How come when an object has a greater mass, it has a greater Inertia? and the other way around.

Inertia is a property of a body to resist the change in linear state of motion. It is measured by the mass of the body. An object having greater mass performing linear motion is difficult to stop. Hence greater the mass greater is its inertia. Hope it helps.

What is the unit of k (spring constant) in SI system?

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

SI unit of k (spring constant) = N/m

Explanation:

We have expression for force in a spring extended by x m given by

F = kx

Where k is the spring constant value.

Taking units on both sides

Unit of F = Unit of k x Unit of x

N = Unit of k x m

Unit of k = N/m

SI unit of k (spring constant) = N/m

A car drives at a constant speed of 21 m/s around a circle with radius 100 m. What is the centripetal acceleration of the car?

Sauron [17]

If you look below, we are using the centripetal acceleration formula. You just need to plug your numbers in and it should work! $A_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \\A_c=\frac{21^2}{100} \\A_c=\frac{441}{100} \\A_c= 4.41m/s/s$
