    High School Formula of Inertia: Learn What It Is and How to Use It

    Yes.. Inertia is just the property which defines the resistance the moving or a stable object offers towards the external applied force. as the mass of the object increases its inertia increase.. its not quantifiable...

    High School About ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane

    the formula wat u have mentioned is applicable for an inclined plane... ie when we use an inclined plane for lifting a object of mass 'm' through a height 'h'. In general mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of resistance force divided by the effort u apply... ie its the number of times...

    High School Playing basketball on the moon

    First the basket ball court should be enclosed in a closed atmosphere and pressurised inside the court, since the atmospheric pressure on moon is one trillointh as of the Earth's atmosphere.

    Undergrad What are some advanced physics of formula one?

    Ya wat u said is true.. F1 cars are designed in such a way that in order to avoid the ground effect it is provided with wings as in a airplane. since the cars normally reaches a top speed of 330km/hr, chances are there for a lift to be created. In order to avoid the car from lifting the driver...

    Undergrad Water gushing out the barrel: Which barrel has the correct hole placement?

    the lower barrel is the right one. when u calculate the pressure of the fluid coming out of the nozzle, u will also have to add the pressure head of the liquid above the nozzle, which is equal to density of the fluid X Height of the fluid level above the nozzle. So the total pressure will be...

    High School Speed of sound super sonic jet

    Theoratically u can hear the sound when the jet nears you, and after it has crossed you. but not at the particular moment when the jet is infinitely close to u. But practically since this all happens in just a blink of a moment, u won't be able to realize or differentiate it... Hope u understand...

    Undergrad Moment of Inertia: Does Mass Matter?

    Please don't get confused with the area M.I & mass M.I. Both are different. area M.I is normally used when u calculate the bending moments and bending stresses in design of beams and structures. where as mass M.I is used in case of problems related to rotational dynamics. In Mass M.I the mass of...

    High School Explain Inertia: Science & Process

    Inertia ya i agree with u but as per ur reply u mean to say that we find it difficult to stop a moving object bcos of its momentum as the value of momentum is the product of the object's mass and its velocity. But if u consider the other case where the object is in rest, u need to apply more...

    High School Explain Inertia: Science & Process

    Inertia I agree tat inertia is not a quantity. but mass and shape of an defenitely plays a role in inertia. Inertia is proportional to the objects mass. As the mass of the object increase, its inertia also increases. tats y u find it difficult to stop a moving object which is of more weight...
