a. a box resting on a horizontal floor.
b. a car slowing as it reaches a traffic light.

Apotter's wheel moves uniformly from rest to an angular speed of 0.20 rev/s in 32.0 s. (a) find its angular acceleration in radians per second per second. rad/s2 (b) would doubling the angular acceleration during the given period have doubled final angular speed?

Learning goal: to understand newton's 1st law. newton's principia states this first law of motion: an object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. this law may be restated as follows: if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, f⃗ =ma⃗ , when f⃗ =0. when studying newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember the 1st law in two ways: if the net force (i. e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). if an object is moving with constant velocity, that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas. part a if a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that

The largest observatory complex in the world is on mauna kea, the tallest mountain on earth. what are some factors astronomers consider when selecting an observatory site? don’t forget practical ones. should astronomers, for example, consider building an observatory on denali (mount mckinley) or mount everest?
