Which of the following statements are correct? i)The natural tendency of objects to resist a change in their state of rest or of uniform motion is called inertia. ii) The mass of an object is a measure of its inertia. iii) SI unit of mass is kg.
Which of the following statements are correct? i)The natural tendency of objects to resist a change in their state of rest or of uniform motion is called inertia. ii) The mass of an object is a measure of its inertia. iii) SI unit of mass is kg. Correct Answer All i, ii and iii
Concept:
Newton’s First Law
- It states that if A body continues to be in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line, unless it is acted upon by some external force to change the state.
- If no net force acts on a body, then the velocity of the body cannot change i.e. the body cannot accelerate.
- Newton’s first law defines inertia and is rightly called the law of inertia.
Inertia
- An inherent property of all the bodies by virtue of which they cannot change their state of rest or uniform motion along a straight line by their own is called inertia.
- Inertia is not a physical quantity, it is only a property of the body which depends on the mass of the body.
- Inertia has no units and no dimensions.
Explanation:
Now in our case,
- If we have two bodies of equal mass, one in motion and another is at rest, possess the same inertia because it is a factor of mass only and does not depend upon the velocity.
- For example - A bag placed in a room will be placed there only until an external force that is you or any family member will move it.
- The mass of an object is a measure of its inertia.
- SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).
So by these all the options i, ii,iii are correct.
