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.

A ball on a string makes 25.0 revolutions in 9.37 s, in a circle radius 0.450 m. What is it’s velocity?
Sauron [17]

The velocity of the ball is 12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the ball is given by the ratio between the distance covered by the ball and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

First, we calculate the distance covered. We know that the radius of the circle is

r = 0.450 m

And the length of the circumference is

L=2\pi r = 2\pi(0.750)=4.7 m

The ball makes 25.0 revolutions, so a total distance of

d=(25.0)L=(25.0)(4.7)=117.5 m

In a time of

t = 9.37 s

So, its velocity is

v=\frac{117.5}{9.37}=12.5 m/s

A very smart 3-year-old child is given a wagon for her birthday. She refuses to use it. "After all," she says, "Newton's third l
natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

She's correct but doesn't mean the wagon cannot put into motion. The force that she applied on the wagon, according to Newton's 2nd law, would have generated an acceleration, which translates into motion. The reaction force the wagon applies on her due to Newton's 3rd law, would not hinder its own motion.

What phase difference between two identical traveling waves, moving in the same direction along a stretched string, results in t
Tom [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the amplitude of individual wave be I and resultant amplitude be 1.703 I . Let the phase difference be Ф in terms of degree

From the formula of resultant vector

(1.703I)² = I² + I² +  2 I² cosФ

2.9 I² = 2I² + 2 I² cosФ

.9I² = 2 I² cosФ

cosФ = .9 / 2

= .45

Ф = 63.25 .
