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.

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.


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.


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.


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.

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.


Why do I see red when I look at certain objects or under certain circumstances?

When you see red when looking at certain objects or under certain circumstances, it is because of the way light is absorbed and reflected by those objects. The color red is perceived when an object reflects light in the red wavelength range, while absorbing other wavelengths. This causes our eyes to interpret the object as red.

What happens to the motion of an object if two unequal forces act on it in opposite directions?

Under these circumstances, the object will be pulled/pushed in the direction the stronger force is acting. (The stronger force overcomes the weaker one.)
