please?? this is due in an hour!
wait ! wrong question ! my bad . that for another test
Your answers for the true/false questions are:
1.) force is a scalar quantity: FALSE
Correct! Force is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
2.) the object on which a force acts is called the system: TRUE
Correct! The object that experiences the force is referred to as the system.
3.) The specific, identifiable cause of a force is called the system: FALSE
Incorrect. The specific, identifiable cause of a force is called the agent, not the system.
4.) A force cannot exist without an agent and a system: TRUE
Correct! A force requires both an agent (the cause) and a system (the object on which the force acts).
5.) A free-body diagram represents forces acting on a system: TRUE
Correct! A free-body diagram illustrates the forces acting on an object or system.
6.) When a force is a push, the force arrows in a free body diagram point towards the particle: TRUE
Correct! When a force is a push, the force arrow in a free-body diagram points away from the particle.
7.) Force and acceleration are related in a linear fashion: TRUE
Correct! According to Newton's second law of motion, force and acceleration have a linear relationship.
8.) A newton is the amount of force applied to a 1 g object that will cause it to have an acceleration of 1 km/s^2: FALSE
Correct! A newton is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a 1 kg object by 1 m/s^2.
9.) The net force on an object is the resultant of the force vectors: TRUE
Correct! The net force on an object is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on it.
10.) Inertia is a force: FALSE
Correct! Inertia is not a force. It is the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.
11.) As the speed of an object moving through a fluid increases, the magnitude of the drag force decreases: FALSE
Correct! As the speed of an object moving through a fluid increases, the magnitude of the drag force generally increases, not decreases.
Sure! Let's go through your answers and explanations.
1.) force is a scalar quantity: *FALSE
Correct! Force is not a scalar quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. It is a vector quantity.
2.) the object on which a force acts is called the system: *TRUE
Correct! The object on which a force acts is known as the system.
3.) The specific, identifiable cause of a force is called the system: *FALSE
Actually, the specific, identifiable cause of a force is called the "agent" or "source" of the force. So, this statement is false.
4.) A force cannot exist without an agent and a system: *TRUE
Correct! A force requires an agent, which exerts the force, and a system, which receives the force.
5.) a free-body diagram represents forces acting on a system: *TRUE
Correct! A free-body diagram is a visual representation that shows all the forces acting on an object or system.
6.) When a force is a push, the force arrows in a free body diagram point towards the particle: *TRUE
Correct! When a force is a push, the force arrows in a free-body diagram point away from the source of the force and towards the particle or object.
7.) Force and acceleration are related in a linear fashion: *TRUE
Correct! According to Newton's second law of motion, force is directly proportional to acceleration when mass is constant. This relationship is linear.
8.) A newton is the amount of force applied to a 1 g object that will cause it to have an acceleration of 1 km/s^2: *FALSE
Incorrect. A newton is defined as the amount of force that when applied to a 1 kilogram mass, produces an acceleration of 1 meter per second squared. So, this statement is false.
9.) the net force on an object is the resultant of the force vectors: *TRUE
Correct! The net force on an object is the vector sum (resultant) of all the individual force vectors acting on it.
10.) Inertia is a force: *FALSE
Correct! Inertia is not a force but rather the property of an object to resist changes in its motion.
11.) As the speed of an object moving through a fluid increases, the magnitude of the drag force decreases: *FALSE
Incorrect. As the speed of an object moving through a fluid increases, the magnitude of the drag force generally increases. So, this statement is false.
Overall, you did a good job! You got 8 out of 11 answers correct. Keep up the good work!
