Which situation is contrary to Newton’s first law of motion?

Physics
1 answer:
Bond [772]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

An object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.

Explanation:

Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion is known as Law of Inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

The inertia of a physical object such as a truck is greatly dependent or influenced by its mass; the higher the quantity of matter in a truck, the greater will be its tendency to continuously remain at rest.

Hence, the situation which is contrary to Newton’s first law of motion is that, an object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.

According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces do not act on it.

Two resistors of 12Ω and 2Ω are connected in parallel to a battery of 4 V. Current through 12Ω resistor will be _____________ an
Alex

Answer:

0.33  Amp

8 Watts

Explanation:

The current through the 12 Ω resistor will be given by Ohm's law:

4 V / 12 Ω = 1/3 Amp ≈ 0.33  Amp

The power dissipated on the 2 Ω resistor can be calculated via the formula: \frac{V^2}{R}  which gives:

4^2 / 2 = 8 Watts

How do hydrogen bonds affect boiling points?
Yuri [45]

Boiling points are raised by hydrogen bonds because they make different molecules desire to "attach" to one another, which requires more energy to do so. In water, for instance, the hydrogen proton is in a state that resembles ionization because the connections between oxygen and hydrogen, while covalent, are strongly polar. The oxygen also receives a partial negative charge. Therefore, hydrogen bonds are formed when the electro-positive H in one molecule is strongly electrostatically attracted to the electro-negative O in nearby molecules. Despite being weak links, they are powerful enough to significantly alter the liquid's characteristics.

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes the egg 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<em>B. 68.6m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion </u>

When a body is left to move in the air with no friction, the motion is ruled only by the force of gravity. The vertical distance a body travels in the air after a time t is .

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

We know the egg takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. The height it was launched from is

\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(3.474)^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=68.54\ m

The closest correct option is

B. 68.6m

The resistivity of gold is at room temperature. A gold wire that is 0.9 mm in diameter and 14 cm long carries a current of 940 m
IgorC [24]

Answer:

0.0360531138247 V/m

Explanation:

\rho = Resistivity of gold = 2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega .m (General value)

I = Current = 940 mA

d = Diameter = 0.9 mm

A = Area = \dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

E = Electric field

Resistivity is given by

\rho=\dfrac{EA}{I}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{\rho I}{A}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 940\times 10^{-3}}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.9\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow E=0.0360531138247\ V/m

The  electric field in the wire is 0.0360531138247 V/m
