When we say that an object wants to maintain its state of motion, we’re talking about inertia. Which term determines the quantit

y of inertia for an object?

Inertia is determined by the mass of the object. greater the mass an object has, greater will be its inertia. smaller the mass an object has, smaller will be its inertia. Greater mass enables an object to resist change in its state of motion or rest while on the other hand smaller mass object can be easily made to change its state of motion or rest.

A 562 N trunk is on frictionless plane inclined at 30.0 degrees from the horizontal. What is the acceleration of the trunk down
Len [333]

Answer: 0m/s²

Explanation:

Since the forces acting along the plane are frictional force(Ff) and moving force(Fm), we will take the sum of the forces along the plane

According newton's law of motion

Summation of forces along the plane = mass × acceleration

Frictional force is always acting upwards the plane since the body will always tends to slide downwards on an inclined plane and the moving acts down the plane

Ff = nR where

n is coefficient of friction = tan(theta)

R is normal reaction = Wcos(theta)

Fm = Wsin(theta)

Substituting in the formula of newton's first law we have;

Fm-Ff = ma

Wsin(theta) - nR = ma

Wsin(theta) - n(Wcos(theta)) = ma... 1

Given

W = 562N, theta = 30°, n = tan30°, m = 56.2kg

Substituting in eqn 1,

562sin30° - tan30°(562cos30°) = 56.2a

281 - 281 = 56.2a

0 = 56.2a

a = 0m/s²

This shows that the trunk is not accelerating

Are light waves longitudinal or transverse
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.

Work is done on a locked door that remains closed while you try to pull it open. True False.
dsp73

Answer:False

Explanation:

Work is being done on a body when it causes displacement of body on the application of force

Work\ done=Force\times displacement

When we pull the door by a force it causes zero displacements of the door. So we can say that work done on it is zero.

Thus the above-given statement is false
