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.

A ball is droped from a height of 16m how much time will pass before the ball hits the ground​
sergey [27]

Answer:

The time is 1.8s

Explanation:

The ball droped, will freely fall under gravity.

Hence we use free fall formula to calculate the time by the ball to hit the ground

h= \frac{1}{2}g{t}^{2}

Where h is the height from which the ball is droped, g is the acceleration due to gravity that acted on the ball, and t is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.

From the question,

h=16m

Also, let take

g = 9.8m{s}^{-2}

By substitution we obtain,

16= \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8{t}^{2}

\implies32=9.8{t}^{2}

Diving through by 9.8

\frac{32}{9.8}= \frac{ 9.8{t}^{2} }{9.8}

\implies{t}^{2} =3.265

square root both sides, we obtain

\implies t= \sqrt{3.265}

t=1.8s

A butcher grinds 5 and 3/4 lb of meat then sells it for 2 and 2/3 pounds to the customer what is the maximum amount me that the
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The maximum amount of meat that the butcher can sell is  3\frac{1}{12}\:lb

Explanation:

The maximum amount can be found by taking the difference of mixed numbers.

5\frac{3}{4}-2\frac{2}{3}\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:5-2=3\\\\\mathrm{Combine\:fractions:\:}\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{12}\\\\=3\frac{1}{12}\\

A nonconducting sphere has radius R = 1.29 cm and uniformly distributed charge q = +3.83 fC. Take the electric potential at the
zalisa [80]

Answer:

a) -2.516 × 10⁻⁴ V

b) -1.33 × 10⁻³ V

Explanation:

The electric field inside the sphere can be expressed as:

E= \frac{kqr}{R^3}

The potential at a distance can be represented as:

V(r) - V(0) = -\int\limits^r_0 {\frac{kqr}{R^3} } \, dr^2

V(r) - V(0) = [\frac{qr^2}{8 \pi E_0R^3 }]₀

V(r) =   -[\frac{qr^2}{8 \pi E_0R^3 }]₀

Given that:

q = +3.83 fc = 3.83 × 10⁻¹⁵ C

r = 0.56 cm

 = 0.56 × 10⁻² m

R = 1.29 cm

  =  1.29 × 10⁻² m

E₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹² F/m

Substituting our values; we have:

V(r) = -\frac{(3.83*10^{-15}C)(0.560*10^{-2}m)^2}{8 \pi (8.85*10^{-12}F/m)(1.29*10^{-2}m)^3}

V(r) = -2.15  × 10⁻⁴ V

The difference between the radial distance  and center can be expressed as:

V(r) - V(0) = -\int\limits^R_0 {\frac{kqr}{R^3} } \, dr^2

V(r) - V(0) =  [\frac{qr^2}{8 \pi E_0R^3 }]^R

V(r) = -\frac{qR^2}{8 \pi E_0R^3 }

V(r) = -\frac{q}{8 \pi E_0R }

V(r) = -\frac{(3.83*10^{-15}C)}{8 \pi (8.85*10^{-12}F/m)(1.29*10^{-2}m)}

V(r) = -0.00133

V(r) = - 1.33 × 10⁻³ V
