Aball is rolling across a frictionless surface when it suddenly stops.

according to newton's first law, why is the following statement incorrect?

"the ball stopped because it was not hit with a strong enough force."

a.
each object has a limited amount of inertia, no matter how much force initially causes it to move.

b.
an object stops when it has no more potential energy to convert into kinetic energy.

c.
uniform motion continues in a straight line until the object in motion is acted upon by an external unbalanced force.

d.
force is the result of mass times acceleration, so it was the acceleration that was not sufficient to keep the ball moving.

An charge with mass m and charge q is emitted from the origin, (x, y)=(0,0). a large, flat screen is located at x=l. there is a target on the screen at y position y(h), where y(h) > 0. in this problem, you will examine two different ways that the charge might hit the target. ignore gravity in this problem. 1.assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive x direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive y direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l. 2.now assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive y direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive x direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l.

The frequency of a tuning fork can be found by the method shown. a long tube open at both ends is submerged in a beaker of water, and the vibrating tuning fork is placed near the top of the tube. the length l of the air column is adjusted by moving the tube vertically. the sound waves generated by the fork are reinforced when the length of the air column corresponds to one of the resonant frequencies of the tube. the smallest value for l for which a peak occurs in sound intensity is 7 cm. l what is the frequency of the tuning fork? the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s. answer in units of hz
