Study the scenario.

a car is moving along a frictionless surface with a speed of 2 m/s to the left. you and your friend each come over and push the car at the same time. you exert a force of 6 n to the left, while your friend exerts a force of 6 n to the right.

according to newton’s first law, how will this action affect the car’s motion?


1. the car will stop immediately because two balanced forces will cause an object to stop moving.

2. the car will continue moving to the left but at a slower speed because your friend’s force is going to make the car slow down.

3. the car will continue to move 2 m/s to the left because there are balanced forces acting on it.

4. the car will speed up because your force is in the same direction of the car’s motion, making it speed up.

The answer to your question is: Number 1.

Explanation:

The correct answer to your question is number 1. The car will stop immediately because 2 balanced forces will cause an object stop moving.

If we apply a force of 6 N to the left and another person applies a force of 6 N to right both forces are cancel and the result is O, so the car will stop moving.

Well a chemical change is when substances are combined and the final product is permanent

For example ... baking a cake is a chemical change because the ingredients in the cake can't be separated as separate substances like they were in the beginning

A physical change is where the substances isn't changes, but just the appearance.

For example... origami or cutting paper is considered a physical change because even though it was cut or folded it is still paper.  

One similarity is that the physical and chemical changes are categorized under characteristic changes
