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.

The positions of four objects as a function of time are shown
KengaRu [80]

There is no movement in line C and the greatest velocity occurs at line D. The answers are:

1. 0.5 m/s

2. 0.25 m/s

3. 14m and -2m

4. -1 m/s

<h3>What is Position - time Graph ?</h3>

Position time graph is the graph of distance or displacement against time. The slope of the graph is velocity.

The given positions of four objects as a function of time are shown

on the graph to the right.

1.) The velocity of object A will be the slope m of the line A.

Slope m = Δx / Δt

m = (4 - 0) / (8 - 0)

m = 4 / 8

m = 0.5 m/s

Velocity at A = 0.5 m/s

2.) The average velocity of object B will be the slope m of the line B.

Slope m = Δx / Δt

m = (6 - 4) / (8 - 0)

m = 2 / 8

m = 0.25 m/s

The average velocity of object B is 0.25s

3.) The object moved a total distance during the first eight seconds will be 4m for A, 2m for B, and 8m for D

Total distance = 4 + 2 + 8 = 14m

It’s net displacement during the same time will be 2. That is,

Displacement = 8 - 6 = -2m

4.) The greatest speed occurred at line D. The velocity of the object moving at the greatest speed will be the slope of the line D

V = -Δx / Δt

V = -8/8

V = -1 m/s

Therefore, there is no movement in line C and the greatest velocity occurs at line D.

Ron fills a beaker with glycerin (n = 1.473) to a depth of 5.0 cm. if he looks straight down through the glycerin surface, he wi
Tju [1.3M]

By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation

\frac{\mu_1}{h_o} = \frac{\mu_2}{h_i}

here we know that

\mu_1 = 1.473

h_o = 5 cm

\mu_2 = 1

now by above formula

\frac{1.473}{5} = \frac{1}{h_i}

h_i = 3.39 cm

so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm

Which will result in a greater increase in kinetic energy, doubling the velocity or doubling the mass.
Naddik [55]
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. It is calculated by 1/2mv², where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity.
Therefore, kinetic energy is dependent on both mass of the body and the velocity. An increase in mass increases the kinetic energy, an increase in velocity also increases kinetic energy of the body. Thus, doubling the mass and doubling the velocity will both increase the kinetic energy of the body.
