The correct answer to the question is : D) Be moving at a constant velocity.

EXPLANATION:

As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be at state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on it.

Hence, it is the unbalanced force which changes the state of rest or motion of a body. Balanced force is responsible for keeping the body to be either in static equilibrium or in dynamic equilibrium.

As per the options given in the question, the last one is true for an object under balanced forces.

A sled is moving down a steep hill. The mass of the sled is 50 kg and the net force acting on it is 20 N. What must be done to f

amid [387]

You need to first measure the angle of descent, i.e. the angle the hill makes with the ground. Then identify the forces acting on the sled, split them up into horizontal and vertical components, or into components that are parallel and perpendicular to the hill, and use Newton's second law to determine the components of the sled's acceleration vector.

There are at least 2 forces acting on the sled:

• its weight, pointing downward with magnitude W = m g

• the normal force, pointing perpendicular to the hill and away from the ground with mag. N

The question doesn't specify, but there might also be friction to consider, indicated in the attachment by the vector F pointing parallel to the slope of the hill and opposing the direction of the sled's motion with mag. F.

Splitting up the forces into parallel/perpendicular components is less work. By Newton's second law, the net force (denoted with ∑ or "sigma" here) in a particular direction is equal to the mass of the sled times its acceleration in that direction:

∑ (//) = W (//) = m a (//)

∑ (⟂) = W (⟂) + N = m a (⟂)

where, for instance, W (//) denotes the component of the sled's weight in the direction parallel to the hill, while a (⟂) denotes the component of the sled's acceleration perpendicular to the hill. If there is friction, you need to add -F to the first equation.

If the hill makes an angle of θ with flat ground, then W makes the same angle with the hill so that

W (//) = -m g sin(θ)

W (⟂) = -m g cos(θ)

So we have

-m g sin(θ) = m a (//) → a (//) = -g sin(θ)

-m g cos(θ) + N = m a (⟂) → a (⟂) = 0

where the last equality follows from the fact that the normal force exactly opposes the perpendicular component of the weight. This is because the sled is moving along the slope of the hill, and not into the air or into the ground.

Then the acceleration vector is

a = a (//)

with magnitude

||a|| = a = g sin(θ).

Why is the meteor shower is best observed after midnight?

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

At dawn your location on earth is pointed straight in the direction of the Earth's travel in its orbit. Between midnight and dawn you are moving head-on through the location of the meteors in space, which means that you will, on average, observe more of them.

It takes brooke 10minutes to run 1 mile what is her speed in miles per minutes

hjlf

If you divide miles by minutes, the answer will have units of
miles per minute, which is exactly what you want.

(1 mile) / (10 minutes) = 1/10 mile/minute = 0.1 mile per minute

8. The fact that voltage can be created by exerting force on a crystal is used in which type of sensor?

AfilCa [17]

Option C

The fact that voltage can be created by exerting force on a crystal is used in Knock sensor

Explanation:

Any knock to an engine exhibits as a little shake that is distinguished by the knock sensor. This sensor acts by altering the fluctuation to an electrical sign, which is later transferred to the processor mastering the ignition system.

There the variation in quake to the voltage sign modifies the timing improvements on the kindling. The knock sensor is placed on the engine base, cylinder cap or consumption manifold. This is because its purpose is to sense fluctuations affected by engine knock or explosion.
