion with the same speed and goes in the same direction.

Hope this helped

How do two positive electric charges react to each other?

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The two positive electric charges repel each other. If a positive charge and a negative charge interact, their forces act in the same direction, from the positive to the negative charge. As a result opposite charges attract each other: The electric field and resulting forces produced by two electrical charges of opposite polarity.

The launching catapult of the aircraft carrier gives the jet fighter a constant acceleration of 59 m/s2 from rest relative to th

irina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find the final velocity of aircraft with respect to aircraft carrier using the following relation.

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2 x 59 x 97

v² = 11446

v = 107 m /s

velocity of aircraft carrier = 1.852 x 26 = 48.152 km/h

= 48.152 x 1000 / (60 x 60) m/s

= 13.37 m /s

This velocity of aircraft carrier will be added to the velocity of aircraft .

So absolute velocity of aircraft = 107 m /s + 13.37 m/s

= 120.37 m/s

A 140 g baseball is moving horizontally to the right at 35 mis when it is hit by the bat. the ball fl ies off to the le ft at 55

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

J = 12.32kg*m/s

Explanation:

Assumptions: I'm assuming mis is m/s

Given: The baseball's mass is 140g, so convert to kg, 0.140kg. (Good rule of thumb, in physics convert grams to kilograms). It is initially traveling 35 m/s to the right.

When it hits the bat, it flies left with a velocity of 55 m/s at an angle of 25°. To reiterate:

mass = 0.140kg, Initial: 35m/s, Final: 55m/s at an angle of 25°

For this problem, we have to use the impulse equation, but before that lets break the velocity into components (It will be apparent towards the end):

The initial velocity is moving only in the horizontal direction, so:

$v_{0x} = 35 m/s$

The final velocity has an x and a y component:

$v_{fx} = 55cos(25) = 49.84692829m/s\\v_{fy} = 55sin(25) = 23.2440044m/s$

Now the equation for impulse is (dp is Δp, which is difference in momentum; dv is Δv, the difference in velocity; J is impulse):

$J = dp= m*dv$

To get Δv, we have to find the difference of velocity, that is why we broke it into components. I'm going to define right as positive and left as negative. After that, we find the velocity vector:

$dv_{x} = (35-(-49.84692829)) = 84.84692829 m/s\\dv_{y} = (0-(23.2440044)) = -23.2440044 m/s\\dv = \sqrt{(84.84692829)^2+(-23.2440044)^2} = 87.97320604m/s$

Finally, substitute into the equation

$J = m*dv\\J = 0.140kg * 87.97320604m/s\\J = 12.31624885kg*m/s\\J = 12.32 kg*m/s$

J = 12.32kg*m/s
