Inertia is the property of mass and as per the definition of inertia we can say that object will continue its state of motion and resist any change in its state of motion due to inertia

Inertia is only the property of mass and no other physical quantity can change the inertia of object

So it is directly proportional to the mass of the object

So if object has more mass then it will have more inertia

in this given example we have to compare the inertia of a 200lb wrestler and a baseball

So here the speed of baseball is of no use as inertia can not be determined by speed of the ball

Since here mass of the wrestler is more so his inertia will be more than the inertia of baseball

A long, straight wire lies in the plane of a circular coil with a radius of 0.018 m. the wire carries a current of 5.6 a and is
iris [78.8K]
(a) The net flux through the coil is zero.
In fact, the magnetic field generated by the wire forms concentric circles around the wire. The wire is placed along the diameter of the coil, so we can imagine as it divides the  coil into two emisphere. Therefore, the magnetic field of the wire is perpendicular to the plane of the coil, but the direction of the field is opposite in the two emispheres. Since the two emispheres have same area, then the magnetic fluxes in the two emispheres are equal but opposite in sign, and so they cancel out when summing them together to find the net flux.

(b) If the wire passes through the center of the coil but it is perpendicular to the plane of the wire, the net flux through the coil is still zero.
In fact, the magnetic field generated by the wire forms concentric lines around the wire, so it is parallel to the plane of the coil. But the flux is equal to
\Phi = BA \cos \theta
where \theta is the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil, so in this case \theta=90^{\circ} and so the cosine is zero, therefore the net flux is zero.

If an object undergoes a change in momentum of 10 kg m/s in 3 s ,then the force acting on it is
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Force = 3.333 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Change in momentum = 10 Kgm/s

Time = 3 seconds

To find the force acting on it;

In Physics, the change in momentum of a physical object is equal to the impulse experienced by the physical object.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Force * time = mass * change in velocity

Impulse = force * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

10 = force * 3

Force = 10/3

Force = 3.333 Newton

A current of 16.0 mA is maintained in a single circular loop of 1.90 m circumference. A magnetic field of 0.790 T is directed pa
pav-90 [236]

Answer

given,

current (I) = 16 mA

circumference of the circular loop (S)= 1.90 m

Magnetic field (B)= 0.790 T

S = 2 π r

1.9 = 2 π r

r = 0.3024 m

a) magnetic moment of loop

    M= I A

    M=16 \times 10^{-3} \times \pi \times r^2

   M=16 \times 10^{-3} \times \pi \times 0.3024^2

   M=4.59 \times 10^{-3}\ A m^2

b)  torque exerted in the loop

 \tau = M\ B

 \tau = 4.59 \times 10^{-3}\times 0.79

 \tau = 3.63 \times 10^{-3} N.m
