Please Help!What is inertia? What does inertia depend on?

1 answer:

8 0

Inertia is that quantity which depends solely upon mass. The more mass, the more inertia. Momentum is another quantity in Physics which depends on both mass and speed.

An object is given a very small amount of charge. Which of the following could

spayn [35]

5.4*10^-19 C

Explanation:

For the purposes of this question, charges essentially come in packages that are the size of an electron (or proton since they have the same magnitude of charge). The charge on an electron is -1.6*10^-19

Therefore, any object should have a charge that is a multiple of the charge of an electron - It would not make sense to have a charge equivalent to 1.5 electrons since you can't exactly split the electron in half. So the charge of any integer number of electrons can be transferred to another object.

Charge = q(electron)*n(#electrons)

Since 5.4/1.6 = 3.375, we know that it can not be the right answer because the answer is not an integer.

If you divide every other option listed by the charge of an electron, you will get an integer number.

(16*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 10

(-6.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = -4

(4.8*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3

(5.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3.375

(3.2*10^-19C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 2

etc.

I hope this helps!

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration

lidiya [134]

Answer:

1.4m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken.

Average velocity = $\frac{total distance }{time }$

Total time taken = 5s + 6s = 11s

The first distance covered = velocity x time = 1.4 x 5 = 7m

second distance covered = velocity x time = 1.4 x 6 = 8.4m

So;

Average velocity = $\frac{7 + 8.4}{11}$ = 1.4m/s

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } t)$

Explanation:

We first identify the elements of this simple harmonic motion:

The amplitude A is 8.8cm, because it's the maximum distance the mass can go away from the equilibrium point. In meters, it is equivalent to 0.088m.

The angular frequency ω can be calculated with the formula:

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the particle.

Now, since the spring starts stretched at its maximum, the appropriate function to use is the positive cosine in the equation of simple harmonic motion:

$x=A\cos(\omega t)$

Finally, the equation of the motion of the system is:

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\omega t)$

$x=(0.088m)\cos(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } t)$
