Inertia is directly proportional to mass.

What is Walter Lewin famous for?

Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin (born January 29, 1936) is a Dutch astrophysicist and former professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology and was a member of MIT's physics faculty for 43 years beginning in 1966 until his retirement in 2009.

According to Walter Levin,

The concept of moment of inertia is demonstrated by rolling a series of cylinders down an inclined plane.

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them.

By rolling a series of cylinders down on an inclined plane , he demonstrated that a cylinder have a smooth friction.

He compares the rolling cylinder by using hollow cylinder and a heavy cylinder , and finalize the result that a hollow cylinder moves slowly but the heavy cylinder move faster.

Hence , By doing this experiment he explained about the inertia that Inertia depend on the mass of the object. As the heavy the object it will take more time to travel or move.

You adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air. You increase the temperature from 30 degre
katen-ka-za [31]
To calculate the velocity of the sound wave, we use this formula:
V = 331 + [0.6*T], 
Where V is the velocity and T represents temperature.
When the temperature is 36 degree Celsius, we have 
V = 331 + [0.6 * 36]
V = 331 + 21.6 = 352.6 
Therefore, V = 352.6 m/s.

Arada [10]

Answer:

Biodiversity.

Explanation:

The number of different species in a particular area is known as biodiversity. Blue whales, plants, different kind of animals, and micro-organism living in an ocean is the example of biodiversity. In biodiversity each specie has its own role. For example, if a biodiversity has large number of plants (species), it will have many type of crops.
