An object is at rest. There are several forces acting on the object, but the net force is zero. If all the

It would not. Imagine four forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (e.g. north, east, south, and west). If these forces were to double in magnitude they would still have the same magnitude, meaning the net force is still equal to zero.

1) How is density different than mass?

elixir [45]

Mass is a measure of how much matter there is within an object, typically given in grams. Mass is not affected by gravity, so a given object would have the same mass on earth as in outer space. Density is the amount of mass in an object per a certain amount of volume

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.

Answer:

Polarization occurs when an electric field distorts the negative cloud of electrons around positive atomic nuclei in a direction opposite the field. Polarization P in its quantitative meaning is the amount of dipole moment p per unit volume V of a polarized material, P = p/V.
