Talking about a quantity of inertia is exactly the same as talking about a quantity of mass. So, if the boxes are anywhere near the same size, then the box of books has <u><em>more</em></u> inertia than the box of cotton balls, because books have more mass than an identical volume of cotton.
This problem is to let you practice using Newton's second law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
-- The airplane's mass when it takes off (before it burns any of its load of fuel) is 320,000 kg.
-- The force available is (240,000 N/per engine) x (4 engines) = 960,000 N.
-- Now you know ' F ' and ' mass '. Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the plane's acceleration.
Answer: 100cm
Explanation:
The force of friction on a surface normal to gravity where µ is the coefficient of friction is
F = µmg
Where
F = the friction force
µ = coefficient of friction
m = mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity
Also, the Kinetic Energy of the object, E = Fs, where
E = Kinetic Energy
s = stopping distance. So that,
E = µmgs
40 J = 0.4 * 10 kg * 10 m/s² * s
40 J = 40 kgm/s² * s
s = 40 J / 40 kgm/s²
s = 1 m or 100 cm
Answer:
(C) apparently written incorrectly - it should be 29.9 +- .3 K
(read 29.9 plus or minus .3 K)
