Which of these is an example of the meaning of inertia in physics

1 answer:

6 0

The correct option is A.
In physics, inertia has to do with Newton's first law of motion which states that an object will continue in its state of rest or in motion unless it is acted upon by a force. Thus, inertia refers to the tendency of an object to continue its motion in a straight line at constant velocity. In the question given above, the car that its brake failed would have continue moving indefinitely if it did not crash into another car, that is, it will continue in its state of motion.

What was the major shortcoming of rutherford’s model of the atom?

lisabon 2012 [21]

The major shortcoming of Rutherford's model was that it was incomplete. It did not explain how the atom's negatively charged electrons are distrubuted in the space surronding its positively charged nucleus. A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a string is 1 1 y (2.00 mm)sin[(20 m )x (600 s )t] − − = − Find the (a) amplit

Lelu [443]

Answer:

a)Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

b)f=95.49 Hz

c)V= 30 m/s ( + x direction )

d) λ = 0.31 m

e)Umax= 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

$y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

As we know that standard form of wave equation given as

$y=A sin(\phi -\omega t)$

A= Amplitude

ω=Frequency (rad /s)

t=Time

Φ = Phase difference

$y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

So from above equation we can say that

Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

Frequency ,ω= 600 rad/s (2πf=ω)

ω= 2πf

f= ω /2π

f= 300/π = 95.49 Hz

K= 20 rad/m

So velocity,V

V= ω /K

V= 600 /20 = 30 m/s ( + x direction )

V = f λ

30 = 95.49 x λ

λ = 0.31 m

We know that speed is the rate of displacement

$U=\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$U=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

$U=1200\ cos[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]\ mm/s$

The maximum velocity

Umax = 1200 mm/s

Umax= 1.2 m/s

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

$E_{total}=4.82*10^6N/C$

vector with direction equal to the axis X.

Explanation:

We use the Gauss Law and the superposition law in order to solve this problem.

<u>Superposition Law:</u> the Total Electric field is the sum of the electric field of the first infinite sheet and the Electric field of the second infinite sheet:

$E_{total}=E_1+E_2$

<u>Thanks Gauss Law</u> we know that the electric field of a infinite sheet with density of charge σ is:

$E=\sigma/(2\epsilon_o)$

Then:

$E_{total}=(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)/(2\epsilon_o)=(-2.7*10^{-6}+88*10^{-6})/(2*8.85*10^{-12})=4.82*10^6N/C$

This electric field has a direction in the axis perpendicular to the sheets, that means it has the same direction as the axis X.

Based on The MOHS hardness Scale, which mineral could be scratched by a penny but not by a fingernail

melomori [17]

The correct answer is B. Calcite

Explanation:

Mohs hardness scale indicates the hardness of minerals using a scale from 1 to 10 as well as defining the objects or tools that can be used to scratch the minerals. These two features of minerals are shown in the table of the image. About this, it is shown gypsum and talc can be scratched by just a fingernail, considering minerals with a hardness of 2.5 or below can be scratched by a fingernail. In the case of calcite that has a hardness of 3, this cannot be scratched by a fingernail, but it can be scratched by a penny, which works for minerals with a hardness of 3.5 or below. Thus, the correct answer is Calcite.
