Science and technology are fundamentally different from each other. responsible for all the good in the world. really one and the same. responsible for all the bad in the world. The net force on any object in equilibrium is? less than its weight. non-zero when motion is involved. equal to its weight zero. A ball tossed vertically upward rises, reaches its highest point, and then falls back to its starting point. During this time the acceleration of the ball is always? directed downward. directed upward. in the direction of motion. opposite its velocity. Compared to a 1-kg block of solid iron, a 2-kg block of solid iron has twice as much inertia. A pair of 10-n vectors at right angles to each other has a resultant of about. An object is propelled along a straight-line path in space by a force. If the mass of the object somehow becomes twice as much, its acceleration.
