What is the tendency of a moving object when no forces act on it?
To keep moving in a straight line. This is rather hard to show because the gravitational pull of the Earth is hard to escape without a rocket.
What is an example of an object moving at constant speed and constant velocity?
Photon or rather light
What is the ability to stay at rest or to keep moving?
INERTIA. This is not an 'ability', but rather a PROPERTY of Matter.- Newtons First Law, "inertia", the propety of matter defined by a still object's tendency to stay at rest, and a moving object's tendency to keep moving at the same velocity.
Why there is no current established in a conductor in the absence of electric field although a large number of free electron are moving with high speed?
There can be a large number of free electrons moving at a high speed, with no net current, if the electrons are all moving at random. Random motions are a form a heat, rather than current. You only have a current when significant numbers of electrons are moving in the same direction.
What is best determined by applying the principles of relativity and uncertainty rather than Newtonian physics?
the momentum of an pbject moving at close to the speed of light- Apex :)
Would the moon stop moving if gravity did not pull on it?
No. Rather the moon would shoot out into space in a straight line.
What is the tendency of a moving object when no forces act on it?
To keep moving in a straight line. This is rather hard to show because the gravitational pull of the Earth is hard to escape without a rocket.
What causes global winds to curve rather than move straight?
The result of Earth's rotation. Air heads into low pressure system center and out of high pressure system.
Highway hypnosis is related to what?
Drowsy driving, driving with a fixed stare rather than moving your eyes, and driving on a straight road for an extended period of time.
What is a global citezen?
They are people who place their identity as belonging to a global community rather than that of a particular place or nation
Why you use orbit raising procedure to move to other planets or satellite rather than moving straight?
It is basically used to save fuel, using the planet's gravitational force as a slingshot to gain speed.
What does a Robinson map accurately show?
A Robinson map is a form of projection of the world map in which the whole world is illustrated as a single flat image. The poles are shown as straight lines rather than as points. These maps more accurately show the land to water proportions at high latitudes.
Is xavier Taylor swartz gay?
No he is not, he is rather straight
What makes global winds curve rather than move in straight lines?
That's the result of the spinning of the Earth. If the Earth didn't spin, then air would head directly into the center of low pressure, and directly out of the center of high pressure.
What is enhanced global warming?
There's enhanced greenhouse effect, rather than enhanced global warming. See the related question below.
What is the Cyclical Theory social change?
cyclical theory sees society, culture and civilization moving in cycles rather than going on a straight line. some civilization which experience progress and glory before slowly regressed(and vice versa)
Is Hungary more equal or unequal in inequality?
On a global scale it's rather equal.
