If the object's <em>velocity is constant</em> ... (it's speed isn't changing AND it's moving in a straight line) ... then the net force on the object is zero.<em> (D)</em>
Either there are no forces at all acting on the object, OR there are forces on it but they're 'balanced' ... when you add up all of their sizes and directions, they just exactly cancel each other out, and they have the SAME EFFECT on the object as if there were no forces at all.
Answer:
vₐ = v_c
Explanation:
To calculate the escape velocity let's use the conservation of energy
starting point. On the surface of the planet
Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v_c² - G Mm / R
final point. At a very distant point
Em_f = U = - G Mm / R₂
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ m v_c² - G Mm / R = - G Mm / R₂
v_c² = 2 G M (1 /R - 1 /R₂)
if we consider the speed so that it reaches an infinite position R₂ = ∞
v_c =
now indicates that the mass and radius of the planet changes slightly
M ’= M + ΔM = M (
)
R ’= R + ΔR = R (
)
we substitute
vₐ =
let's use a serial expansion
√(1 ±x) = 1 ± ½ x +…
we substitute
vₐ = v_ c (
)
we make the product and keep the terms linear
vₐ = v_c
The question is poor. Light doesn't refract on its way THROUGH anything. It refracts at the boundary BETWEEN two different media. The effect is greatest where the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media is greatest. On your list, that would be at the boundary between air or space and glass.
Answer:
D) The ball exerts a force on the wall and the wall exerts a force back.
Explanation:
Newton's third law of motion states that:
"When an object A exerts a force on another object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A"
In this problem, we can identify (for instance) object A with tha ball and object B with the wall. Therefore, if we apply Newton's third law, we get:
The ball (object A) exerts a force on the wall (object B), therefore the wall (object B) exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball (object A). So, option D is the correct one.
