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.

What is the ratio of thicknesses of crown glass and water that would contain the same number of wavelengths of light?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

the thickness of the glass divided by thickness of water is going to be 1.333 divided by 1.52, which is 0.877. So, the height of this glass, in order to have the same number of wavelengths as in water, the height of the glass will be 0.877 times the height of the water, and so it will be smaller.

An object of mass 2kg is on an incline where there is an applied force of 15N. The

seraphim [82]

a) See free-body diagram in attachment

b) The acceleration is $2.46 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The free-body diagram of an object is a diagram representing all the forces acting on the object. Each force is represented by a vector of length proportional to the magnitude of the force, pointing in the same direction as the force.

The free-body diagram for this object is shown in the figure in attachment.

There are three forces acting on the object:

The weight of the object, labelled as $mg$ (where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity), acting downward
The applied force, $F_a$ , acting up along the plane
The force of friction, $F_f$ , acting down along the plane

In order to find the acceleration of the object, we need to write the equation of the forces acting along the direction parallel to the incline. We have:

$F_a - F_f - mg sin \theta = ma$
