Which statement best defines inertia? An object's motion is unaffected by any external forces acting upon it. An object responds

to a force by tending to move in the direction of that force. An object opposes any motion, naturally returning to a state of rest on its own. An object opposes any change in its velocity, either to its direction or to its speed.

Answer:

An object responds to a force by tending to move in the direction of that force

Explanation:

The inertia of a body can be defined with the help of Newton's second law

          F = m a

Where F is the applied force, a is the acceleration of the body and m is the mass

the force and the acceleration are vectors that point in the same direction and m is a scalar constant that relates the two vectors, this scalar constant is called masses and it measures the resistance of the bodies to the change of motion.

From the previous statement we see that the statement that best describes inertia is:

An object responds to force by tending to move in the direction of the force.

The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.

A woman is applying 300N/m2 of pressure on to door with her hand. Her hand has area of 0.02m2. Work out the force being applied​
never [62]

Answer:

6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure applied by the woman  = 300N/m²

Area = 0.02m²

Unknown:

Force applied  = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body

        Pressure  = \frac{force}{area}

         Force  = Pressure x area

        Force  = 300 x 0.02  = 6N

A proton of mass m is at rest when it is suddenly struck head-on by an alpha particle (which consistsof 2 protons and 2 neutrons
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

3/5 v

Explanation:

The computation of speed will the alpha particle have after the collision is shown below:-

In a perfectly elastic the kinetic energy and collision the momentum are considered.

The velocity of the particles defines the below equation:

VA_f=(\frac{m_A-m_B}{m_A+m_B})VA_i+(\frac{2m_B}{m_A+m_B})VB_i

As we know that

VA_i=v

\\VB_i=0

Here, we consider A is the alpha particle and B is the proton and now by the above values we can solve the equation which is below:-

VA_f=(\frac{4m-m}{4m+m})v

\\VA_f=\frac{3m}{5m}v

\\VA_f=\frac{3}{5}v

Therefore the correct answer is \frac{3}{5}v
