Does the inertia of an object change as the object’s velocity changes explain

1 answer:

8 0

Inertia is proportional to mass. It is a measure of the resistance to changes in velocity. Inertia is a property of mass and cannot change. Momentum changes as an object changes its velocity. Good luck on your assignment and have a great day! :D

20. Which statement is false? Rewrite it so that it is true. a. Fusion involves the combination of two smaller atoms into a larg

Answer:

c. Fission and fusion are two processes that release very little amounts of energy.

Explanation:

This statement is false. In fact, both fission and fusion are processes which release very large amounts of energy. The statement can be rewritten as it is true as follows:

"Fission and fusion are two processes that release very large amounts of energy."

Fission occurs when a large nucleus break apart, splitting into smaller nuclei, while fusion occurs when two light nuclei combine together into a larger nucleus. In both cases, the mass of the reactants is larger than the mass of the final products, so some of the mass has been converted into energy, according to Einstein's equation:

$E = \Delta m c^2$

where

E is the energy released

$\Delta m$ is the mass lost in the process

c is the speed of light

Since c is a very large number ( $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ ), we see that even a very small mass $\Delta m$ causes the released of a huge amount of energy, so both fission and fusion release large amounts of energy.

A ball of a mass 0.3 kg is released from rest at a height of 8 m. How fast is it going when it hits the ground? Acceleration due

Vaselesa [24]

In order to solve this problem, there are two equations that you need to know to solve this problem and pretty much all of kinematics. The first is that d=0.5at^2 (d=vertical distance, a=acceleration due to gravity and t=time). The second is vf-vi=at (vf=final velocity, vi=initial velocity, a=acceleration due to gravity, t=time). So to find the time that the ball traveled, isolate the t-variable from the d=0.5at^2. Isolate the t and the equation now becomes $\sqrt{(2d)/a}$ . Solving the equation where d=8 and a=9.8 makes the time $\sqrt{(2*8)/9.8}$ =1.355 seconds. With the second equation, the vi=0 m/s, the vf is unknown, a=9.8 m/s^2 and t=1.355 sec. Substitute all these values into the equation vf-vi=at, this makes it vf-0=9.8(1.355). This means that the vf=13.28 m/s.
