Which object has the greatest inertia?

2 answers:

8 0

The correct answer is
(1) a 15-kg mass traveling at 5.0 m/s
In fact, the inertia of an object depends only on its mass. The inertia gives a measure of "how hard is to put an object in motion", or "how hard is to stop an object in motion": the greater the mass, the larger the inertia of the object. In this problem, we have 4 objects, and the object with greatest mass is the first one (15 kg), therefore this is also the object with greatest inertia.

Option (1) is correct. The inertia is greatest for a 15 kg mass travelling at a speed of 15 m/s.

Further Explanation:

The inertia of a body is its capability or its tendency to remain in its state of rest or of motion until it is forced to change its state by means of an external agent.

The inertia of a body is a property which is totally dependent on the mass of the body because it requires an external force of higher magnitude in order to change the state of rest or motion of the heavier body whereas a lighter body requires a comparatively less amount of force.

The velocity of a body does not play a role in determining its inertia. The velocity plays its role in determining the momentum of the body.

As given in the above options, the body in the first option has the highest mass and therefore, the inertia of the body of mass $15\,{\text{kg}}$ will be the highest.

Thus, Option (1) is correct. The inertia is greatest for a 15 kg mass travelling at a speed of 15 m/s.

A box of mass 8 kg slides across a frictionless surface at an initial speed 1.5 m/s into a relaxed spring of spring constant 69

Sav [38]

Answer:

1.1 sec

Explanation:

m = mass of the box = 8 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 69 N/m

v = initial speed of the box = 1.5 m/s

t = time period of oscillation of box in contact with the spring

Time period is given as

$t = \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

Inserting the values

$t = (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{8}{69}}$

t = 1.1 sec

Helga [31]

The answer for this change in the magnitude of momentum is the same for both because momentum is always conserved so both vehicles have the identical change.
So for determining who has the greater change in kinetic energy, momentum (P) = mv so P^2 = m^2 v^2 P^2 / 2m = 1/2 m v^2 = energy So the weightier the mass the smaller the energy change for the same momentum change so in here, the car has a greater change in kinetic energy.

1) metal
Even though metalloids are also conductors of heat and electricity, malleable they are not as good as metals.
Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat. They are also very hard to touch. Noble gases and non metals are the exact opposite in physical and chemical properties. Metals readily react with oxygen.

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by
