Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it? Think, Discuss it with your friends and teacher

1 answer:
Fudgin [204]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

An object can have a displacement in the absence of any external force acting on it

Explanation:

When a object moves with a constant velocity (v), then it gets displaced in the direction of motion but the net external force experienced by the object is zero.

F  external  =ma

If object moves with constant velocity, acceleration is zero.

Since, a=0  ⟹F  external  =0

Using  s=ut+  1/2 at  ^2

 ⟹    Displacement    s=ut    (∵a=0)

Hence, an object can have a displacement in the absence of any external force acting on it

Hope this helped you:)

g suppose a spring with spring constant of 50 N/m is hanging from the ceiling. You hang 2.0 kg mass from the spring. How far is
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The extension of the spring is 0.392 m.

Explanation:

Given;

spring constant, k = 50 N/m

mass attached to the spring, m = 2.0 kg

let the extension of the spring = x

The extension of the spring is calculated by applying Hook's law;

F = kx

mg = kx

x = \frac{mg}{k} \\\\x = \frac{2 \times 9.8}{50} \\\\x = 0.392 \ m

Therefore, the extension of the spring is 0.392 m.

What’s the similarity between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
Darya [45]

Explanation:

At first sight, it doesn’t make sense that both fission and fusion release energy.

The key is in how tightly the nucleons are held together in a nucleus. If a nuclear reaction produces nuclei that are more tightly bound than the originals, then the excess energy will be released.

It turns out that the most tightly bound atomic nuclei are around the size of iron-56.

Thus, if you split a nucleus that is much larger than iron into smaller fragments, you will release energy because the smaller fragments are at a lower energy than the original nucleus.

If instead you fuse very light nuclei to get bigger products, energy is again released because the nucleons in the products are more tightly bound than in the original nuclei.

hot-air balloon is ascending at the rate of 14 m/s and is 84 m above the ground when a package is dropped over the side. (a) How
timurjin [86]

Answer:

a) t = 4.14 s

b) Speed with which it hits the ground = 40.58 m/s

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion,

g = 9.8 m/s², y = H = 84 m,

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s,

final velocity, v = ?

Total Time of fall, t = ?

a) y = ut + gt²/2

84 = 0 + 9.8t²/2

4.9t² = 84

t² = 84/4.9

t = 4.14 s

b) v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 4.14)

v = 40.58 m/s

An elevator of massmis initially at rest onthe first floor of a building. It moves upward,and passes the second and third floors
Varvara68 [4.7K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of Work. Work is understood as the force applied to travel a determined distance, in this case the height. The force in turn can be expressed by Newton's second law as the ratio between mass and gravity, as well

W = mgh

Where,

m = mass

h = height

g = Gravitational constant

When it ascends to the second floor it has traveled the energy necessary to climb a height, under this logic, until the 4 floor has traveled 3 times the height h of each of the floors therefore

h = 3h

Replacing in our equation we have to

W = mgh\\W = mg(3h)\\W = 3mgh

The correct answer is 4.
