Answer:
Work is measured as the product of force and the displacement in the direction of the force. Work = force × displacement in the direction of the force.
Talking about a quantity of inertia is exactly the same as talking about a quantity of mass. So, if the boxes are anywhere near the same size, then the box of books has <u><em>more</em></u> inertia than the box of cotton balls, because books have more mass than an identical volume of cotton.
Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)
Wave speed = (3 m) x (15 Hz)
<em>Wave speed = 45 m/s</em>
