Answer:
20 meters.
Explanation:
In the graph, the x-axis (the horizontal axis) represents the time, while the y-axis (the vertical axis) represents the distance.
If we want to find the distance covered in the first T seconds, you need to find the value T in the horizontal axis.
Once you find it, we draw a vertical line, in the point where this vertical line touches the graph, we now draw a horizontal line. This horizontal line will intersect the y-axis in a given value. That value is the total distance travelled by the time T.
In this case, we want to find the total distance that David ran in the first 4 seconds.
Then we need to find the value 4 seconds in the horizontal axis. Now we perform the above steps, and we will find that the correspondent y-value is 20.
This means that in the first 4 seconds, David ran a distance of 20 meters.
No. The correct answer is A.
They are not the same event in that they occur in different places and times in most frames of reference. In the photon's frame they are not separated in either space nor time because photons don't experience time and at least mathematically all points on the spacetime manifold are the same point to a photon. What the zero spacetime interval can tell us though, is that the events are connected by a light beam (light-like separation). There is as much time between the events as there is space and one event can conceptually cause the other. They are on the cusp between time-like and space-like events.
Answer:
Yes, a force is require to set an object in motion.
Explanation:
- In space, even if you feel weightless, you are subject to motion. If you are orbiting the Earth, you are under the constant influence of Earth having a free-fall acceleration equal to the centripetal acceleration.
- To disturb this orbital motion, an external force is required.
- According to Newton's laws of motion, a force is required to change the state of the rest of a body or to change the velocity or direction if it is moving with uniform velocity along a straight line.
- Whenever there is a change in velocity or direction of a body there is a force acting on it.
Fnet = m x a
= 65kg x 0.3m/s^2
= 19.5N
This is assuming that there is no friction or other external forces!
