At the end of the day, a zookeeper had a difficult time moving the elephant back inside for the evening. The elephant is difficult to move because
a.it has unbalanced forces acting on it.
b.it has high a high amount of momentum.
c.it has balanced forces acting on it.
d.it has a high amount of inertia.
my answer is b
Momentum Quiz
1. 600kg m/s
2. A 150/of dolphin swimming at 18m/s
3. 32kg m/s
4. The object with the smaller mass has a greater velocity
5. 1N
6. The rocket will move forward
7. In the absence of outside forces
8. It has a high amount of inertia
The correct answer is d. it has a high amount of inertia.
To explain why an elephant is difficult to move, we need to understand the concept of inertia. Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in its state of motion. It depends on the mass of the object.
In this case, an elephant has a high amount of mass, which means it has a high amount of inertia. Moving an object with a high amount of inertia requires a greater force.
When the zookeeper tries to move the elephant, they need to exert a significant force to overcome the elephant's inertia and get it to change its state of motion. The elephant's mass makes it more challenging to accelerate or change its direction. This is why the elephant is difficult to move.
So in summary, the correct answer is d. The elephant is difficult to move because it has a high amount of inertia.
