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

What is the differnce between kinetic and potential energy

Tems11 [23]

I think the answer should be that, Kinetic energy is contained in a moving object, while potential energy exists in a stored form.

You release a block from the top of a long, slippery inclined plane of length l that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. The m

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

UG (x) = m*g*x*sin(Q)

Vx,f (x)= sqrt (2*g*x*sin(Q))

Explanation:

Given:

- The length of the friction less surface L

- The angle Q is made with horizontal

- UG ( x = L ) = 0

- UK ( x = 0) = 0

Find:

derive an expression for the potential energy of the block-Earth system as a function of x.

determine the speed of the block at the bottom of the incline.

Solution:

- We know that the gravitational potential of an object relative to datum is given by:

UG = m*g*y

Where,

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational acceleration constant

y is the vertical distance from datum to the current position.

- We will consider a right angle triangle with hypotenuse x and angle Q with the base and y as the height. The relation between each variable can be given according to Pythagoras theorem as follows:

y = x*sin(Q)

- Substitute the above relationship in the expression for UG as follows:

UG = m*g*x*sin(Q)

- To formulate an expression of velocity at the bottom we can use an energy balance or law of conservation of energy on the block:

UG = UK

- Where UK is kinetic energy given by:

UK = 0.5*m*Vx,f^2

Where Vx,f is the final velocity of the object @ x:

m*g*x*sin(Q) = 0.5*m*Vx,f^2

-Simplify and solve for Vx,f:

Vx,f^2 = 2*g*x*sin(Q)

Hence, Velocity is given by:

Vx,f = sqrt (2*g*x*sin(Q))

Based on the type of medium, what can you assume about the speed of sound in glass?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

"It will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*C and water at 20*C."

Explanation:

Speed of sound in a medium depends upon the density and elasticity of the medium.

If the elasticity of a medium is greater and the density of that medium is lower, sound will travel faster. Although density is also a factor but the major factor is Elasticity.

Hence, sound travel faster in solids than in liquids and even slower in gases due to elasticity difference.

$Speed of sound = V = \sqrt{\frac{Elasticity}{Density} }$

That is why the speed of sound in glass will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*C and water at 20*C.

What is the half-life of a radioisotope

IceJOKER [234]

The rate at which a radioactive isotope decays is measured in half-life. The termhalf-life is defined as the time it takes for one-half of the atoms of a radioactive material to disintegrate. Half-lives for various radioisotopes can range from a few microseconds to billions of years.

What are the three properties of a magnet?

Mamont248 [21]

1. Magnets attract iron and other ferromagnetic materials such as neodymium and cobalt.

2. Magnets attract or repel other magnets.

3. In addition one part of a magnet will always point north when allowed to swing freely.
