Yes, it is possible for an object to be traveling with a non-zero velocity even if it experiences

a net zero external unbalanced force. This scenario is governed by the principle of inertia.

Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion. According to Newton's
first law of motion, an object will continue to move at a constant velocity (which includes a
non-zero velocity) if the net external force acting on it is zero. This means that the object will
keep moving with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an external force.

The conditions that must be placed on the magnitude and direction of the velocity in this case
are:

1. Magnitude of Velocity: The magnitude of the velocity can be any non-zero value. It
could be a small or large value, depending on the initial conditions and the forces that
were acting on the object before it experienced a net zero external unbalanced force.
2. Direction of Velocity: The direction of the velocity remains constant. If there is no net
external force to change the object's motion, it will continue to move in the same
direction as it was initially moving.

2. When a carpet is beaten with a stick, the impact of the stick loosens the dust particles that
are trapped in the carpet fibers. These dust particles are then released into the air.

The carpet fibers are typically made of materials such as wool, nylon, or polypropylene.
These materials have a lot of tiny spaces between them, which is where the dust particles can
get trapped. The stick helps to break up these spaces, which releases the dust particles.

The amount of dust that comes out of a carpet when it is beaten depends on a number of
factors, such as the type of carpet, the amount of dust that is already in the carpet, and the
force with which the carpet is beaten.

In addition to dust, beating a carpet can also release other particles, such as hair, dander, and
dirt. It is important to vacuum the carpet regularly to remove these particles and prevent them
from becoming airborne.

Here are some tips for beating a carpet to minimize the amount of dust that is released:

 Use a soft-headed stick or broom.


 Beat the carpet in a well-ventilated area.
 Vacuum the carpet regularly.

3. Luggage is tied with a rope on the roof of a bus to prevent it from falling off. This is
because of the concept of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist any change in
its state of motion. When a bus is moving, the luggage on its roof is also moving with it. If
the bus suddenly stops, the luggage will continue to move forward due to inertia. This can
cause the luggage to fall off the roof.

Similarly, when a bus is starting to move, the luggage will tend to stay in place due to inertia.
This can also cause the luggage to fall off the roof.

By tying the luggage with a rope, it is secured in place and less likely to fall off the roof of
the bus.

4. When the batsman hits the ball, he applies a force to the ball, which causes the ball to move.
However, there are also other forces acting on the ball, such as friction from the ground. Friction
opposes the motion of the ball, so it slows the ball down. Eventually, the friction will be strong
enough to stop the ball completely.

5. Given:

 Distance traveled, s = 400 m


 Time taken, t = 20 s
 Mass, m = 7 tonnes = 7000 kg

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s (since the truck starts from rest)

We need to find the acceleration, a and the force, F.

Using the equation of motion, s = ut + 1/2a*t^2, we can find the acceleration:

400 m = 0*20 s + 1/2*a*20^2 m^2/s^2


400 m = 200a
a = 2 m/s^2

The force acting on the truck is equal to its mass times its acceleration. So, the force is:

F = ma = 7000 kg * 2 m/s^2 = 14000 N

Therefore, the acceleration of the truck is 2 m/s^2 and the force acting on it is 14000 N.

Given:

 Mass of the stone, m = 1 kg


 Initial velocity of the stone, u = 20 m/s
 Final velocity of the stone, v = 0 m/s (since the stone comes to rest)
 Distance traveled by the stone, s = 50 m

We need to find the force of friction between the stone and the ice, F.

The force of friction is the only force acting on the stone in the direction opposite to its
motion. So, the force of friction is equal to the deceleration of the stone multiplied by its
mass.

The deceleration of the stone can be found using the equation:

v = u + at

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time
taken.

In this case, v = 0 m/s, u = 20 m/s, and s = 50 m. So, we can find the acceleration:

0 m/s = 20 m/s + a * 50 m/s^2


a = -4 m/s^2

The force of friction is:

F = ma = -4 m/s^2 * 1 kg = -4 N

Therefore, the force of friction between the stone and the ice is -4 N. The negative sign
indicates that the force of friction is acting in the direction opposite to the motion of the
stone.
