A

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by a force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a force.

Answer:

<em>Law</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>inertia</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>Newton's</em><em> </em><em>first</em><em> </em><em>law</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>motion</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em> </em>

Explanation:

It means that a body will tend to be in it's motion or tend to move in a straight line unless any external force is acted upon it..

Eg: while you are travelling in bus.. If breaks are suddenly applied your body falls forward because you were in motion with bus but it tries to be in motion when breaks are applied...

A car moving at 50 miles per hour speeds up steadily to 70 miles per hour over a period of 30 minutes. How far did it travel dur
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The car will travel 30 miles during the 30-minutes period of acceleration.

Explanation:

Given data :

Initial velocity = v₁ = 50 miles/hour

Final velocity = v₂ = 70 miles/hour

Time = t = 30 min = 0.5 hour

Using the definition of acceleration, we find the acceleration (a)

                   a = (v₂ - v₁) ÷ t

                   a = (70 - 50) ÷ 0.5

                   a = 20 ÷ 0.5

                   a = 40 miles/hour²

Using 3rd equation of motion, we find the distance travel (s)

                    2as = v₂² -  v₁²

                    2(40)s = 70² - 50²

                    80 × s = 4900 - 2500

                         s = 2400 ÷ 80

                        s = 30 miles

Which wave must have a medium to travel?
o-na [289]

Letter B

without a medium, there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast- medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.

Nady [450]
Fk = μK N

N = m a

N = 4 × a

N = 4a

Fk = μK N

17 = 5 × 4a

17 = 20 a

a = ¹⁷/₂₀ = 0.85 m/s²
