Wrong. An object maintains a constant velocity unless there is a change in mass, applied force, air resistance or some other external force.

If a net torque is applied to an object that object will experience which of the following a constant angular speed angular acceleration or an increasing moment of inertia?

angular acceleration


How do you find an objects acceleration from its mass and the force acting on it?

Acceleration= total force / mass. Total force might be applied force minus frictional force, or applied force minus air resistance etc.


Plot the graph of force vs acceleration?

Acceleration is directly proportional to applied force.  When acceleration increases, force also increases.  If the force is tripled, the acceleration will also be tripled.  Note that the mass must remain constant...


An object that is thrown vertically upward will return to its original position with the same speed as it had initially if air resistance is negligible if air resistance is appreciable?

As an object rises WITH air resistance, the acceleration is larger in size than g, because both gravity and air resistance will be causing a downward acceleration. As the object FALLS with air resistance, the acceleration will be smaller in size than g, because gravity and resistance will be opposing each other. Because of the smaller acceleration being applied over the same distance, the return speed will be slower than the launch speed.


What would be the situation if mass were added to or lost from a system while a constant force was being applied to the system?

Since Force = Mass x Acceleration If force is held constant and one varies the mass then the acceleration will vary according to the equation: Acceleration = Force / Mass As a result, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. In other words, if one increases the mass of the object, the acceleration of the object will decrease proportionally. Similarly, if one decreases the mass of the object, the acceleration will increase proportionally.

What will the mass and acceleration produce if the applied force is constant?

If the applied force is constant, the acceleration will also be constant. To know the actual amount of acceleration, you divide the force by the mass.


Does the acceleration remain constant if the applied force was increasing?

No. Acceleration is proportional to the applied force.


What is Newton's 2nd law?

Newtons second law states that the acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied to it.


How does current vary with the resistance in the circuit if the voltage is constant?

Inversely. As resistance increases, current dereases; given that the applied voltage is constant.


What happens if you increase the mass on an object does the acceleration decrease or increase?

If the mass of an object increases, what happens to the acceleration?


How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?

There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.


What happens to the acceleration if the force applied is increased three times?

Assuming the mass remains constant, the acceleration will be tripled as well.


If the voltage applied to a circuit remains constant and the resistance in the circuit is increased the current will?

V = IR Where, V = voltage I = current R = resistance Thus if resistance is increased with constant voltage current will decrease

Will the resistance of a copper conductor decrease with an increase in the applied voltage?

If all environmental conditions remain constant then the resistance will not change appreciably with applied voltage, but the current will increase. An increase in current will raise the temperature of the conductor which will increase the resistance somewhat.


What do you think will happen to the cart's acceleration when it is pulled with a constant net force?

The cart's acceleration will be directly proportional to the net force applied to it. If the force remains constant, the acceleration will also remain constant, assuming no other external factors are affecting the cart's motion.
