Correct options:

Has a net force of zero

Explanation:

Newton's first law, also known as law of inertia, states that:

"An object at rest which has a net force of zero acting on it stays at rest, and an object moving at constant velocity which has a net force of zero acting on it continues its motion at constant velocity"

The first situation (object at rest) is called static equilibrium, while the second situation (object moving at constant velocity) is called dynamic equilibrium. As we read from the statement of the Newton's first law, in both situations the object has a net force of zero acting on it, so this is the label that should be placed in region X (which is the region in common between both dynamic and static equilibrium)

Newton's first law states that an object at rest remains so until acted upon by external forces or an object in motion does so without accelerating (that is, at constant speed).

Therefore, x can only describe an object coming to rest. That, the last option is more correct.

Merry-go-rounds are a common ride in park playgrounds. The ride is a horizontal disk that rotates about a vertical axis at their

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A = 2.36m/s

B = 3.71m/s²

C = 29.61m/s2

Explanation:

First, we convert the diameter of the ride from ft to m

10ft = 3m

Speed of the rider is the

v = circumference of the circle divided by time of rotation

v = [2π(D/2)]/T

v = [2π(3/2)]/4

v = 3π/4

v = 2.36m/s

Radial acceleration can also be found as a = v²/r

Where v = speed of the rider

r = radius of the ride

a = 2.36²/1.5

a = 3.71m/s²

If the time of revolution is halved, then radial acceleration is

A = 4π²R/T²

A = (4 * π² * 3)/2²

A = 118.44/4

A = 29.61m/s²

A 40-W lightbulb is 1.7 m from a screen. What is the intensity of light incident on the screen? Assume that a lightbulb emits ra

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Intensity, $I=1.101\ W/m^2$

Explanation:

Power of the light bulb, P = 40 W

Distance from screen, r = 1.7 m

Let I is the intensity of light incident on the screen. The power acting per unit area is called the intensity of the light. Its formula is given by :

$I=\dfrac{P}{A}$

$I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

$I=\dfrac{40\ W}{4\pi (1.7\ m)^2}$

$I=1.101\ W/m^2$

So, the intensity of light is $1.101\ W/m^2$ .

Suppose that you have been chosen for a space mission to a distant planet. Due to the length of time you'll be away from Earth y

Contact [7]

Answer:

I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

Explanation:

Since time dilates in moving objects, we use the formula t = t₀/√(1 - β²) where t = time in space vehicle, t₀ = time on earth = 9 hours and β = v/c where v = speed of space vehicle = 0.8c.

So, t = t₀/√(1 - β²)

t = 9/√(1 - (v/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8c/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.64)

= 9/√0.36

= 9/0.6

= 15 hr

So, according to a timer on the space vehicle, I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

What is the weight of an astronaut who has a mass of 90 kg on the moon? (Note: acceleration due to gravity of the moon is 1.62 N

motikmotik

Answer:

W = 145.8 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember that weight is defined as the product of mass by gravity, in this case lunar gravity.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 90 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 1.62 [kg/m²]

W = 90*1.62

W = 145.8 [N]
