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.

Geologists know the past temperature of the planet based on rock and fossil evidence. Why do you think it is difficult to determ
Basile [38]

Answer:

I think it is difficult to determine what has caused climate change in the distant past because it must have been a long time ago so geologists can't carry out different experiments and figure out what gases the planet had conjured, so geologists can only make predictions based off the evidence they currently have from what the planet looked like before. The planet must have changed over the years, therefore the climate has also changed in the future, so they cannot work with how the planet looked in the past.

Is the relationship between the length of a pendulum and its period is valid at all times?
Stels [109]
Yes it is valid all the times under the consideration of acceleration due to gravity .it is not valid on space where there is no influence of gravity

A large truck collides with a small car. True or False: The truck exerted a greater magnitude force on the car than the car exer
Reptile [31]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The forces on the car and truck are equal and opposite. The equal forces cause accelerations of the truck and car inversely proportional to their mass. That is, If the Truck A exerts a force FAB on car B, then the car will exert a force FBA on the truck. Therefore,

FBA = −FAB

However, this can be explained by Newton's second law. Let's say the truck has mass M and the car has mass m. If the magnitude of the force that both vehicles experience is F, then the magnitudes of their respective accelerations are:

atruck = F/M

acar = F/m

and combining these we get:

atruck/acar = m/M

So if the mass of the car is a lot less than the mass of the truck, then the acceleration of the truck is much smaller than the acceleration of the car, and if you were to watch the collision, the truck would pretty much seem like it's motion was unaffected, but the car's motion will change quite a bit.

4. How does a molecule differ from an atom
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a molecule, atoms are bonded together by single, double, or triple bonds. An atom has a nucleus surrounded by electrons. ... So another difference between atoms and molecules is that when similar atoms combine together in varying numbers, molecules of different properties can be formed.
