I’d think the answer would be C. i’m just kinda guessing but my thought process is this (as simply as i can put it because physics is confusing):

so for example say you throw a ball across a flat surface. inertia is what keeps the ball rolling straight in a line, so unless you were to maybe put your hand in front of the ball or something, it would just go straight forever.

this is what happens with the planets. they go in a straight line, but since there’s gravity, the planets are also being pulled towards the sun. so gravity and inertia are why the planets orbit in the circle pattern they do. so when we remove inertia, we’re removing the state in which the planets keep going straight while being pulled towards a center point (the sun). this causes gravity to be the only factor in the planets orbiting. so that being said, the planets would just be pulled towards the sun. :)

Answer:

10.125 meters?

Explanation:

Im taking 5.75m/s + 1.25 m/s/s (3.5) = my answer.

In those 3.5 seconds it travels 4.375.

I added that to 5.75 to get 10.125m

Given a force of 100 N and acceleration of 5 m/s2, what is the mass
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

20 kg

Explanation:

remember the equation f=ma.

100 N=force

5 m/s2= acceleration

so you need to divide force by acceleration: 100 N/ 5 m/s2= 20 kg, to get the mass.
