Hi Pupil Here is Your Answer ::





➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡





The tendency of a body to oppose any change in its state of rest is known as inertia of rest.


Example :


1 ) A person standing in a bus Falls backward when the bus suddenly starts moving forward.




Reason》When the bus Moves, the lower part of his party begins to move along with the bus by the upper part of his body continues to remain at rest due to inertia of rest.


That is why, a person Falls backward when the bus suddenly starts.

In attempting to pull a 1500 kg car out of a ditch, Al exerts a force of 200 N for 5 s, Bill exerts a force of 500 N for two s,
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Clyde will provide greater impulse

Explanation:

We have given that Al exerts a force of 200 N for 5 sec

We know that impulse is given by, impulse = force ×time = 200×5 =1000 N-s

Bill exerts a force of 500 N for 2 sec

So impulse = 500×2 = 1000 N-s

Now the force exerted by Clyde 300 N for 4 sec

So impulse = 300×4 = 1200 N-s

From above calculation we can see that Clyde provide greater impulse than any other

A car traveling at 21 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 13 seconds. What is its acceleration?
diamong [38]

The formula for acceleration is the velocity times the inverse of time so it would be 21 times 1/13. So roughly 0.0769... is the acceleration(m/s^2).
