If your motorcycle runs out of fuel while you are driving, the engine stops but you do not come to an immediate stop. The concept that most explains why this occurs is

A. Resistance

B. Gravity

C. Acceleration

D. Inertia

A box is lowered using a rope. If the acceleration of the box, is 2.5 m/s2 (downward) and the tension in the rope is 31 N, what is the mass of the box (in kg) ?

Why is it so good for scientists to be skeptical

You quickly flick a limp jump rope that is held firmly by a friend at the other end. What happens? The up-and-down movement of your hand creates a longitudinal wave. The up-and-down movement of your hand creates a transverse wave.

An acorn falls from a branch located 9.8 m above the ground. After 1 s of falling, the acorn's velocity will be 9.8 m/s downward. Why hasn't the acorn hit the ground?

When we are near a sunspot maximum, the Hubble Space Telescope must be out in a higher orbit. Why?

How does the tilt of Earth's axis affect how the sun's rays strike Earth?

A stone is tied to s string and whirled around in a circle at constant speed. Is the string more likely to break when the circle is horizontal or when it is vertical? Account for your answer, assuming the constant speed is the same.

Two blocks, stacked one on top of the other, slide on a frictionless horizontal surface. The surface between the two blocks is rough, however, with a coefficient of static friction equal to 0.50. The top block has a mass of 2.
