If an object is not moving are the forces acting on it balanced? Yes or no?why?

Physics
1 answer:
xxMikexx [17]3 years ago
6 0

This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:

Net Force = (mass) x (zero)

or  Net Force = (zero) .

"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.

So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

2000years

Explanation:

We will either convert the distance to centimeters or speed to meters/second.

Converting distance to centimeters: 100 meters= 100*100centimeters =10000centimeters.

time=distance/speed

t=10000/5=2000 years

The sun has sufficient hydrogen to continue fusing into helium for how much longer?
vichka [17]

Answer:

4500 million years

Explanation:

The Sun shines thanks to the thermonuclear conversion of hydrogen to helium inside. It is currently 4,500 million years old and has reservations for a similar period of time. When this fuel is exhausted in the central region, the heart of the Sun, constituted of helium and in an inert state, will contract and put more external fuel reserves within reach of the star, with which this mass of helium will grow over time . When that happens, the Sun will evolve into a giant star that will reach the orbit of Mars and, therefore, destroy the planet Earth.

As the helium heart mass increases so do the central density and temperature. When it reaches 100 million degrees, helium fuses thermonuclearly with itself and becomes a mixture of carbon and oxygen.

When the helium runs out in the center, the previous operation is reproduced approximately. The carbon / oxygen heart contracts and the helium and hydrogen of the surrounding layers are placed within the reach of thermonuclear combustion. The difference is that this double combustion is unstable and the density is so high that electrons can, alone, stabilize the heart of carbon and oxygen. The end result is that the outer layers, which originate a planetary nebula, are expelled, and the old thermonuclear reactor becomes visible, which becomes a white dwarf that slowly cools like the embers of a fire over billions of millions. of years.

A student fires a cannonball diagonally with an initial speed of 31m/s. Neglect drag and the initial height of the cannonball. W
horsena [70]

Answer:

The cannons total flight time is 2.23seconds

Explanation:

A ball fired diagonally is fired at an angle of 45° to the horizontal. The motion of the fired ball is a projectile motion. A projectile is a motion in which an object fired into space with an initial velocity U is allowed to fall freely under the influence of gravitational force.

To total time of flight T of the cannon ball can be expressed as;

T = 2Usin(theta)/g where;

U is the initial velocity or speed of the ball = 31m/s

theta is the angle that the ball make with the horizontal = 45°

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Substituting the given datas into the formula we have;

T = 31sin45°/9.81

T = 31×0.7071/9.81

T = 21.92/9.81

T = 2.23seconds

a wire carrying 1.5 A passes through a 48 mT magnetic field the wire is peremndicular to the field and makes a quarter circle tu
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wire is in the form of an arc of the size of a quarter of a circle. The distance between its two end

=√2 x 21 cm

= 29.7 cm

= 29.7 x 10⁻² m

Force on the arc in the magnetic field will be same as the straight line meeting its two ends.

Force = BIL

= 48 x10⁻³ x  1.5 x 29.7 x 10⁻²

= 2138.4 x 10⁻⁵ N.
