The correct answer is (c.) resists a change in motion of an object. Inertia basically resists any physical changes in an object in terms of its state. As stated in the Newton's first law of motion or also known as law of inertia, an object that is at rest will stay at rest and an object that is in motion will stay in motion. In short, an object will keep doing what it is already doing UNLESS net force is acted upon it,
Answer:
Magnitude of the Frictional force = (mv₀²)/2x₁
Explanation:
For the frictional force to stop the box, it has to produce the deceleration of the box; thereby being the opposing force to the box's motion.
According to Newton's first law of motion
Frictional force = (mass of the box) × (deceleration experienced by the box)
Let the mass of the box be m
Then,
Frictional force = ma
Then we can obtain the deceleration using the equations of motion
v² = u² + 2ax
u = Initial velocity = v₀ m/s
v = Final velocity = 0 m/s (since the box comes to rest at the end)
x = horizontal distance covered = (x₁ - x₀) = x₁ (since x₀ = 0)
a = ?
v² = u² + 2ax
0 = (v₀)² + 2ax₁
2ax₁ = - v₀²
a = - (v₀²)/(2x₁) (minus sign, because it's a deceleration)
Magnitude of the Frictional force = ma = (mv₀²)/2x₁
C, exothermic reaction. These types of reaction releases heat so that you can heat up your ready-to-eat meals.
According to the Jefferson lab, "The scientific definition of work is: using a force to move an object a distance (when both the force and the motion of the object are in the same direction.)"
