What causes an object to stay ar rest

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Inertia is the tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion. Inertia causes a moving object to stay in motion at the same velocity (speed and direction) unless a force acts on it to change its speed or direction. It also causes an object at rest to stay at rest.

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

0.6375 m/s

Explanation:

Let x be the distance of the man from the building

from the figure attached

initially the value of x=12

Given:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-1.7m/s$

where the negative sign depicts that the distance of the man from the building is decreasing.

Now, Let The length of the shadow be = y

we have to calculate $\frac{dy}{dt}$ when x=4

from the similar triangles

we have,

$\frac{2}{12-x}=\frac{y}{12}$

$y=\frac{24}{12-x}$

Differentiating with respect to time 't' we get

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{24}{12-x}^2\frac{-dx}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{24}{12-x}^2\frac{dx}{dt}$

Now for x = 4, and $\frac{dx}{dt}=-1.7m/s$ we have,

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{24}{12-4}^2\times (-1.7)$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-0.6375m/s$

<u>here, the negative sign depicts the decrease in length and in the question it is asked the decreasing rate thus, the answer is </u><u>0.6375m/s</u>

A brick falls from a wall to the ground 3.42 m below. How much time will it take to

ddd [48]

Answer:

The time taken by the brick to hit the ground, t = 0.84 s

Explanation:

Given that,

A brick falls from a height, h = 3.42 m

The initial velocity of the brick is zero.

Since the brick is under free-falling. The time equation of a free-falling body when the displacement is given is

t = $\sqrt{2h/g}$

where,

h - height from surface in meters

g - acceleration due to gravity

on substituting the values in the above equation,

t = $\sqrt{2X3.14/9.8}$

= 0.84 s

Hence, time taken by the brick to hit the ground is t = 0.84 s

what is the force if a block of wood with mass 20 kg slides along a frictionless surface at 2 m/s squared

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass of object and a is the acceleration.

Since there is no friction, substituting 20 Kg for m and 2 m/s squared for a then we obtain

F=20*2=40 N
