Answer:
Newton's First Law of Motion.
Explanation:
Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion is known as law of inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
In this scenario, a girl pushes her little brother down a snowy hill on a sled and he rides quickly to the bottom of the hill. The push from the little boy's sister is the external force acting on him and consequently, causing him to be in motion down the snowy hill.
A highway speed limit is posted as 90 km/hr. Is this average speed or instantaneous speed? Explain your answer.
An object of mass m is placed on Spring A, which is compressed by distance x. The spring is released and the velocity of the pushed object as it leaves the spring is measured. The experiment is repeated with the same object on Spring B, which is compressed by the same distance x. The object travels faster when pushed by Spring B. What can be concluded?
A .Spring A had a higher elastic potential energy than Spring B.
B. Spring A's spring constant is higher than Spring B's.
C. Spring A's spring constant is lower than Spring B's.
D. Spring A has more mass than Spring B.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
While driving his sports car at 20.0 m/s through a residential neighborhood, Royston
comes up behind a slow-moving grandma and decides to pass her on the left. If
Royston can accelerate at 6.00 m/s2, how long will it take for him to reach a velocity of
30.0 m/s?
Answer:
1.67s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 20m/s
Acceleration = 6m/s²
Final velocity = 30m/s
Unknown:
Time taken = ?
Solution:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. It is mathematically expressed as;
Acceleration = [tex]\frac{v - u }{t}[/tex]
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken
6 =[tex]\frac{30 - 20}{t}[/tex]
6 = [tex]\frac{10}{t}[/tex]
10 = 6t
t = 1.67s
