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.

Two identical conducting spheres are placed 80.0 cm apart. One is given a charge of 5.8 C and the other is given a charge of 6.4
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: 5.214(10)^{11} N

Explanation:

According to <u>Coulomb's Law:</u>  

<em>"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".</em>

<em />

Mathematically this law is written as:

F_{E}=K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}  

Where:

F_{E}  is the electrostatic force

K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant  

q_{1}=5.8 C and q_{2}=6.4 C are the electric charges

d=80 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.8 m is the separation distance between the charges

Solving:

F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{(5.8 C)(6.4 C)}{(0.8 m)^{2}}  

F_{E}=5.214(10)^{11} N

The nine ring wraiths want to fly from barad-dur to rivendell. rivendell is directly north of barad-dur. the dark tower reports
Katarina [22]
The west constituent of their sequence needs to cancel out 58 mph crosswind. Subsequently a northwest direction is a 45-degree angle up to even with the destination. That is the third point out of the triangle and the right angle is at the destination. The top side is the west constituent of their flight the vertical side is their resultant travel and the hypotenuse is their definite distance flown. Since the 58 mph crosswind was negated by flying northwest, the distance from the beginning to the destination must be the same distance as the west component of their travel. The hypotenuse is square root of twice the side since it has 2 identical sides.

c = sqrt (58^2 + 58^2) = sqrt (6728) = 82.02 
 
Alternative solution:

c = sqrt (2) * 58 = 1.414 * 58 = 82.02

Therefore, they have to fly 82.02 mph
