What does newton's first law describes​

Physics

dezoksy [38]2 years ago

Earlier, we stated Newton's first law as “A body at rest remains at rest or, if in motion, remains in motion at constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.” It can also be stated as “Every body remains in its state of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces
For example-A stationary object with no outside force will not move. With no outside forces, a moving object will not stop. An astronaut who has their screwdriver knocked into space will see the screwdriver continue on at the same speed and direction forever.

A 4.5 kg mass is accelerated at 40 m/s/s what is the force that was applied
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

180 N

Explanation:

Use Newton's second law, F = ma.

m = 4.5 kg; a = 40 m/s/s

F = (4.5)(40) = 180 N

A 100-kg tackler moving at a speed of 2.6 m/s meets head-on (and holds on to) an 92-kg halfback moving at a speed of 5.0 m/s. Pa
DIA [1.3K]

Given that,

Mass of trackler, m₁ = 100 kg

Speed of trackler, u₁ = 2.6 m/s

Mass of halfback, m₂ = 92 kg

Speed of halfback, u₂ = -5 m/s (direction is opposite)

To find,

Mutual speed immediately after the collision.

Solution,

The momentum of the system remains conserved in this case. Let v is the mutual speed after the collision. Using conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{100\times 2.6+92\times (-5)}{(100+92)}\\\\V=-1.04\ m/s

So, the mutual speed immediately after the collision is 1.04 m/s but in opposite direction.

Assume a change at the source of sound reduces the wavelength of a sound wave in air by a factor of 3.
noname [10]

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda ......(1)

(i) Here, the wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3. Equation (1) becomes :

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So, if wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3, then the frequency will increases by a factor of 3.

(ii) It remains the same.
