What would be harder to accelerate- a 4kg shot put ball or a 2,000 kg boulder

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

<h2>2,000 kg boulder</h2>

Explanation:t

The Inertial is the resistance of a body at rest to be in motion

Given the following  item

1. 4kg shot put ball  

2. 2,000 kg boulder

The body of greater mass has greater inertia, hence would be harder to accelerate.

<em> An object with a small inertial mass will accelerate more than an object with a large inertial mass when acted upon by the same force.</em>

Of the 2 items in the list, the 2,000 kg boulder has the largest mass, hence it also has the greater inertial  and more difficult to accelerate.

A 300 kg buffalo runs across the prairie with a speed of 8 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the Buffalo? A:19,200 j B:9600 j C
alina1380 [7]
<h2>Answer: 9600 J</h2>

The kinetic energy K  of a body is that energy it possesses due to its movement and is defined as:

K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}

Where m is the mass of the body and V its velocity .

This has to do with the speed of an object and how much mass it has; basically how the object is moving.

Now, according to this equation and knowing that the mass of the buffalo is m=300kg  and its velocity V=8m/s :

K=\frac{1}{2}(300kg)(8m/s)^{2}

K=9600J

Therefore the correct option is B.

explain why if charge cannot be created or destroyed, electrically neutral objects can become electrically charged
natali 33 [55]
Charge is actually either excessive number or electrons or shortage of them.
as you can't destroy the electron or create it - you can't destroy or create charge

Which occurs when a wave is reflected?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The wave can flip upside down.

Reflection is the bending of a wave when it cannot pass through. For example, plain mirrors which are flat, a ray of light hits the mirror and is reflected from the mirror since it cannot pass through  

When reflection occurs the speed and frequency of the wave does not change but the wave is flipped upside down.

The speed does not change because speed is affected by the change in medium the frequency also remains the same since the energy of the wave does not change.
