The correct answer is True

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law about motion, objects or bodies show a resistance to change their state this includes static objects or those that move. In this way, an object will not change its movement or state except if forces act on it, this is commonly known as inertia. Additionally, inertia and mass (quantity of matter) are closely related as the greater the mass the higher resistance, this can be explained as greater external forces are necessary to change the state of the object if the mass is greater. Thus, it is true the greater the mass is in an object, the higher the resistance to a change in movement the object will have.

True. Since Inertia states this law, we are bound to believe greater mass = greater resistance in change of motion

Burning of fossil fuels releases harmful gases to the atmosphere which leads to climate change. Burning of hydrogen gas releases water which has no negative effect on climate.

Burning of both fossil fuels and hydrogen takes place inside expensive fuel cells.

Fossil fuels are widely available and easy to locate whereas hydrogen is available in the combined form with other elements. Hydrogen are not found in pure form on earth.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable source of energy which means they cannot be replaced in short time.

Why the center of Newton rings is dark?

RideAnS [48]

The point of contact the path difference is zero but one of the interfering ray is reflected so the effective path difference becomes λ/2 thus the condition of minimum intensity is created in the center.

How often a wave occurs in the waves

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Frequency – The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time. Frequency is measured in units called hertz (Hz), and is defined as the number of waves per second. A wave that occurs every second has a frequency of 1 wave per second (1/s) or 1 Hz.

If a man weighs 900 n on the earth, what would he weigh on jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is 25.9 m/s2?

balandron [24]

<span>So, if the man weight 900 newtons on Earth then that means, using F=ma, that the mass of the man is approximately 91.84 kg. This is because 900N=m(9.8m/s^2), and so it follows that 900/9.8=91.84. Using the man's found mass we then plug this into F=ma again. It follows that F=(91.84)(25.9)=2378.57N. This means that the man "weighs" 2378.57 Newtons on Jupiter, or about 2.5x as great as his weight on Earth. This makes sense, considering that 25.9/9.8 is approximately equal to 2.64.</span>

A supertanker ( = 1.70 × 108 kg) is moving with a constant velocity. Its engines generate a forward thrust of 7.40 × 105 N. Dete

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

(a) 0 (b) $F=1.67\times 10^9\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a supertanker, $m=1.7\times 10^8\ kg$

The engine of a generate a forward thrust of, $F=7.4\times 10^5\ N$

(a) As the supertanker is moving with a constant velocity. We need to find the magnitude of the resistive force exerted on the tanker by the water. It is given by :

F = ma, a is the acceleration

For constant velocity, a = 0

So, F = 0

(b) The magnitude of the upward buoyant force exerted on the tanker by the water is equal to the weight of the ship.

F = mg

$F=1.7\times 10^8\times 9.8\\\\F=1.67\times 10^9\ N$

Hence, this is the required solution.
