Answer:
Yes, a sled has inertia while sitting still.
Explanation:
From Newton's law of inertia, an object at rest will remain at rest unless it is acted upon by an external force. The reason the object will remain at rest unless an external force acts is because of inertia. Inertia means the resistance of an object to motion.
Thus, a sled hammer at rest will remain at rest unless it is acted upon by an external force. So we can conclude that it has Inertia.
Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed.
Answer:
6.96 s
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s
- a = constant acceleration of the automobile =

- v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s
<u>Assume:</u>
- t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.
At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.
