A student is investigating inertia using four boxes of different masses. The student pushes each box across a flat surface with the same amount of force which statement is true about the investigation.A. Box a travel to fathers because it has the most inertia.B. Box be travels less than box say because it has more inertia.C. Boxy travels more than box babe, because it has more inertia.D. Box day, travel, delays, because it has the lowest amount of inertia.

Question

A student is investigating inertia using four boxes of different masses. The student pushes each box across a flat surface with the same amount of force which statement is true about the investigation.A. Box a travel to fathers because it has the most inertia.B. Box be travels less than box say because it has more inertia.C. Boxy travels more than box babe, because it has more inertia.D. Box day, travel, delays, because it has the lowest amount of inertia.

Answer 1

The correct statement about the investigation would be:

C. Box Y travels more than box X, because it has more inertia.

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. Objects with greater mass have greater inertia. Therefore, if the student pushes each box with the same amount of force, the box with more mass (greater inertia) will require more force to overcome its resistance to motion and travel less compared to the box with less mass (lower inertia).
