Talking about a quantity of inertia is exactly the same as talking about a quantity of mass. So, if the boxes are anywhere near the same size, then the box of books has more inertia than the box of cotton balls, because books have more mass than an identical volume of cotton.

A box of books has more inertia than a box of cotton balls.

Explanation:

Inertia is related to the mass of the object. Inertia is usually defined as the resistance offered by the object in response to the movement or the velocity of the object.

The object will higher mass will have higher inertia as it should offer more resistance to remain in inertia and the object with lesser mas can offer smaller resistance comparatively. So here, the box of books has more inertia than a box of cotton balls.

When light traveling in straight lines passes through an object that is curved like a lens, the light is ________ at different a

qwelly [4]

Answer:

You are right. It is reflected

Explanation:

if it is concave then the light is reflected at one direction.

if it is convex the light is reflected outwards and they will travel away from the focal point and the light scatters or will be reflected to different directions

What is the station's orbital speed? the radius of earth is 6.37×106m, its mass is 5.98×1024kg.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

$v_o=2503.08\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Orbital velocity is the speed that a body that orbits around another body must have, for its orbit to be stable. For orbits with small eccentricity and when one of the masses is almost negligible compared to the other mass, like in this case, the orbital speed is given by:

$v_o=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

Where M is the greater mass around which this negligible body is orbiting, r is the radius of the greater mass and G is the universal gravitational constant. So:

$v_o=\sqrt{\frac{6.674*10^{-11}\frac{m^3}{kg\cdot s^2}(5.98*10^{24}kg)}{6.37*10^6m}}\\v_o=2503.08\frac{m}{s}$
