How does inertia affect the motion of an object?

Physics
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Inertia affects the motion of an object as follows:</u>

When an object is in motion, it will continue to be in the same state unless otherwise some outside force is being applied to it. Thus, inertia affects the motion of an object. It restricts some other force being acted upon the object.

But mass of an object is directly proportional to inertia. So when the inertia is more on an object, it means that the object has more mass. For example, if there are two similar bricks, one that is made up of mortar and the other one is made of Styrofoam.

To identify which brick is made of Styrofoam without lifting the bricks, push both the bricks with equal force, the one that has less resistance tends to move faster. This means that it has less inertia and hence less mass.

To dry the brakes, drive slowly in __________ and apply light pressure on your brake pedal.
ira [324]
<span>The answer is low gear. To dry the brakes of a vehicle, one must driv slowly in low gear and apply light pressure on the vehicle's brake pedal. Dry brakes are less expensive and are cheap when it needs replacement, yet under pressure they may cause more damage to the system than wet brakes, which are better in terms of emergency.</span>

The stone, which weighs 400 g, is thrown upwards at a speed of 20 m / s. Climbed to a height of 12 m. Determine: what is equal t
maxonik [38]

Given that,

Mass of the stone, m = 400 g = 0.4 kg

Initial speed, u = 20 m/s

It is climbed to a height of 12 m.

To find,

The work done by the resistance force.

Solution,

Let v is the final speed. It can be calculated by using the conservation of energy.

v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 12} \\\\v=15.33\ m/s

Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. It can be given as follows :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.4\times (15.33^2-20^2)\\\\=-32.99\ J

So, the required work done is 32.99 J.

What kind of light would be the best to use to look inside a cold dark cloud and see the warm stars forming inside?
lys-0071 [83]
<h2>Answer: Infrared light</h2>

A dark nebula is a cloud of dust and cold gas, which does not emit visible light and hides the stars it contains.

These types of nebulae are composed mainly of the hydrogen they obtain from nearby stars, which is their fuel.

It is using infrared light that we can "observe" and analyze in detail what happens in the inner parts of these nebulae.
