NO net force is required to keep a moving object moving in a straight
line at a constant speed. In fact, if you apply ANY force to it, in ANY
direction, then its speed, its direction, or both must change, and its
velocity won't be uniform any more.
I know we never see this in our daily life. Whenever we see an object
moving, it always stops. That's because the net force on it is never zero ...
there's always some gravity or some friction acting on it. That's what you
have to put up with when you live on Earth.
Answer:
- Newton's first law applies. An object at rest will stay that way until a force is applied.
- Any amount of effort can be applied to any amount of mass (in the ideal case). The question is not sufficiently specific.
Explanation:
A force is required to move an object because the object will stay at rest until a force is applied.

The effort required to lift or push two masses instead of one depends on the desired effect. For the same kinetic energy, no more effort is required. For the same momentum, half the effort is required for two masses. For the same velocity, double the effort is required.
Question:
The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:
Alternative Precipitation
Low Normal High
Do nothing -100 100 300
Expand 350 500 200
Build new 750 300 0
If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?
A. $140,000
B. $170,000
C. $285,000
D. $305,000
E. $475,000
Answer:
D. $170,000
Explanation:
The expected long run profits are for
Low Normal High
Do nothing -100*0.3 100*0.2 300*0.5 = 140
Expand 350*0.3 500*0.2 200*0.5 = 305
Build new 750*0.3 300*0.2 0*0.5 = 285
Therefore the expected long run profits are
$140,000
$305,000
$285,000
Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand
=$305,000
EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000
Answer:
they can blend in with their suroundings
Explanation:
Answer:
0.079 m or 79 mm
Explanation:
Using the equation of motion
v = √(2as)
Where v is the velocity
a is acceleration = 1400m/s²
s is the distance = 0.55 mm = 0.00055m
Therefore
= √(2 × 1400m/s² × 0.00055 m) = 1.54 m/s
Therefore; initial velocity = 1.54 m/s
Then we use the equation of motion s = v² / 2g
Take g = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore
= (1.54m/s)² / 19.6 m/s²
= 0.079 m or 79 mm
