Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

Inertia is essentially an object's tendency to stay in motion or at rest unless it is forced to do otherwise (pun intended). It only makes sense to me that mass would best quantify an object's inertia, because an object with more mass would be harder to move and/or stop from moving.

A voltage of 21.0V across the terminals of a device produces a current of 3.00 mA through the device. What is the resistance of

densk [106]

Answer: 7,000 ohms

Explanation:

From the equation of ohms law V= IR

V=21 volt

I = 3 MA = 3.0×10^-3 A

So by evaluating, we have.

V= IR

21= 3.0×10^-3 × R

Then R = 21/3.0×10^-3

R= 7,000 ohms//.

The motor in a refrigerator has a power output of 400 W. If the freezing compartment is at 273 K and the outside air is at 306 K

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:15,883.63 KJ

Explanation:

Given

Power=400 W

Freezing compartment temperature is 273 K $(T_L)$

Outside air Temperature=306 K $(T_H)$

Time =80 minutes

Energy Required to deliver 400 w power in 80 minutes

E=1920 KJ

and we know COP of refrigerator is given by

$COP=\frac{T_L}{T_H-T_L}$ $=\frac{Desired\ effect}{Work}$

$\frac{273}{306-273}=\frac{D.E.}{1920}$

$D.E.=8.27\times 1920=15883.63 KJ$

Therefore 15,883.63 KJ is removed in 80 minutes

What is the velocity of a wave with a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: 1,500m/s

Explanation:

Relationship existing between velocity of a wave (v), wavelength(¶) and frequency(f) is

v = f¶... (1)

Since Frequency (f) is the reciprocal of the period (T);

Frequency = 1/Period i.e F = 1/T... (2)

Substituting equation 2 into 1 we have;

v = 1/T × ¶

v = ¶/T

Given wavelength ¶ = 9m

Period T = 0.006s

v = 9/0.006

v = 1,500m/s

The velocity of the wave will be 1,500m/s

A car drives around a curve with radius 539 m at a speed of 32.0 m/s. The road is banked at 5.00°. The mass of the car is 1.40 ×

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

$f_r = 150.47 N$

Explanation:

given,

r = 539 m

v = 32 m/s

road banked at = 5°

∑ F_x

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r}= N sin \theta + f_r cos \theta$

∑ F_y = 0

$0 = N cos \theta - f_r sin \theta - mg$

$N = \dfrac{f_rsin \theta + mg}{cos \theta}$

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r}= (\dfrac{f_rsin \theta + mg}{cos \theta})sin \theta + f_r cos \theta$

= $f_r sin \theta tan \theta + mg tan \theta + f_r cos \theta$

$f_r = \dfrac{\dfrac{mv^2}{r}- mg tan\theta}{sin\theta tan \theta + cos \theta}$

$f_r = \dfrac{\dfrac{1.4\times 10^3 \times 32^2}{539}- 1.4\times 10^{3}\times 9.8 \times 0.087}{0.087 \times 0.087 + 0.996}$

$f_r = 150.47 N$

In the compound MgS, the sulfide ion has 1. lost one electrons. 2. lost two electrons. 3. gained one electron. 4. gained two ele

never [62]

Answer:

4.has gained two electrons

Explanation:

There exist electrovalent bonding the compound MgS . In electrovalent bonding, there is a transfer of electrons from the metal to non-metal.

Magnesium atom has an atomic number 12 and its electron configuration is 2,8,2

Sulfur atom , a non-metal has atomic number of 16 and its electron configuration = 2,8,6

This means that magnesium as a metal needs to loose two electrons from its valence shell to attain its stable structure.Also sulfur requires two more electron to achieve its octet structure.

Hence a transfer of electrons will take place from magnesium atom to sulfur atom, sulfur gaining two electrons.
