An object can be treated as a point
particle if internal motions are not
important and if the object is small in
comparison to the distance it moves.

Nonmetals that can conduct heat and electricity under some circumstances are classified as what?
semiconductors.
How would you use the word circumstance in sentences that kids understand?
under circumstances, yes
How do you use under in a sentence?
I put the big box under the table.She said she felt under the weather, which means she felt sick.Under other circumstances, it might have worked out well.
How much would someone weigh under water?
It depends on the density of the object that weighs one pound, and how much of it is under water. The object will weight 1lb - water density * object volume under water; If the object is on average is less dense the water (i.e. is buoyant), and is allowed to swim, its weight will be 0 because proportion of its volume under water will compensate gravity exactly.
When an object is being stretched it is said to be in?
tension; under a tensile stress ========================
Is there pressure in everything?
No. Under normal circumstances, there is no pressure inside of a solid object.
What situations are modeled by exponential functions?
Some examples include: * Growth of populations, under certain circumstances * Radioactive decay * In quantum physics, the probability of finding a particle at a specific point * The temperature of an object, when it is allowed to cool down * The charge on a capacitor which is allowed to discharge
Under what circumstances can an object moving with an constant speed (uniform magnitude oits velocity) have an acceleration?
When the direction changes. A simple case is an object moving in a circle, at constant speed.
Is wood an opaque object?
Yes it is, if it is thick enough so that no light makes it through. Under ordinary circumstances, wood is opaque.
What is a substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under other circumstances?
A substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under others is called a semiconductor.
What is the smallest particle visible under light microscope?
The smallest particle that can be seen with a light microscope is about 0. 2 microns. If an object is smaller than that, the light's wavelength cannot traverse it causing it to fall out of the visible spectrum.
How do balenced forces affect the speed of an object?
If all of the forces on an object are balanced, then their net effect on the object is the same as if there were no force on it at all. Under those circumstances, its acceleration is zero, meaning that its speed and direction of motion do not change.
If an object is heated what happen to its mass?
The mass stays the same because mass doesn't change(under certain circumstances.)
What is a substance that carries electricity under circumstances but not under other circumstances is called?
A substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under others is called a semiconductor.
Is 110 percent humidity possible?
Yes, but not under normal circumstances. At, or above, 100%, condensation would take place on anything that could act as a nucleus - such as a dust particle in the air.
Under what circumstances does your atom have a - charge?
Under what circumstances does your atom have a negative charge
What does illegitimate?
It means not legitimate. When referring to a person, it means that the person's parents were not married at the time that they were born. Previously, and perhaps still in some places, a person born under those circumstances was placed under considerable legal and social disabilities.
