Objects in motion tend to stay in motion in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted on by a(n) force​

Physics
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Newton's first law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object will continue to remain at rest or move with uniform motion unless it is acted upon by an external force.

This law is known as the law of inertial.

Unless a net force greater than zero acts on a body, it will continue to remain at rest or move uniformly.

This is very correct and has a wide range of application for many mechanics studies. In that we know that an object can only change motion or accelerate by adding external force to act on it.

A girl throws a pebble into a deep well at 4.0 m/s (downward). It hits the water in 2.0 s. How far below the ground is the water
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

  • 27.6 m
  • 13.8 m/s

Explanation:

(b) The initial velocity is added to that due to acceleration by gravity. The velocity is increased linearly by gravity at the rate of 9.8 m/s². The average velocity of the pebble will be its velocity halfway through the 2-second time period.* That is, it will be ...

  4 m/s + (9.8 m/s²)(2 s)/2 = 13.8 m/s . . . . average velocity

__

(a) The distance covered in 2 seconds at an average velocity of 13.8 m/s is ...

  d = vt

  d = (13.8 m/s)(2 s) = 27.6 m

The water is about 27.6 m below ground.

_____

* We have chosen to make use of the fact that the velocity curve is linear, so the average velocity is half the sum of initial and final velocities:

  vAvg = (vInit + vFinal)/2 = (vInit + (vInit +at))/2 = vInit +at/2

__

If you work this in a straightforward way, you would find distance as the integral of velocity, then find average velocity from the distance and time.

  \displaystyle d=\int_0^t{(v_0+at)}\,dt=v_0t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=t\left(v_0+a\dfrac{t}{2}\right)\\\\v_{avg}=\dfrac{d}{t}=v_0+a\dfrac{t}{2}\qquad\text{the formula we started with}

Consider a 7 m stretched string that is clamped at both ends. What is the longest wavelength standing wave that it can support (
user100 [1]

A vibrating stretched string has nodes or fixed points at each end. The string will vibrate in its fundamental frequency with just one anti node in the middle - this gives half a wave.

l=\frac{\lambda }{2}

Rearranging for the wavelength

\lambda=2l

\lambda =2(7)

\lambda = 14m

Therefore the longest wavelength standing wave that it can support is 14m

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles
Anna007 [38]

Question

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles  travelled in a straight line and some were deflected at different angles.

Which statement best describes what Rutherford concluded from the motion of the particles?

A) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by electrons.

B) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by electrons.

C) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

D) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.    

Answer:

 

The right answer is C)    

Explanation:

In the experiment described above, a piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Alpha particles <em>α</em> were used because, if the nucleus was positive, then it would deflect the positive particles. The principles of physics posit that electric charges of the same orientation repel.  

So most as expected some of the alpha particles went right through meaning that the gold atoms comprised mostly empty space except the areas that were with a dense population of positive charges. This area became known as the "nucleus".  

Due to the presence of the positive charges in the nucleus, some particles had their paths bent at large angles others were deflected backwards.

Cheers!
