An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by a force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a force.

Answer:

Law of inertia is Newton's first law of motion..

Explanation:

It means that a body will tend to be in it's motion or tend to move in a straight line unless any external force is acted upon it..

Eg: while you are travelling in bus.. If breaks are suddenly applied your body falls forward because you were in motion with bus but it tries to be in motion when breaks are applied...

Why collaboration in science is critical to success in the scientific community

Marianna [84]

Collaboration in science is important because if only one scientist does an experiment, and gets a result, he/she could have messed. So this is where collaboration comes in. A few other scientists could try the experiment, and if they get the same answers, the result may be proven correct.

Hope this helped!

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.10m/s. At a height of 105m above the Earth, a package is dropped from a w

Luden [163]

Here it is given that initial speed of the package will be same as speed of the helicopter

$v_i = 5.10 m/s$

displacement of the package as it is dropped on ground

$d = -105 m$

acceleration is due to gravity

$a = -9.8 m/s^2$

now by kinematics

$y = v* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$-105 = 5.1 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2$

$4.9 t^2 - 5.1 t - 105 = 0$

by solving above equation we have

$t = 5.2 s$

so it will take 5.2 s to reach the ground

Which of the following is an example of Newton's Third Law?* O A stack of pennies will not move unless you flick them over. O Fa

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

A ball hits the ground and the ground pushes up on it

Explanation:

Newton's third law basically states that for every action, there's a reaction.

a ball hitting the ground would be the action. the ground pushing up on it with the same force is the reaction.

A river flows with a speed of 0.600 m/s. A student first swims upriver 0.500 km, then turns around and returns to his starting p

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a) 1111.0 seconds

b) 833.3 s

c) Because of proportions

Explanation:

a) Total time of round trip is the sum of time upriver and time downriver

$t_{total}=t_{up}+t_{down}$

Time upriver is calculated with the net speed of student and 0.500 km:

$t_{up}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=v_{relative to river}+v_{river}=-1.2+0.6=-0.6 m/s\\t_{up}=\frac{500 m}{0.6 m/s}=833.3 s$

(Becareful with units 0.5 km= 500m) Similarly of downriver:

$t_{down}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=1.2+0.6=1.8 m/s\\t_{down}=\frac{500 m}{1.8 m/s}=277.7 s$

So the sum is:

$t_{total}=1111.0s$

b) Still water does not affect student speed, so total time would be simply:

$t_{total}=\frac{1000 m}{1.2 m/s}=833.3 s$

c) For the upriver trip, student moved half the distance in half speed of the calculation in b), so it kept the same ratio and therefore, same time. So the aditional time is actually the downriver.
