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 2.7-kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0 m high cliff. At the instant the ball i

Answer:

The distance traveled by the woman is 34.1m

Explanation:

Given

The initial height of the cliff

yo = 45m final, positition y = 0m bottom of the cliff

y = yo + ut -1/2gt²

u = 20.0m/s initial speed

g = 9.80m/s²

0 = 45.0 + 20×t –1/2×9.8×t²

0 = 45 +20t –4.9t²

Solving quadratically or by using a calculator,

t = 5.69s and –1.61s byt time cannot be negative so t = 5.69s

So this is the total time it takes for the ball to reach the ground from the height it was thrown.

The distance traveled by the woman is

s = vt

Given the speed of the woman v = 6.00m/s

Therefore

s = 6.00×5.69 = 34.14m

Approximately 34.1m to 3 significant figures.

Pavel [41]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Robert Boyle's law where:

$PV=nRT$

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature

n = amount of substance

R = Ideal gas constant

We start by calculating the volume of inhaled O_2 for it:

$V = 21\% * 0.66L$

$V = 0.1386L$

Our values are given as

P = 1atm

T=293K $R = 0.083145kJ*mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

Using the equation to find n, we have:

$PV=nRT$

$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

$n = \frac{(1)(0.1386)}{(0.0821)(293)}$

$n = 5.761*10^{-3}mol$

Number of molecules would be found through Avogadro number, then

$\#Molecules = 5.761*10^{-3}*6.022*10^{23}$

$\#Molecules = 3.469*10^{21} molecules$

Answer:

570 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram on the rider. There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.

The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0

F = T cos 15° / cos 30°

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°

Substituting:

W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°

W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°

W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

Given T = 1900 N:

W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

W = 570 N

The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).
