Answer:

NO.

Explanation:

No, It does not mean that the acceleration of the car will be higher.

The car and the truck are moving in the same direction but may have any value of acceleration. Higher velocity of car cannot imply higher acceleration. Acceleration is change in velocity to the change in time. Even if the velocity of car is higher it does not mean its change in velocity will be higher.

The law of inertia is the second name for Newton's first law of motion, which states that B) a body in motion will continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

The reason that space crafts do not need to be propelled is because there is no frictional force slowing them down as there would be on earth. This means that the craft keeps moving, according to the law of inertia.

Answer:

The charge to mass ratio is -1.76\times10^{11}

Explanation:

Mass\ of\ electron=m_e=9.11\times10^{-31} kg\\ Charge\ of\ the\ electron=q_e=-1.60\times10^{-19} C\\

We need to find how much charge is contained  in the electron per unit of mass, to do this we divide the charge in an electron and the mass of an electron:

\frac{Charge\ of\ electron}{Mass\ of\ electron}=\frac{q_e}{m_e}\frac{C}{kg}=\frac{-1.60\times10^{-19} C}{9.11\times10^{-31} kg}=-1.76\times10^{11} \frac{C}{kg}
