Answer:

The law of inertia is another name for Newton's first law. Newton's first law states that an object will not change its motion or direction unless a force acts on it. An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion if there isn't any force acting on them.

Example: When a car uses its brakes to stop, you sometimes feel like you are sliding forward. That is because the inertia keeps you moving forward, even though the car stopped.

Answer

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed, when no forces act upon them.

A 5-kg ball collides inelastically head-on with a 10-kg ball, which is initially stationary. Which of the following statements i

NARA [144]

Answer:

The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball.

Explanation:

In inelastic collision, the total momentum is always conserved after collision but the kinetic energy is reduced.

Momentum is Mass X velocity.

5 kg ball is in motion, while 10 kg ball is stationary; that is zero velocity.

The momentum of 10 kg ball before collision is zero while the momentum of 5 kg ball before collision is more than zero. Therefore, the magnitude of change in momentum will not be equal.

Next possible options are in kinetic Energy

Initial Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

Final kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Change in kinetic energy = Final Kinetic Energy - Initial Kinetic Energy

Change in kinetic energy of 5kg ball = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-u)^2$

Since the 5-kg ball has initial velocity (u), the magnitude of the change in velocity will be reduced.

Change in kinetic energy of 10kg ball:

the ball is initially at rest, therefore the initial velocity (u) will be zero (0)

Δ K.E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-u)^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-0)^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

From the solution above, the magnitude of the change in velocity experienced by 10 kg ball is higher than 5 kg ball.

Hence, The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball

1. What is static electricity?

cluponka [151]

Answer:

<h3>a stationary electric charge, typically produced by friction, which causes sparks or crackling or the attraction of dust or hair.Static electricity has several uses, also called applications, in the real world. One main use is in printers and photocopiers where static electric charges attract the ink, or toner, to the paper. Other uses include paint sprayers, air filters, and dust removal. Static electricity can also cause damage.Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge.</h3>
