Why does it take more force to get a resting object to move than it does to keep

Physics
1 answer:
Triss [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Objects have a natural tendency to resist change. ... Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects. Example: Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop.

Assume your car reaches a speed of 21.7 m/s at a steady rate for 5.05 s after the light turns green. (a) What distance have you
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The distance and average speed are 54.79 m and 10.85 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 21.7 m/s

Time = 5.05 s

(a). We need to calculate the distance

Firstly we will find the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v = u+at

a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time

Put the value in the equation

a = \dfrac{21.7-0}{5.05}

a = 4.297 m/s^2

Now, using equation of motion again

For distance,

s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s = 0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times4.3\times(5.05)^2

s=54.79\ m

The distance is 54.79 m.

(b). We need to calculate the average speed during this time

v_{avg}=\dfrac{D}{T}

Where, D = total distance

T = time

Put the value into the formula

v_{avg}=\dfrac{54.79}{5.05}

v_{avg}=10.85\ m/s

Hence, The distance and average speed are 54.79 m and 10.85 m.

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?
postnew [5]

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.

Some scientists hypothesize that icy debris arrived on other terrestrial planets in a similar manner to how it arrived on Earth.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Temperatures on Earth are ideal for water to exist in solid, liquid, and gaseous forms.

Earth's gravity holds the water vapor in Earth's atmosphere close to its surface.

Two identical carts travel at the same speed toward each other, and then a collision occurs. The graphs show the momentum of eac
madam [21]

Explanation :

The interaction between two objects is termed as the collision. The collision can be of two types i.e. elastic collision and inelastic collision.

In this case, two identical carts travel at the same speed toward each other, and then a collision occurs. In an inelastic collision, the momentum before and after the collision remains the same but its kinetic energy gets lost.

After the collision, both the object sticks over each other and moves with one velocity.

Out of the given graph, the graph that shows a perfectly inelastic collision is attached. It shows that after the collision both the carts move with the same velocity.

How would you go about measuring the speed of a vehicle? What measurements would you have to take? What calculations would you h
White raven [17]

Answer:

For a body moving at a uniform velocity you can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took, for example one mile in 1/2 hour would give you 2 miles per hour. If the velocity is non-uniform all you can say is what the average speed is.
