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.

Answer:

Because of the frictional force, the net force will oppose direction of the block and be directed towards the left even tho the spring exerts no force at this point

he tune-up specifications of a car call for the spark plugs to be tightened to a torque of 47 N⋅m . You plan to tighten the plug

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

207.4 N

Explanation:

The torque $\tau$ on a body is

$\tau = r* F$ where r is the radius vector from the point of rotation to the point at which force F is applied.

The product of r and F is equal to the product of magnitude of r and F multiplied by the sine of angle between both vectors.

Therefore, torque is also given by

$\tau = rF\sin \theta$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between r and F.

Use the expression of torque.

Substitute L for r in the equation $\tau = rF\sin \theta$

$\tau = LF\sin \theta$

Where L is the length of the wrench.

Making F the subject

$F = \frac{\tau }{{L\sin \theta }}$

Force required to pull the wrench is given as,

$F = \frac{\tau }{{L\sin \theta }}$

Substitute $47{\rm{ N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}$ for $\tau$ , 25 cm for L, and 115o for $\theta$

$\begin{array}{c}\\F = \frac{{47{\rm{ N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}}}{{\left( {25{\rm{ cm}}} \right)\sin {{115}^{\rm{o}}}}}\left( {\frac{{1{\rm{ cm}}}}{{{{10}^{ - 2}}{\rm{ m}}}}} \right)\\\\ = 207.435{\rm{ N}}\\\\ \approx 207.4{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}$

How much power is required to light a lightbulb at 100V of voltage when the lightbulb has a resistance of 500 Ohms?

salantis [7]

Answer:

Power = 20 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 100 V

Resistance = 500 Ohms

To find the power that is required to light a lightbulb;

Mathematically, power can be calculated using the formula;

$Power = \frac {Voltage^{2}}{resistance}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Power = \frac {100^{2}}{500}$

$Power = \frac {10000}{500}$

Power = 20 Watts

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

$(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}$

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

$(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]$
