A box of books has _______inertia than a box of cotton balls.

2 answers:

4 0

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.

How fast would you have to travel on the surface of earth at the equator to keep up with the sun (that is, so that the sun would

professor190 [17]

Answer: 1037 miles per hour

Explanation: In order to see the sun in the same position in the sky, you would have to travel against the speed of rotation of the earth, because this is what causes the sun to appear in a constantly changing position.

Because of this, we will have to calculate the speed of rotation of the earth. To get started, we must know the circumference of the earth. Assuming the circumference formula for a sphere,

$Circumference=2\pi R$

Where R is the radius of the earth, we find that the perimeter of the earth is approximately 24881 miles. The equation to calculate speed is given by

$v=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Because the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, we have to find the speed of rotation as the perimeter of the earth divided by 24 hours.

The obtained result is 1037 miles per hour.

You would have to travel at 1037 miles per hour in the direction opposite to the direction the rotation is ocurring in.

The Moon orbits Earth in an average of p = 27.3 days at an average distance of a =384,000 kilometers. Using Newton’s version of

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mass of the earth, $M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, $T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m$

Distance between moon and the earth, $r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m$

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

So, the mass of the earth is $6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Which disadvantage of nuclear power use poses the greatest threat to the environment?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The correct answer is The storage and management of radioactive wastes

Explanation:

In general, nuclear reactions (changes in the nucleus of an atom such as fission) release a lot of energy including a lot of heat. Moreover, this heat is used by humans to obtain electricity and other types of energy, which is known as a nuclear power. This type of power is considered positive because it does not emit carbon and it is quite efficient.

However, in most cases, it is a threat to the environment and living beings because storing and managing the wastes of this type of power is difficult and expensive. Indeed, dealing with the wastes of nuclear power requires complex infrastructure, and any accident or leaking leads to serious consequences from the death of those exposed to the wastes to permanent loss of diversity or changes in nearby areas.
