Answer:

Inertia is the tendency or ability of a body to remain at rest or in uniform motion along a straight line in the absence of any external force. It is the reluctance a body displays when agitated or encountered by an external.

By the law of inertia, an object will always remain in its position of rest or state of uniform motion along a straight line until it is engaged with an external force.

To put it in other words;

When an object is at rest, it will want to remain at rest. If it becomes engaged with an external force it will display some reluctance before it changes its mechanical state.

Similarly, when an object is in uniform motion, it will want to continue with the motion. If an external force then interrupts it, it will also display some reluctance. This reluctance is in the form of it wanting to continue its motion irrespective of the force.

So therefore if I am moving fast on a skateboard and suddenly I become interrupted with a force, by the law of inertia my tendency is to continue the motion and this makes me exhibit reluctance in responding to the force. This reluctance will then make me to topple over and fall off if there is nothing to quickly hold unto. The more massive I am, the greater the effect of the topple. The inertia of an object is proportional to its mass.

When the wheels of the skateboard get stuck in the crack of the sidewalk, the riders inertia will continue forward and cause him to fall off/down.

(b) A piece of wood of volume 0.6 m² floats in water. Find the volume
enot [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume below water be v . Then

buoyant force = v d g where d is density of water , g is acceleration due to gravity

= v x 1000 x g

weight of wood piece = volume x density of wood x g

= .6 x 600 x g

for equilibrium while floating

buoyant force = weight

= v x 1000 x g  =  .6 x 600 x g

v = .36 m²

volume above water or volume exposed = .6 - .36

= .24 m²

When immersed completely ,

buoyant force = .6 x 1000 x 9.8

= 5880 N

weight of wood

=  .6 x 600 x g

= 3528 N

buoyant force is more than the weight . In order to equalise them for floating with full volume in water

weight required = 5880 - 3528

= 2352 N.

A net force of –8750N is used to stop of 1250.kg car travelling 25m/s. What braking distance is needed to bring the car to a hal
Karolina [17]

Answer:

d = 44.64 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Net force acting on the car, F = -8750 N

The mass of the car, m = 1250 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 25 m/s

Final speed, v = 0 (it stops)

The formula for the net force is :

F = ma

a is acceleration of the car

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{-8750}{1250}\\\\a=-7\ m/s^2

Let d be the breaking distance. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{0^2-(25)^2}{2\times (-7)}\\\\d=44.64\ m

So, the required distance covered by the car is 44.64 m.

kherson [118]

The function of sleep theory supported by the illustration is sleep conserves and protects.

<h3>Positive impact of sleep</h3>

From the first sentence, bats sleep a lot because they face little danger from predators and as such, they have a high-calorie diet of insects.

<h3>Negative impact of sleep</h3>

From the second sentence, cows sleep less, because they face more danger from predators and as such, they have a low-calorie diet of insects.

We can conclude that sleep helps to keep animal safe. Therefore, the correct option will be, "Sleep conserves and protects".
