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

Physics

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.

How do the positions of the sun and moon affect what people do?
Verdich [7]

-- The position of the sun was originally the primary influence in determining
when people went to sleep and when they woke up.  Although it no longer
directly influences us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in our make-up
that our behavior still largely coincides with the positions of the sun.

-- The position of the Moon was originally the primary influence in determining
the cycle of human female physiology.  Although it no longer directly influences
us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in human make-up that the female cycle
still largely coincides with the positions of the Moon.

Light with a wavelength of 400 nm strikes the surface of cesium in a photocell, and the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light that is capable of ejecting electrons from that metal is 1292 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 400 nm

Energy E=1.54\times10^{-19}\ J

We need to calculate the longest wavelength of light that is capable of ejecting electrons from that metal

Using formula of energy

E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{1.54\times10^{-19}}

\lambda=1292\times10^{-9}\ m

\lambda=1292\ nm

Hence, The longest wavelength of light that is capable of ejecting electrons from that metal is 1292 nm.

The volumes of a sample of lead and a sample of platinum are the same: 2 cm3. The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3 and the density
Vlad1618 [11]

The answer is C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample. As I explained in a previous answer, if they are the same volume, but one is heavier, then it must be more dense. In this particular example, the platinum is more dense than the lead, and therefore has more mass.
