Answer:
Inertia is the tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion. Inertia causes a moving object to stay in motion at the same velocity (speed and direction) unless a force acts on it to change its speed or direction. It also causes an object at rest to stay at rest.
Answer: C. 8.0 m west
Explanation: The arrows are going 15 m west and 7.0 m east. 7 meters of the west will cancel out because 15-7=8. Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number, which is west minus east. The answer will be 8.0 m west.
Answer:
v_f = 24.3 m / s
Explanation:
A) In this exercise there is no friction so energy is conserved.
Starting point. On the roof of the building
Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g y₀
Final point. On the floor
Em_f = K = ½ m v_f²
Emo = Em_g
½ m v₀² + m g y₀ = ½ m v_f²
v_f² = v₀² + 2 g y₀
let's calculate
v_f = √(10² + 2 9.8 25)
v_f = 24.3 m / s
The distance covered by an object accelerating from rest is
D = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)² .
In this particular case, 'acceleration' is 9.8 m/s² ... due to gravity.
D = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (1.67 s)²
D = (4.9 m/s²) · (2.789 s²)
D = 13.67 meters
