Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.
Answer:
The box will experience an acceleration.
Explanation:
Here, 2 N and 3 N forces are acting opposite to each other. In this case, the net force experience by the box would be (3-2)N = 1 N towards right. Since acceleration is directly proportional to the net force, therefore the box will experience an acceleration.
Answer:
The torque about the origin is 
Explanation:
Torque 
is the cross product between force 
and vector position 
respect a fixed point (in our case the origin):
There are multiple ways to calculate a cross product but we're going to use most common method, finding the determinant of the matrix:
![\overrightarrow{r}\times\overrightarrow{F} =-\left[\begin{array}{ccc} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k}\\ F1_{x} & F1_{y} & F1_{z}\\ r_{x} & r_{y} & r_{z}\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Coverrightarrow%7Br%7D%5Ctimes%5Coverrightarrow%7BF%7D%20%3D-%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D%20%5Chat%7Bi%7D%20%26%20%5Chat%7Bj%7D%20%26%20%5Chat%7Bk%7D%5C%5C%20F1_%7Bx%7D%20%26%20F1_%7By%7D%20%26%20F1_%7Bz%7D%5C%5C%20r_%7Bx%7D%20%26%20r_%7By%7D%20%26%20r_%7Bz%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Answer:
Option ( B ) is correct .
Explanation:
To lift a heavy weight , inclined plane is used . Use of inclined plane , makes the task easier because instead of force mg , force mg sinθ is to be used which is less than mg . Here θ is inclination of inclined plane.
If h be the height by which weight is to be lifted
potential energy acquired by weight = mgh
work done by force mg sinθ = mgsinθ x d where d is displacement required .
mg sinθ x d = mgh ( work done by force = potential energy stored in luggage )
d = h / sinθ
d will be more than h
Hence inclined plane increases the distance to be covered by force applied though it decreases the force itself.
Hence option ( B ) is correct .
