Explain the term inertia​

Physics
1 answer:
andreyandreev [35.5K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Inertia is the force that keeps an object at rest. Inertia is referred to as the property which results in it continuing in the state of rest that it is unless there's an external force that acts upon it.

Inertia keeps objects and things in place and it holds the universe together. When there's no force that's acting in an object, such object will continue to move in a straight line and also at a constant speed.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

(a)

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b)

v = 13.74 km/s

(c) E = 0.28 N/kg

Explanation:

Time period, T = 3.55 days = 3.55 x 24 x 3600 second = 306720 s

Radius, r = 6.71 x 10^8 m

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

(a) T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{GM}}

M=\frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GT^{2}}

M=\frac{4\times3.14^{2}\times 6.71^{3}\times 10^{24}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 306720^{2}}

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b) Let v be the orbital velocity

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}

v=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 6.71\times 10^{8}}{306720}

v = 13739.5 m/s

v = 13.74 km/s

(b) The gravitational field E is given by

E = \frac{GM}{r^{2}}

E = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.898\times 10^{27}}{6.71^{2}\times 10^{16}}

E = 0.28 N/kg

For high and low tides differences would they be caused by the moon and how?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
The moon has a small amount of gravity. Low tides mean the moon is not pulling on the water. High tides mean that the moon is pulling on the water.

A certain quantity of a liquid has a volume of 10cm at 20°C. Calculate its volume at 50°C, if it’s cubic expansivity is 10^(-3)
Pavel [41]

Answer:

10.3 cm³

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original volume (V₁) = 10 cm³

Initial temperature (θ₁) = 20 °C

Final temperature (θ₂) = 50 °C

Cubic expansivity (γ) = 10¯³ K¯¹

Final volume (V₂) =?

γ = V₂ – V₁ / V₁(θ₂ – θ₁)

10¯³ = V₂ – 10 / 10( 50 – 20)

10¯³ = V₂ – 10 / 10(30)

10¯³ = V₂ – 10 / 300

Cross multiply

10¯³ × 300 = V₂ – 10

0.3 = V₂ – 10

Collect like terms

0.3 + 10 = V₂

10.3 = V₂

V₂ = 10.3 cm³

Thus, the volume at 50 °C is 10.3 cm³
