3. Which of the following describes the relationship between friction and inertia? (1 point)
When there is more friction, there is less inertia.
When there is less friction, there is more inertia.
When there is more friction, there is more inertia.
When there is no friction, there is more inertia.
IS IT A, OR C!!???
PLS HELP ASAP!!!!!
thanx in advance
poop nuggets
Thank you, Anonymous!!!!! it was right!:)
Is it a or c?
Is it A or C???
The correct answer is A. When there is more friction, there is less inertia.
To understand this relationship between friction and inertia, let's define these terms first.
Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface. It acts in the opposite direction to the motion or the attempted motion of the object.
Inertia, on the other hand, is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. It is related to an object's mass, with more massive objects having greater inertia.
Now, let's analyze the given answer choices:
A. When there is more friction, there is less inertia.
B. When there is less friction, there is more inertia.
C. When there is more friction, there is more inertia.
D. When there is no friction, there is more inertia.
Among these options, A is the correct answer. This is because friction acts against the motion of an object, reducing its ability to move freely. When there is more friction, it requires more force to overcome it and maintain motion. This increased resistance leads to less inertia, as it becomes harder to overcome the object's tendency to resist changes in motion.
Conversely, option B is incorrect since less friction allows an object to move more easily, meaning less force is needed to maintain its motion. This results in an increase in inertia.
Option C is also incorrect. While friction does not directly affect an object's inertia, having more friction does not cause an increase in inertia.
Finally, option D is incorrect. When there is no friction, an object can move effortlessly without any opposing force. This absence of friction does not result in more inertia, but rather in the absence of any force hindering an object's motion.
If you are uncertain about a question like this in the future, it is helpful to understand the definitions of the terms being used and logically analyze the relationship between them.
