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
6 0

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.

8. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott
nasty-shy [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the <u>bottle.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the speed of ball after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is given by:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m_1,u_1\text{ and }v_1 are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of ball.

m_2,u_2\text{ and }v_2 are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of bottle.

We are given:

m_1=0.4kg\\u_1=18m/s\\v_1=?m/s\\m_2=0.2kg\\u_2=0m/s\\v_2=25m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(0.4\times 18)+(0.2\times 0)=(0.4\times v_1)+(0.2\times 25)\\\\v_1=5.5m/s

Hence, the ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.

How can pressure impact the alignment of minerals within the rock
Sloan [31]
Metamorphism occurs because some minerals are stable only under certain conditions of pressure and temperature. When pressure and temperature change, chemical reactions occur to cause the minerals in the rock to change to an assemblage that is stable at the new pressure and temperature conditions.

describe an experiment to show how the frequency of a note emitted by a vibrating string depends on the tension of the string
mart [117]
Easy ! 

Take any musical instrument with strings ... a violin, a guitar, etc.

The length of the vibrating part of the strings doesn't change ...
it's the distance from the 'bridge' to the 'nut'.

Pluck any string.  Then, slightly twist the tuning peg for that string,
and pluck the string again.

Twisting the peg only changed the string's tension; the length
couldn't change.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
tighter, then your second pluck had a higher pitch than your first one.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
looser, then your second pluck had a lower pitch than the first one.

An object on earth weighs 120 N. What is it’s mass ?
inna [77]
Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

120 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Mass = (120 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

Mass = 12.24 kg  (B)

Calculate how much work is required to launch a spacecraft of mass m from the surface of the earth (mass mE, radius RE) and plac
mylen [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy, through the balance between the work done and its respective transformation from the gravitational potential energy.

Mathematically the conservation of these two energies can be given through

W = U_f - U_i

Where,

W = Work

U_f = Final gravitational Potential energy

U_i = Initial gravitational Potential energy

When the spacecraft of mass m is on the surface of the earth then the energy possessed by it

U_i = \frac{-GMm}{R}

Where

M = mass of earth

m = Mass of spacecraft

R = Radius of earth

Let the spacecraft is now in an orbit whose attitude is R_{orbit} \approx R then the energy possessed by the spacecraft is

U_f = \frac{-GMm}{2R}

Work needed to put it in orbit is the difference between the above two

W = U_f - U_i

W = -GMm (\frac{1}{2R}-\frac{1}{R})

Therefore the work required to launch a spacecraft from the surface of the Eart andplace it ina circularlow earth orbit is

W = \frac{GMm}{2R}
