Question
- which statement is true about mass and inertia?
a. the greater the mass, the more inertia an object has
b. the smaller the mass, the slower it will go
c. the greater the inertia, the more mass an object has
d. the greater the inertia, the greater the acceleration
- an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion, unless acted on by an unbalanced force. also called the law of inertia. what law is this?
law 1
law 2
law 3
- for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. which law is this?
Brief Explanations
- Question 4:
- Newton's second law \(F = ma\) (where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration) shows that mass and inertia are directly related. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, and mass is a measure of inertia.
- Question 5:
- Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This is also known as the law of inertia.
- Question 6:
- Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
