Answer:

A.Inertia

Explanation:

As per definition of inertia we know that it is the property of mass which resist any change in the state of motion.

So if the object is moving in certain direction then it will continue in the same direction with same velocity until some external force will act upon it.

Here when force object is in infinite space then there is no force on that object so it will continue to move in the same direction with same velocity because of the property of inertia.

So here the motion remains in straight line without any change in the direction due to inertia of the body

A. because none of the other answers make sense, there is no air in space, acceleration would change the velocity, force would imply something moved it which is highly unlikely (unless we are talking about starwars), and inertia is a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged or a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.

Describe the kinetic molecular theory
tatuchka [14]
The kinetic theory of gases is a simple, historically significant model of the thermodynamic behavior of gases, with which many principal concepts of thermodynamics were established. The model describes a gas as a large number of identical submicroscopic particles, all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion

The experiments will involve two billiard balls of known masses, m₁ and m₂, and velocities u₁ and u₂. The two are allowed to collide and the velocities of the balls after the collision v₁ and v₂ are recorded.

The momentum before and after the collision is then calculated as follows:

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

<h3>What is the statement of the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

The law of the conservation of momentum states that the momentum before and after collision in a system of colliding bodies is conserved

The momentum of a body is calculated using the formula below:

Momentum = mass * velocity.

Hence, for the two billiard balls, the momentum before and after the collision is conserved.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: Remain unchanged

Explanation:

The boat with water barrel overboard floats in swimming pool when weight of the water displaced by the boat is equal to the buoyant force acting on the boat.

When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the level of the swimming pool level would remain unchanged as the weight of the boat  with the water and barrel would remain unchanged ( as the density and volume of the whole system remains same) and hence, the weight of the water (of the swimming pool) displaced by the boat would remain same.

A boat loaded with a barrel of water floats in a swimming pool. When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the swimming pool level will <u>remain unchanged. </u>
