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.

Distance = 6 km south 60 minutes What was the average velocity

blsea [12.9K]

v = x/t

v = average velocity, x = displacement, t = elapsed time

Given values:

x = 6km south, t = 60min

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 6/60

v = 0.1km/min south

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

$2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda$

here we know that

$\mu = 1.756$

t = thickness of layer

N = 0 (for minimum thickness of layer)

$\lambda = 675 nm$

now we have

$2(1.756) t = \frac{675 nm}{2}$

$t = 96.1 nm$

An object is dropped from rest from a 70.6 m tower. Air resistance is negligible. After 0.32 seconds, what is magnitude and dire

dem82 [27]

Answer:

1,378.9ms²

Explanation:

Given the following

Distance S = 70.6m

Time t = 0.32secs

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Required

Acceleration

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2at²

Substitute

70.6 = 0+1/2a(0.32)²

70.6 = 0.0512a

a = 70.6/0.0512

a = 1,378.9

Hence the acceleration is 1,378.9ms²

when a circular plate of metal is heated in an oven, its radius increases at .03 cm/min, at what rate is the area increasing whe

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Rate of change of area will be $9.796cm^2/min$

Explanation:

We have given rate of change of radius $\frac{dr}{dt}=0.03cm/min$

Radius of the circular plate r = 52 cm

Area is given by $A=\pi r^2$

So $\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Puting the value of r and $\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2\times 3.14\times 52\times 0.03=9.796cm^2/min$

So rate of change of area will be $9.796cm^2/min$

Which of the following describes how the current in a circuit can be increased? Select all that apply.

Anettt [7]

Answer:

B. and D. would be my best guess.

Explanation:

The reason why is because if you lower the resistance, the voltage will be higher, and if you higher the voltage, the resistance would be lower and the voltage would higher.
