Inertia ____.

1 answer:

4 0

The correct answer is (c.) resists a change in motion of an object. Inertia basically resists any physical changes in an object in terms of its state. As stated in the Newton's first law of motion or also known as law of inertia, an object that is at rest will stay at rest and an object that is in motion will stay in motion. In short, an object will keep doing what it is already doing UNLESS net force is acted upon it,

The ocean’s tides are not only affected by the shape of the coastlines, or slope of the ocean floor, but also by the gravitation

dexar [7]

Answer:

a) According to Newton's law of gravitation, as the distance between the Moon and the Earth decreases, the gravitational attraction increases and vice versa

The gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth causes the Earth to be slightly bulged on the side directly facing the Moon

The gravitational force also pulls the water bodies on the Earth's surface towards the Moon in the same manner and the effect is more pronounced due to the ability of the liquid water to assume a shape based on the magnitude of the gravitational field attracting it

Therefore, the region where the Moon is closest to the Earth we have a high tide as the water level rises and the region which is perpendicular to where the Moon is located has a low tide

b) The two special types of tides are

1) The neap tide

2) The spring tide

Neap tide

Neap tide occurs when the Sun and Moon are 90° apart from each other when they are viewed by an observer from Earth

The gravitational pull of the Sun cancels (partially) the effect of the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in minimum tidal range

Spring Tide

Spring tide occurs when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are simultaneously inline, such that the Sun reinforces the gravitational pull and tidal force of the Moon, resulting in a maximum tidal range

A tennis ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 38 m/s.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

a) 3.9s

b)74m

Explanation:

a) v=u+at

0=38+(-9.8)t

-38=-9.8t

t=-38/-9.8

t=3.877s

t=3.9s

b) s=ut+1/2at²

s=(38×3.9)+1/2(-9.8×3.9²)

s=148.2 -74.529

s=73.671

s=74m

Choose all of the true statements regarding the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current. Current is measured in am

wel

-- Current is measured in amps. (You can use any symbol you want to represent current, but the most common one is " I ", not "Δ".)

-- The relationship between current, voltage, and resistance is mathematically defined by Ohm's Law.

-- Current is the flow of electrons through a circuit.

-- (Ohm's Law is NOT mathematically represented by the equation V=I/R.) It should be V = I · R .

(When solving for Resistance in a circuit and both voltage and current are known values, the equation I =V*R is not true, and not the way to solve it.) If the resistance is what you're looking for, then the equation to use is R = V / I .

-- If the voltage in a circuit is increased, the current will also increase.
