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.

What happens to the coefficient of friction when the weight is increased? Why is this?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Usually the coefficient of friction remains unchanged

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, friction is increased when normal force is increased.

Plus, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force.

A 594 Ω resistor, an uncharged 1.3 μF capacitor, and a 6.53 V emf are connected in series. What is the current in milliamps afte
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

6.88 mA

Explanation:

Given:

Resistance, R = 594 Ω

Capacitance = 1.3 μF

emf, V = 6.53 V

Time, t = 1 time constant

Now,

The initial current, I₀ = \frac{\textup{V}}{\textup{R}}

or

I₀ = \frac{\textup{6.53}}{\textup{594}}

or

I₀ = 0.0109 A

also,

I = I_0[1-e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}]

here,

τ = time constant

e = 2.717

on substituting the respective values, we get

I = 0.0109[1-e^{-\frac{\tau}{\tau}}]

or

I = 0.0109[1-2.717^{-1}]

or

I = 0.00688 A

or

I = 6.88 mA

To get an idea of how much thermal energy is contained in the world's oceans, estimate the heat liberated when a cube of ocean w
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J

Explanation:

Thermal energy can be calculated with  

      Q = m c_{e} ΔT

in this case it indicates that we approximate seawater to pure water with  

    c_{e} = 4186 J/ kg K  

with the density

    ρ = m / V  

    m = ρ V  

    V = L³  

we substitute  

   m = ρ L³  

   Q = ρ L3 c_{e} ΔT

calculate  

   Q = 1000 (3 103) 3 4186 4  

   Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J
