How does inertia affect the motion of an object?
Furkat [3]

<u>Inertia affects the motion of an object as follows:</u>

When an object is in motion, it will continue to be in the same state unless otherwise some outside force is being applied to it. Thus, inertia affects the motion of an object. It restricts some other force being acted upon the object.

But mass of an object is directly proportional to inertia. So when the inertia is more on an object, it means that the object has more mass. For example, if there are two similar bricks, one that is made up of mortar and the other one is made of Styrofoam.

To identify which brick is made of Styrofoam without lifting the bricks, push both the bricks with equal force, the one that has less resistance tends to move faster. This means that it has less inertia and hence less mass.

Two positive charges of 20 micro coulomb and 100 micro coulomb and the distance between them is 150cm.What will be the electrica
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

0.8 N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

Formula:

F = kqq'/r²........................ Equation 1

Where F = Force of repulsion, k = coulomb's constant, q = first positive charge, q' = second positive charge, r = distance between the charge.

Given: q = 20 μC = 20×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 100 μC = 100×10⁻⁶ C, r = 150 cm = 1.5 m.

Constant:  k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (20×10⁻⁶ )( 100×10⁻⁶)(9×10⁹)/1.5²

F = 1800×10⁻³/2.25

F = 1.8/2.25

F = 0.8 N

1. A hydraulic lift is to be used to lift a truck masses 5000 kg. If the diameter of the
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

a)   F = 4.9 10⁴ N,  b)   F₁ = 122.5 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use that the pressure is transmitted throughout the entire fluid, being the same for the same height

1) pressure is defined by the relation

           P = F / A

to lift the weight of the truck the force of the piston must be equal to the weight of the truck

          ∑F = 0

          F-W = 0

          F = W = mg

          F = 5000 9.8

          F = 4.9 10⁴ N

the area of ​​the pisto is

          A = pi r²

          A = pi d² / 4

          A = pi 1 ^ 2/4

          A = 0.7854 m²

pressure is

          P = 4.9 104 / 0.7854

          P = 3.85 104 Pa

2) Let's find a point with the same height on the two pistons, the pressure is the same

          \frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2}

where subscript 1 is for the small piston and subscript 2 is for the large piston

          F₁ = \frac{A_1}{A_2} \ F_2

the force applied must be equal to the weight of the truck

          F₁ = ( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )^2\  m g

          F₁ = (0.05 / 1) ² 5000 9.8

          F₁ = 122.5 N
