Answer:

b

Explanation:

a Gravity pulls the rock toward the center of Earth.

b The forces between you and the rock are balanced.

c The force of your push is greater than the opposing force.

d There is no friction to help you move the object.

The correct answer would be that <u>the forces between you and the rock are balanced.</u>

<em>In order to get the rock rolling, both the frictional force between the rock and the surface on which it stands as well as the gravitational force acting on its mass must be exceeded. If the applied force balances these forces or falls short, the rock will not move.</em>

The correct option is b.

What is the speed of a truck traveling 10km in 10 minutes
user100 [1]

Answer: 58.8235 km/h

speed = distance/time

the distance is 10 km

the time is 10 minutes

the unit is not correct, so we first change minute to hour

so 10/60 is 0.166667, rounded to 0.17.

10 km/ 0.17 hours =

Torque can be best described as which of the following? Give an example of both a force and a torque and explain why in a couple
kicyunya [14]

Answer: rotational force

Explanation:

Torque is the twisting force which cause rotation and the axis of rotation is the point at which the object rotates.

Torque is a rotational force as it leads to the rotation of an object about an axis. Force simply means a pull or push. When an unbalanced ball acts on a force, the ball, the ball will be moved towards the linear motion.

Then, the unbalanced force that is acting in the ball produces torque which causes the ball's rotational motion.

You and some friends decide to take a canoe trip down the Wood River. The stretch of river you are traveling flows at a roughly
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

t= 1.2 hours

Explanation:

Define first di distance between the points, so

\bar{x}_{canoe}=2*(2+3)=10

\bar{x}_{water}=2*2=4

The distance is

d= \bar{x}_{canoe}- \bar{x}_{water}

d= 10-4 = 6miles

t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{6}{2+3}

t= 1.2 hours

If your speed changes from 10 km/h to 6 km/h, you have a(n) ______ acceleration.
Delicious77 [7]

If your speed changes from 10 km/h to 6 km/h then
you have an acceleration. 

Whether it's a positive or negative one completely depends
on which direction you decided to call the positive direction,
when you started considering your speed and its changes.

If you decided to call the direction in which you're traveling
the positive direction, then a decrease in your speed is a
negative acceleration. 

But you could just as easily have said that you're traveling
in the negative direction.  If you did that, then a decrease in
your speed would be a positive acceleration.

It's completely up to you, and how you define things.
