How does inertia explain why it is difficult to stop a moving skateboard?

Physics
1 answer:
My name is Ann [436]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(Example Person) has to push hard to get the skateboard started, but once it begins moving, it takes much less effort to keep it rolling over the smooth, flat pavement. In fact, if (Example Person) tries to stop the rolling skateboard, it may take as much effort to stop it as it did to start it rolling in the first place.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

Which celestial body would have the strongest gravitational pull on a satellite orbiting 100 km above its surface?
8090 [49]
According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the distance. In this problem, let's assume the celestial bodies to be restricted to the planets and the Sun. Since the distance is specified, the other factor would be the mass. Among all the celestial bodies, the Sun is the most massive. So, the Sun would cause the strongest gravitational pull to the satellite.

A weight suspended from a spring is seen to bob up and down over a distance of 20 cm triply each second. What is the period? Wha
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

1) Hence, the period is 0.33 s.

2) The amplitude is 10 cm.

Explanation:

1) The period is given by:

T = \frac{1}{f}

Where:

f: is the frequency = 3 bob up and down each second = 3 s⁻¹ = 3 Hz

T = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{3 Hz} = 0.33 s

Hence, the period is 0.33 s.

2) The amplitude is the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum position traveled by the spring. Since the spring is moving up and down over a distance of 20 cm, then the amplitude is:          

A = \frac{20 cm}{2} = 10 cm  

Therefore, the amplitude is 10 cm.          

I hope it helps you!

The force on the spring is F0 and it stores elastic potential energy PEs0. If the spring displacement is tripled to 3x0, determi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL)  =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW)  =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9

1. The picture below shows Jamal pushing with a 100-Newton (N) force on a large box. Neither
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

100 newtons

Explanation:

Given,

Jamal pushing a large box by a force, F = 100 N

Work done on the large box is, W = 0

It is because the applied force is less than the force of the friction between the two surfaces.

Yet, there will be a force that is exerted by the large box on Jamal.

According to newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction force is in the direction opposite to the force of action. But, their magnitude remains the same.

                                        F_{a} =-F_{r}

Hence, If the action force is 100 N, then the reaction force should be in 100 N
