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.

DochEvi [55]

Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.

To calculate the time that takes Scobie to drive around Earth's equator we need to find the distance, which is given by the equation of a circumference:

$d = 2\pi r$

<em>Where:</em>

r: is the Earth's radius = 6371 km

Then, the distance is:

$d = 2\pi r = 2\pi*6371 km = 40030.2 km$

Now, if we divide the above distance by the speed of the car we can find the time:

$t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{40030.2 km}{160.0 km/h} = 250.2 h*\frac{1 d}{24 h} = 10 d$

Therefore, Scobie will take 10 days to drive around Earth's equator.

John and Linda are arguing about the definition of density. John says the density of an object is proportional to itsmass. Linda

NeX [460]

Answer:

They are both correct.

Explanation:

The density of an object is defined as the ratio of its mass to its volume. This implies that the density of the object is both proportional to the mass and also to the volume of the object. John only mentioned mass which is correct. Linda mentioned the second variable on which density depends which is the volume of the object.

Hence considering the both statements objectively, one can say that they are both correct.

Why are the element from period 2 grouped together

valentinak56 [21]

All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example, every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons. As you move down the table, every row adds an orbital.
