What relationship does mass have with inertia

1 answer:

7 0

Inertia is a term that qualitatively describes the ability of a substance to resist changes in its state of motion, while mass gives a quantitative value for inertia

A child on a high dive has a mass of 40 kilograms. If the high dive is 10 meters in the air, what is the potential energy? GPE=m

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Ep = 3924 [J]

Explanation:

To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

$E_{p}=m*g*h\\$

where:

Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 10 [m]

$E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]$

g You drop a 3.6-kg ball from a height of 3.5 m above one end of a uniform bar that pivots at its center. The bar has mass 9.9 k

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

h = 3.5 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the final speed of the ball when it collides with a seesaw. Using the third equation of motion:

$2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2\\$

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 3.5 m

vf = final speed = ?

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

Therefore,

$(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)(3.5\ m) = v_f^2 - (0\ m/s)^2\\v_f = \sqrt{68.67\ m^2/s^2}\\v_f = 8.3\ m/s$

Now, we will apply the law of conservation of momentum:

$m_1v_1 = m_2v_2$

where,

m₁ = mass of colliding ball = 3.6 kg

m₂ = mass of ball on the other end = 3.6 kg

v₁ = vf = final velocity of ball while collision = 8.3 m/s

v₂ = vi = initial velocity of other end ball = ?

Therefore,

$(3.6\ kg)(8.3\ m/s)=(3.6\ kg)(v_i)\\v_i = 8.3\ m/s$

Now, we again use the third equation of motion for the upward motion of the ball:

$2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2\\$

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.81 m/s² (negative for upward motion)

h = height = ?

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 8.3 m/s

Therefore,

$(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)h = (0\ m/s)^2-(8.3\ m/s)^2\\$

If the mass of an object increases, how is its acceleration affected, assuming the net force acting on the object remains the sa

vovikov84 [41]

Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,

F = ma

If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.
