Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion.

According to Newton's First Law of Motion states that an body at rest will remain at rest or move at a constant speed in a straight line unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force.


The train is this case is moving forward it will continue to move forward unless friction or the brakes interfere with its movement. Say for instance the train abruptly accelerated then the passengers may feel it as though their bodies are moving backward. In reality, inertia is making the body want to stay in place as the train moves forward.

A spring (k = 200 N/m) is fixed at the top of a frictionless plane inclined at angle θ = 33 °. A 1.2 kg block is projected up th
Serga [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial kinetic energy = 29 J

work done against gravity = mgsin33 x d  , m is mass of the block

= 1.2 x 9.8 sin 33 x .9

= 5.76 J

potential energy stored in compressed spring

= 1/2 k x², k is spring constant and x is compression

= .5 x 200 x .3²

= 9

energy left = 29 - ( 5.76 + 9 )

= 14.24 J

b )

energy stored in spring when compression is .4 m

= 1/2 x 200 x .4²

= 16 J

required kinetic energy = 16 + 5.76

= 21.76 J

Block must be projected with energy of 21.76 J .

Refraction occurs through a glass slab why​
masha68 [24]

Answer:

One when it enters the glass slab from air and second time when it enters the air through glass slab. When light rays travelling through air enters glass slab, they get refracted and bend towards the normal. Now the direction of refracted ray changes again when it comes out of the glass slab into air.

A dolphin keeps up with a boat for a distance of 51 miles for 3 hours. What is the dolphin’s average speed?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The dolphin's speed is 17 mi/h

Explanation:

Use the formula for average velocity: Distance/time

then the average speed of the dolphin is 51/3  mi/h = 17 mi/h

Give Example of mental flexibility
Inessa [10]

Answer:

If you ring the doorbell and no one opens the door, you'll infer that no one is home rather than continuing to ring the doorbell to an empty house. Being able to understand this and look for another solution is another example of mental flexibility.
