Answer:
The correct option is;
The sports car, because it has less mass and therefore less inertia
Explanation:
Newton's first law of motion states that an object will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a force. The property exhibited by the object is known as inertia
Newton's second law states that force is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum produced
The rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force applied and is in the direction of the resultant force. The resultant force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.
Therefore, we have;
F = m·dv/dt = m×a
Given that the force required to move an object is directly proportional to its mass therefore, the inertia or the object resistance that requires a force to bring change is directly proportional to the mass of the object.
The mass of a sports car being considered lesser than the mass of the minivan will require less force to push and therefore has less inertia.
Between the top of the first and the top of the second loop, the coaster has lost potential energy = mgh, where h = 22.2 - 15 = 7.2m
This energy would have converted to Kinetic. Write out an equation and the masses will cancel out. Does that hint help you to find the solution? If not, I will give you another hint.
Answer: We can calculate it with the radioactive half life equation
Explanation:
If we already know the initial amount of radioactive material and its half life, we can leave that material for a specific known time and then measure how much of the material is left (since it follows the radioactive deacay) and use the results in the following formula:
Where:
is the final amount of the material
is the initial amount of the material
is the time elapsed
is the half life of the radioactive compound
The combustion of fossil fuels is releasing more co2 into the atmosphere then what would occur naturally
