Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion. This includes changes to the object's speed, direction, or state of rest.

The diagram shows the electric field lines surrounding two positive point charges. If the charge on the right were replaced with
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Explanation:

The wording on some of these choices is very strange; I'm not sure exactly what they are stating. First of all, A. is definitely a choice because if both the charges were opposite, they would be attracted to one another as opposed to be repelled away from one another, as they are when they are both positive. What happens is that the charges go OUT from the positive charge and INTO the negative; so as far as the field lines around both charges would change direction...no; only the direction of the field lines would change on the positive charge (which is the one on the left). In that space where D is filled in by the field lines going OUT of the positive charge and INTO the negative one, the lines there are naturally closer together, and that is the point where the charge is the greatest. So if that is what is meant by the field lines getting closer together, then yes, they do. As far as choice D. again the field lines on the negative charge don't change, only the ones on the positive charge change.

a swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of 9.50 m/s. he intends to swim directly across the river that has a downstream cur
Doss [256]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Still-water speed  = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.

The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.

The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s

The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°

Answer:  10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.

Two samples of aluminum foil, 27 grams and 54 grams, are cut out from a roll. Which of the following properties is different for
Delicious77 [7]
Before answering this question, you must know the concept between extensive and intensive property. The extensive property does not depend on the amount of substance (like mass), which is the opposite of intensive properties. From the given choices, the rest are extensive properties except for <em>amount of matter</em>. Hence, that is the answer.

The temperature of water in a beaker is 45°C. What does this measurement represent
andrezito [222]
Based on my information, this would actually be representing "the average kinetic energy of water particles". So, as you take notice that where this temperature is being located, and also, how this would be 45°C, this would make more sense for this to be representing as <span>the average kinetic energy of water particles.</span>

25% part (c) assume that d is the distance the cheetah is away from the gazelle when it reaches full speed. Derive an expression
levacccp [35]

maximum speed of cheetah is

v_1 = v_{max}

speed of gazelle is given as

v_2 = v_{g}

Now the relative speed of Cheetah with respect to Gazelle

v_{12} = v_1 - v_2

v_{12} = v_{max} - v_g

now the relative distance between Cheetah and Gazelle is given initially as "d"

now the time taken by Cheetah to catch the Gazelle is given as

d = v_{12}* t

so by rearranging the terms we can say

t = \frac{d}{v_{12}}

t = \frac{d}{v_{max} - v_g}

so above is the relation between all given variable
