Answer:

Inertia

Explanation:

Inertia is best defined as the ability of an object to resist a change in position or movement. That is why when an object has a higher mass, the higher the inertia. Imagine an oncoming truck that is fully loaded versus you. The tendency for the truck to change its movement would be difficult because of its its mass. It has a lot of inertia.

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation. 2-3 sentence
Anarel [89]

Answer:

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. This change occurs due to the interaction between the magnetic field of magnets and the magnetic field due to the  electric current in the  loop. The interaction between the two produces a torque that makes the loop rotate on a shaft.

Give a qualitative description of the skydiver's motion after jumping out of the plane.​
umka2103 [35]

Explanation:

They will have not much control over their speed or rotational energy. they will carry a lot of gravitation potential energy which will get converted to kinetic energy as they fall through the atmosphere. They will reach their terminal velocity, the fastest they can travel with earth's gravity before they pull their parachute, when they use a parachute to extend their surface area, increasing wind resistance. this allows them to land safely.

Two rockets are fired at each other with initial velocities of 150m/s150m/s and are 6000m6000m apart. The first rocket is accele
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

3469.788 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

First rocket

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=150\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=150t+2.5t^2\ m

Second rocket

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=150\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=150t+7.5t^2\ m

When this will collide the total distance they would have covered would be 6000 m.

6000=150t+2.5t^2+150t+7.5t^2\\\Rightarrow 6000=300t+10t^2\\\Rightarrow 10t^2+300t-6000=0

t=5\left(\sqrt{33}-3\right),\:t=-5\left(3+\sqrt{33}\right)\\\Rightarrow t=13.72, -43.72

Hence at 13.72 seconds they will collide assuming they are launched at the same time.

s=150t+7.5t^2\\\Rightarrow s=150\times 13.72+7.5\times 13.72^2\\\Rightarrow s=3469.788\ m

The second rocket would have gone 3469.788 m when they collide
