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

Physics

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.

Each croquet ball in a set has a mass of 0.53 kg. The green ball, traveling at 14.4 m/s, strikes the blue ball, which is at rest
faust18 [17]

a) 14.4 m/s

The problem can be solved by using the law of conservation of total momentum; in  fact, the total initial momentum must be equal to the final total momentum:

p_i = p_f

So we have:

m_g u_g + m_b u_b = m_g v_g + m_b v_b (1)

where

m_b = m_g = m = 0.53 kg is the mass of each ball

u_g = 14.4 m/s is the initial velocity of the green ball

u_b = 0 is the initial velocity of the blue ball

v_g=0 is the final velocity of the green ball

v_b is the final velocity of the blue ball

Simplifying the mass in the equation and solving for v_b, we find

v_b = u_g = 14.4 m/s

b) 12.0 m/s

This time, the green ball continues moving after the collision at

v_g = 2.4 m/s

So the equation (1) becomes

u_g = v_g + v_b

And solving for v_b we find

v_b = u_g - v_g = 14.4 m/s-2.4 m/s=12.0 m/s

c) 13.5 m/s

This time, the green ball continues moving after the collision at

v_g = 0.9 m/s

So the equation (1) becomes

u_g = v_g + v_b

And solving for v_b we find

v_b = u_g - v_g = 14.4 m/s-0.9 m/s=13.5 m/s

Which of the following terms refers to the shortest length from a starting
shutvik [7]

Answer:

A) Distance

Explanation:

The shortest distance that is represented as the measurement from one point to another is called distance.

It should not be confused with displacement as it represents the sum of the distances travelled by a body or person.

Current is the movement of negative charges called protons.<br> A. True<br> B. False
Kruka [31]

Answer: Option B) False

Explanation:

Current is the movement of negative charges called electrons. Protons, neutrons and electrons are the three subatomic particles that make up particles of the conductors that transmit current, however electrons are negatively charged and their gain or loss determines movement of electric current.

Thus, the statement is false

WhAT is the change IN THE entropy of 2.0kg of h2o molecules when transform at a constant pressure of 1 atm from water at 100 deg
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The entropy change is 45.2 kJ/K.

Explanation:

mass of water at 100 C = 2 kg

Latent heat of vaporization, L = 2260 kJ/kg

Heat is

H = m L

H = 2 x 2260 = 4520 kJ

Entropy is given by

S = H/T = 4520/100 = 45.2 kJ/K
