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 flat uniform circular disk (r= 2.00m,
dusya [7]

Incomplete question.The Complete question is here

A flat uniform circular disk (radius = 2.00 m, mass = 1.00 ✕ 102 kg) is initially stationary. The disk is free to rotate in the horizontal plane about a friction less axis perpendicular to the center of the disk. A 40.0-kg person, standing 1.25 m from the axis, begins to run on the disk in a circular path and has a tangential speed of 2.00 m/s relative to the ground.

a.) Find the resulting angular speed of the disk (in rad/s) and describe the direction of the rotation.

b.) Determine the time it takes for a spot marking the starting point to pass again beneath the runner's feet.

Answer:

(a)ω = 1 rad/s

(b)t = 2.41 s

Explanation:

(a) initial angular momentum = final angular momentum  

0 = L for disk + L............... for runner

0 = Iω² - mv²r ...................they're opposite in direction

0 = (MR²/2)(ω²) - mv²r ................where is ω is angular speed which is required in part (a) of question

0 = [(1.00×10²kg)(2.00 m)² / 2](ω²) - (40.0 kg)(2.00 m/s)²(1.25 m)

0=200ω²-200

200=200ω²

ω = 1 rad/s

b.)

lets assume the "starting point" is a point marked on the disk.

The person's angular speed is  

v/r = (2.00 m/s) / (1.25 m) = 1.6 rad/s

As the person and the disk are moving in opposite directions, the person will run part of a revolution and the turning disk would complete the whole revolution.

(angle) + (angle disk turns) = 2π

(1.6 rad/s)(t) + ωt = 2π

t[1.6 rad/s + 1 rad/s] = 2π

t = 2.41 s

A golf club hits a 0.04551 kg golf ball off a golf tee. The club is in contact with the ball for 0.020 s, and the force applied
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

v = 50.5 m/s

Explanation:

F = (m)(^v/^t)

115N = (0.04551kg)(v/(0.020s))

2,526.917161 m/s² = v/(0.020s)

v = 50.53834322 m/s

v = 50.5 m/s

What best describes the relationship between the frequency of an oscillation and the period of the oscillation?
ZanzabumX [31]

Explanation:

Let f is the frequency of an oscillation and T is the period of the oscillation. There exists an inverse relationship between the frequency and the time period of the oscillation. Mathematically, it is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{T}

Also, f=\dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}

So,

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}

The time taken to complete one oscillation is called the period of the oscillation and the number of oscillation is called the frequency if an oscillation.

How is the rotation of the sun, different from the rotation of the earth
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The Sun has a north and south pole, just as the Earth does, and rotates on its axis. However, unlike Earth which rotates at all latitudes every 24 hours, the Sun rotates every 25 days at the equator and takes progressively longer to rotate at higher latitudes, up to 35 days at the poles. This is known as differential rotation.

A bucket of water of mass 10 kg is pulled at constant velocity up to a platform 30 meters above the ground. This takes 10 minute
Rudik [331]

Answer:

W = 2352 J

Explanation:

Given that:

  • mass of the bucket, M = 10 kg
  • velocity of pulling the bucket, v = 3m.min^{-1}
  • height of the platform, h = 30 m
  • time taken, t = 10 min
  • rate of loss of water-mass, m = 0.4 kg.min^{-1}

Here, according to the given situation the bucket moves at the rate,

v=3 m.min^{-1}

The mass varies with the time as,

M=(10-0.4t) kg

Consider the time interval between t and t + ∆t. During this time the bucket moves a distance

∆x =  3∆t meters

So, during this interval change in work done,

∆W = m.g∆x

<u>For work calculation:</u>

W=\int_{0}^{10} [(10-0.4t).g\times 3] dt

W= 3\times 9.8\times [10t-\frac{0.4t^{2}}{2}]^{10}_{0}

W= 2352 J
