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:

Law of inertia is Newton's first law of motion..

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...

Who’s has bigger cross sectional area capillaries or aorta?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Even though the cross-sectional area of each capillary is extremely small compared to that of the large aorta, the total cross-sectional area of all the capillaries added together is about 1,300 times greater than the cross-sectional area of the aorta because there are so many capillaries

An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.

PtichkaEL [24]

Complete question is;

An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.

The results are shown in the image attached.

What figure is missing from the table?

Answer:

17.3 cm

Explanation:

The image attached showed values for load, extension and initial length.

Now, the first length there is 15.2 cm and as such it's corresponding extension is 0 because it has no preceding measured length.

The second measured length is 16.2 cm. Since it's initial measured length is 15.2 cm, then the extension has a formula; final length - initial length.

This gives: 16.2 - 15.2 = 1 cm

This corresponds to what is given in the table.

For the next measured length, it is blank but we are given the extension to be 2.1 cm. Now, since the initial measured length is 15.2 cm.

Thus;

2.1 cm = Final length - 15.2 cm

Final length = 15.2 + 2.1

Final length = 17.3 cm
