The document discusses inertia and how it relates to motion. It defines inertia as the property of an object that resists changes to its motion. It explains that according to Newton's first law, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Real-world examples are provided to illustrate inertia, such as why seatbelts are important in vehicles.
Law of inertia
- 2. To explain the role of inertia in different situations; To determine the motion of the passenger inside the vehicles; and To state inertia in your own words.
- 3. Who have an idea of what is inertia? The property of a body that resists changes in a body’s condition of rest or of motion with constant velocity. The tendency of an object to persist in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line.
- 6. According to Newton's first law... An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by a force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a force. This law is often called "the law of inertia".
- 7. What does this mean? This means that there is a natural tendency of objects to keep on doing what they're doing. All objects resist changes in their state of motion. Example: Water
- 8. Anobject at rest will remain at rest. An object in motion will remain in motion.
- 9. This law is the same reason why you should always wear your seatbelt.
- 10. The mass measures the inertia in our body. “The more inertia a body has, the more difficult it is to start moving. It will also be more difficult to stop the body if it is originally in motion.”
- 11. Inertia is proportional to mass. Big masses resist changing their motion more than smaller masses. A lot of inertia! The Very little inertia. The large train resists small baby carriage has changing its motion. very little resistance to changes in motion.
- 14. A passenger sitting in the rear of a bus claims that he was injured when the driver slammed on the brakes, causing a suitcase at the front to come flying towards him. If you were the judge in this case, what disposition would you make and why?
- 15. Ariel is a good racer of both the car and the single motor. He is planning to join the national competition for each event. The problem is- both events have the same schedule. If you were Ariel, which competition would you choose? Justify your answer.
