Here are the correct answers to your questions:
-
They each have a displacement of 0 miles.
- Both postal workers return to the post office, meaning their displacement (change in position) is zero.
-
They have the same speed but different velocities.
- Both are walking at 1.25 miles per hour, but in different directions.
-
He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes.
- The graph shows the person moving away from home (speeding up) in the first 10 minutes and then returning to home (slowing down) in the last segment.
-
The object remains still.
- A horizontal line on a position-time graph indicates that the position is constant over time, meaning the object is not moving.
-
a force applied in the opposite direction with a greater magnitude at the same time.
- This would result in a net force acting against the object's motion, preventing it from moving.
-
the force needed to lift a chair.
- Lifting a chair typically requires more force than lifting lighter objects like a hairbrush or pencil.
-
Yes, this is an example of a force because a force is a push or pull.
- The person pushing the box exerts a force, regardless of whether the box moves.
-
a gust of wind blowing a leaf away.
- This is an example of a non-contact force (air pressure and wind) changing an object's speed.
-
A force acting in the direction of the object’s motion is removed from the object.
- If opposition to the force is removed, the object's momentum would increase.
-
An unbalanced force stops your foot but does not act on the rest of your body.
- The inertia of the body continues to move forward while the foot stops.
-
The bowler should choose a ball with less mass or throw the ball with more force.
- According to Newton's second law, to increase acceleration, you can either decrease mass or increase the applied force.
-
a baseball player swinging a bat and hitting a baseball, causing the bat to shatter.
- This situation demonstrates a physical change due to the reactive force.
-
The hammer and the wall exert forces on each other that are equal in magnitude but in opposite directions.
- This reflects Newton's third law of motion.
