Answer:

The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.

If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.

What is a disadvantage of shared decision-making?

Snezhnost [94]

The disadvantages of shared decision making are:
Adopting a wrong advice from a member can lead to a big risk to the company and the business.
Further, increased number of advice also confuses the person, about which to follow and which to ignore.
There is also diffusion of responsibility and lowered efficiency.

A body moving with an acceleration 2 m/s?then what is the change in velocity in 4sec.

enot [183]

Answer:

As Per Provided Information

Moving body has 2m/s² acceleration

Time taken by body is 4 second

We are asked to find the 'change in velocity' ( ∆V) by the body.

Formula Used here

$\boxed{\bf{\Delta \: V \: = acceleration \: \times time \:}}$

Substituting the given value

$\sf\longrightarrow\Delta\:V \: = 2 \times 4 \\ \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow\Delta\:V \: =8m {s}^{ - 1}$

Therefore,

Change in velocity is 8 m/s
