What the heck is inertia

Physics
1 answer:
r-ruslan [8.4K]3 years ago
6 0
The answer is A- a resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion.

Explanation- Inertia means the resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion. Newton's conception of inertia stood in direct opposition to more popular conceptions about motion. The dominant thought prior to Newton's day was that it was the natural tendency of objects to come to a rest position.

A brick falls from a wall to the ground 3.42 m below. How much time will it take to
ddd [48]

Answer:

The time taken by the brick to hit the ground, t = 0.84 s

Explanation:

Given that,

A brick falls from a height, h = 3.42 m

The initial velocity of the brick is zero.

Since the brick is under free-falling. The time equation of a free-falling body when the displacement is given is

                                     t = \sqrt{2h/g}

where,

                                 h - height from surface in meters

                                 g - acceleration due to gravity

on substituting the values in the above equation,

                                 t =  \sqrt{2X3.14/9.8}

                                   = 0.84 s

Hence, time taken by the brick to hit the ground is t = 0.84 s

What is the minimum mass needed for a star to be on the main sequence? What happens to stars that do not meet the minimum mass?
Mariana [72]
Main sequence stars are characterised by the source of their energy.They are all undergoing fusion of hydrogen into helium within their cores. The mass of the star is the main element for such process or phenomenon to take place for it is a determinant of both the rate at which they perform the said activity and the amount of fuel available. 

To answer the question, the lower mass limit for a main sequence star is about 0.08. If the mass of a main sequence star is lower than the above-mentioned value, there would be a deficit or insufficiency of gravitational force to generate a standard temperature for hydrogen core fusion to take place and the underdeveloped star would form into a brown dwarf instead.

Which law states that absolute zero cannot be reached?
padilas [110]
The third law of thermodynamics,the principle of temperature.

This law states that the entropy at 0 is always equel to 0.
This means that it is impossible to cool down a perfect 0 or absolute 0(-273.15 C)

A mass on a spring vibrates in simple harmonic motion at an amplitude of 8.0 cm. If the mass of the object is 0.20 kg and the sp
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 3.73Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a simple harmonic 6is given by:

f = w/2pi

But w= Sqrt( k/m)

Where k is the spring constant

And m is the mass

Given:

Mass=0.20kg

Spring constant, k=130N/m

w= Sqrt(130/0.20)

w= Sqrt(650)

w= 25.50 m

Frequency, f = w/2pi

f = 25.50/(2×3.142)

f = 3.73Hz
