Answer:

If the size and direction of the forces acting on an object are exactly balanced, then there is no net force acting on the object and the object is said to be in equilibrium. Because the net force is equal to zero, the forces in Example 1 are acting in equilibrium.

Equilibrium of forces means that the net force is 0. It can either be when there is no force acting on the object or when the force acting on the object are balanced.

How much heat is required to vaporize 1.5kg of liquid water at its boiling point

Dafna11 [192]

Given:

Water, 1.5kg at boiling point

Required:

Heat required to vaporize at boiling point

Solution:

Water at boiling point is at 100degrees Celsius

Changing it into Kelvin, just dd 273 to 100 = 373 K

H = mCpT

H = (1.5kg)(4.184kJ/kg-K)(373K)

H = 2340.9kJ

A 1.0-kg ball has a velocity of 12 m/s downward just before it strikes the ground and bounces up with a velocity of 12 m/s upwar

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The change in momentum of the ball is 24 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 1 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -12 m/s (in downwards)

Final velocity of the ball, v = +12 m/s (in upward)

We need to find the change in momentum of the ball.

Initial momentum of the ball, $p_i=mu=1\ kg\times (-12\ m/s)=-12\ kg-m/s$

Final momentum of the ball, $p_f=mv=1\ kg\times (12\ m/s)=12\ kg-m/s$

Change in momentum of the ball, $\Delta p=p_f-p_i$

$\Delta p=12-(-12)=24\ kg-m/s$

So, the change in momentum of the ball is 24 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A force that causes an object to change its motion is called?

GarryVolchara [31]

Unbalanced force.

The definition of an unbalanced force is a force that changes the position, speed or direction of the object to which it is applied.

When an object is still it means that is is balanced force. So you would need to add more force to another side to make it move. Which is unbalanced force.
