No, it is not possible. For a stationary wave, two identical waves should travel in opposite direction along a string.

Can an object that has balanced forces acting on it be standing still?

If there are any forces acting on a stationary object, then they must be balanced, or it would no longer remain stationary.It is also possible that the object is already moving. In the forces are balanced on a moving object, the object would continue moving at the same speed and direction (velocity) that it already had.


Is it possible for an object moving in constant velocity having varying speed justify your answer?

No, it isn't possible. Velocity specifies both speed and direction; if velocity doesn't change, that means that neither the speed nor the direction change.


How is it possible that a dumper can still tip over when travelling on a gentle gradient even if it is not overloaded and not being driven at excessive speed?

wheel could sink


Can an object have a constant spped and velocity at the same time?

Velocity is a vector quantity. That means it has direction and magnitude. Speed is a scalar quantity, it only has magnitude. It is possible to have constant speed and constant velocity but it is also possible to have constant speed but changing velocity if the object is changing direction.


Why are longitudinal wave not polarized?

Polarisation is specially related to limiting the vibrations in only one direction or a plane. This is possible in case of transverse waves. But in case of longitudinal only one direction of propagation ie to and fro is possible. So no chance of having the phenomenon of polarisation with longitudinal waves.

It it possible for an object to be sationary while under acceleration?

"Stationary" means zero speed. The object's speed is not changing, and the direction of the speed is obviously also not changing.By definition then, acceleration is zero.


Is it possible to make identical organisms?

Absolutely! Bacteria that divide are identical.


Is it possible that two people could have the same dna?

It is possible for identical twins to have identical DNA, but very often that is not the case.

No, it is not possible. It is possible. But it would be the rarest rare could ever get. It would be very rare.

When will a time machine be built?

Travelling forward in time - Never. Because if it were to possible, the travellers would surely travel back in time and we would know about it. However, travelling forward in time is possible. I do it every night when I sleep!


If time travel was possible could you in the distant future move several light years in a space by traveling close to the speed of light and than traveling backwards through time at regular intervals?

Indeed, time travel, and travelling faster than the speed of light, are intimately related in the Special Theory of Relativity. Looking at the situation from the other side, if it were possible to travel faster than light, then from some point of view, you would be travelling backwards in time. For more details, read about the definition of "simultaneity" in the Special Theory of Relativity.Probably none of the two is possible - travelling backwards in time, and travelling faster than light.Indeed, time travel, and travelling faster than the speed of light, are intimately related in the Special Theory of Relativity.

Yes.


Is changing direction really the same as changing speed?

No. It is possible to change direction without changing speed. However, it is not possible to change direction without changing velocity.


Is it possible that a physical quantity has direction but it is a scaler?

If a direction is relevant, then it is NOT a scalar, but a vector.
