The more mass the vehicle has, the more that is needed to stop the vehicle in motion.

Whenever a vehicle is in motion, it has got kinetic energy. Kinetic energy has a direct relationship with the stopping distance. Kinetic energy is dependent on the mass of the vehicle and also the velocity at which it is traveling. In case of a small vehicle, the mass of the vehicle will be small and so the stopping distance will also be less compared to a large vehicle. In the case of the large vehicle traveling at the same velocity as the small vehicle, the stopping distance will be greater becuse the large vehicle has a larger mass. So in case of a small vehicle the kinetic energy will be less and so the distance for stopping will be less than that of the large vehicle.

the gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.21 N down, a pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 18.0 m/s by u

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

To have a weight of 2.21N., the ball's mass is (2.21/9.8) = .226kg.
a) d = 1/2 (vt), = 1/2 (18 x .17), = 1.53m. 
b) Acceleration of the ball = (v/t), = 18/.17, = 105.88m/sec^2. 
f = (ma), = .226 x 105.88, = 23.92N.

A large magnetic flux change through a coil must induce a greater emf in the coil than a small flux change. A) True B) False

bixtya [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Faraday's law gives the relationship between the induced emf and the rate of change of magnetic flux i.e.

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}$

The given statement "A large magnetic flux change through a coil must induce a greater emf in the coil than a small flux change" is false. The reason is that if the rate of change of magnetic flux is greater, then its will induce more emf. It would mean it does not say about emf.

Hence, it is false.
