Answer:

False

Explanation:

As per Newton's first law of motion, an object will not change its state of motion until an external unbalanced force is applied on it.

If a balanced force is applied on an object there will be no change in state of motion. Take for example a box. One person moves it to left with force F and another person moves it to the right with same force F. The box will not move. But if the two forces are not equal then a net force will be acting on the box and it will move and its direction will be changed.

The statement is false. Balanced forces can NOT change the speed OR direction of an object's motion. (See Newton's #1 law of motion.)

A ball of mass 0.120 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.820 m. W

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1.0752 kgm/s

Explanation:

Considering when the drop was dropped from rest from a height,

mass of the ball, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = - 1.25 m

the initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

$V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh$

Substituting the values,

$V^{2} = 0^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(-1.25 m)$

$V^{2} = 24.5 m/s$

$V = \sqrt{24.5} \ m/s$

$V = 4.95 \ m/s$

V = ± 4.95 m/s

V = - 4.95 m/s

Since the ball is moving downward, the final velocity of the ball when it hits the floor is V = - 4.95 m/s

Considering when the ball rebounds from the floor,

assume the mass of the ball still remain, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = 0.820 m

the final velocity, v = 0 m/s

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

$V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh$

Substituting the values,

$0^{2} = U^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(0.820 m)$

$0 = U^{2} - 16.072 m/s$

$U^{2} = 16.072 m/s$

$U = \sqrt{16.072} \ m/s$

U = ± 4.01 m/s

U = + 4.01 m/s

Since the ball is moving upward, the initial velocity of the ball from the bounce from the floor is U = + 4.01 m/s

From Newton's second law of motion, applied force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum.

$F = \frac{mv - mu}{t}$

$F.t = m(v - u)$

⇒ Impulse = Change in momentum

To calculate the impulse, the moment before the ball hits the ground will be the initial momentum while the moment the ball rebounces will be the final velocity,

∴ F.t = 0.120 kg(4.01 m/s - (-4.95 m/s) )

F.t = 0.120 kg(4.01 m/s + 4.95 m/s) )

F.t = 0.120 kg × 8.96 m/s

Impulse = 1.0752 kgm/s

The impulse given to the ball by the floor is 1.0752 kgm/s

5.0 Points The blue color of the sky is the result of

mina [271]

The blue color of the sky is the result of scattering. The answer is letter B. it is specifically called the Rayleigh scattering. This blue color is the result of the incoming rays of the Sun into the earth’s atmosphere. It has he lowest wavelength which as we all see is the blue spectrum of light.

A piece of transparent material that is used to focus light and form a image

Soloha48 [4]

Convex Lenses are used to focus light and form a image. They are transparent.

They are one type of lenses. Different type of lenses are used to focus light differently. The basic lenses are concave and convex. Convex lenses converge light falling on it whereas concave lenses diverge light falling on it.

A meter stick is suspended vertically at a pivot point 22 cm from the top end. It is rotated on the pivot until it is horizontal

suter [353]

Answer:

5.82812 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Length of meter stick = 1 m = 100 cm

$m_c$ = The center of mass of the stick = $\frac{L}{2}-0.22=0.5-0.22=0.28\ m$

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

$I=I_c+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mL^2}{12}+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{m1^2}{12}+m0.28^2\\\Rightarrow I=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)$

As the energy in the system is conserved

$mgh=I\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow mgh=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow gh=(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.81\times 0.28}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5.82812\ rad/s$

The maximum angular velocity is 5.82812 rad/s
