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.

Find the energy released when there is a decrease of 0.3kg of material in a nuclear reaction
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

E = 2.7 x 10¹⁶ J

Explanation:

The release of energy associated with the mass can be calculated by Einstein's mass-energy relation, as follows:

E = mc^2

where,

E = Energy Released = ?

m = mass of material reduced = 0.3 kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

E = (0.3\ kg)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)^2

<u>E = 2.7 x 10¹⁶ J</u>

A sled slides down a hill with friction between the sled and hill but negligible alr resistance. Which of the following must be
Andreyy89

Answer:

A) The sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy changes by an amount equal to the energy dissipated by friction,

Explanation:

  • The kinetic energy is the energy that the object has and is defied by the work that is needed to accelerate the body.
  • The gravitational potential is a mechanism by which an equal amount of energy is being transferred per unit mass that is needed for the object to move from the specific location.
  • Hence when the sled moves down the hill with the force of gravity it has negligible resistance as an equal amount of energy is dissipated.

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.
KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
