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. :)

If a body of 2kg mass is at a distance of 7200km from the center of the earth .What
wlad13 [49]

None of the choices is correct.

== The Earth's radius is 6,371 km.  That's how far you are from the center of the Earth when you're on the ground.

== The acceleration of gravity on the ground is 9.8 m/s² .

== The acceleration of gravity varies inversely as the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.  So, at 7,200 km from the center, it's

(9.8 m/s²) · (6371km/7200km)² .

Stuffing this through your cakulator, you'll get  <em>7.67 m/s²</em> .

You are riding a skateboard and hit a hole in the street, causing you to fly off the board and crash. Which law represents this
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. Using unbalanced forces to control the motion of a skateboard demonstrates Newton's first law of motion.

Hope it helps

It's important to maintain muscle flexibility by stretching only after aerobic exercise.
lions [1.4K]

Answer: Most aerobic and strength training programs cause your muscles to contract and tighten. So stretching after you exercise helps optimize the range of motion about your joints and boosts circulation.

Hope this helps!

A railroad car of mass 3.45 ✕ 104 kg moving at 2.60 m/s collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same ma
Alex

Answer:

a) 1.67 m/s

b) 23kJ

Explanation:

We need to apply the linear momentum conservation formula, that states:

m1*v_{o1}+m2*v_{o2}=m1*v_{f1}+m2*v_{f2}

in this case:

3.45*10^4kg*2.60m/s+2*3.45*10^4kg*1.20m/s=3*m1*v_{f}\\v_f=1.67m/s

the initital kinetic energy is:

K_i=\frac{1}{2}*3.45*10^4kg*(2.60m/s)^2+2(\frac{1}{2}*3.45*10^4kg*(1.20m/s)^2\\K_i=167kJ

and the final:

K_f=3*\frac{1}{2}*3.45*10^4kg*(1.67m/s)^2\\K_f=144kJ

The energy lost is given by:

E_l=|K_f-K_i|\\E_l=23kJ
