Which of the following is a measure of inertia?

Accepted Answer

Mass is the measure of inertia of an object. The greater the mass, the greater is the inertia and vice-versa.

Question 2

According to the third law of motion, action and reaction:

Accepted Answer

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction act on two different bodies in opposite directions and are equal in magnitude.

Question 3

The SI unit of force is:

Accepted Answer

The SI unit of force is Newton (N), which is equivalent to kg·m/s².

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity of an object ($p = m 	imes v$).

Question 5
