After an avalanche, a huge block of stone slid down a mountain and landed in the middle of a road. People in the nearby town had

a very difficult time moving it out of the road. The block of stone is difficult to move because A. it has a high amount of momentum. B. has balanced forces acting on it. C. it has a high amount of inertia. D. has unbalanced forces acting on it.

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

From Newton's law of inertia, an object at rest tends to be at rest until there is an external force applied to it.

In the given question, the rock block that fell on the road due to the avalanche contains high mass and high inertia. Due to which the block was not able to move aside. <u>The amount of energy required to push the block aside should be more than the mass of the block</u>. So the block has high inertia value and it will need more force than its inertia value in order to move the block of rock towards the side of the road.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Which of the following is an example of kinetic mechanical energy?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Kinetic energy must be moving. Potential energy has the ability to move but is not doing so at the moment.

A is likely the answer. But there's lots involved in that kind of motion.

B If the ball is elevated, it implies it is not moving yet. It has potential energy.

C Again, the spring is compressed. It will push something when it moves, but it is not moving yet.

D The load gun's bullet is not moving. It's still potential energy.

E. The mouse trap is set, but it is not moving. When the mouse eats the bait then it's potential energy will transform into kinetic energy.

svetoff [14.1K]
Impulse describes the change of momentum. Since we don't know the momentum of the soccer ball before the hit, this question is hard to answer. If you assume the momentum of the ball before the hit was p = 0, then the change in momentum is just Δp = Impulse = mv.
