Name the properties of the body which resists the change in its velocity . Describe a simple experiment to demonstrate this property ?
Answers
Answer:
The property of a body which resists the change in velocity is called it's Inertia. The concept of inertia can be explained by Newton's First Law of Motion which is often referred to as 'The Law of Inertia'.
Explanation:
Experiment 1 :
1. Take a bucket
2. Fill the bucket completely with water.
3. Now, push the bucket so that you can displace it.
4. As you would be displacing it some water will fall behind you because it wanted it's velocity to remain at 0m/s.
Experiment 2 :
(Well, this experiment was performed by the great physicist Richard Philips Feynman without realising in his childhood)
1. Take a trolley.
2. Put a ball in the trolley.
3. Push the trolley.
4. The ball will move backwards to try to retain it's initial position.
Well there are many other interesting experiments to experience this interesting phenomenon, you can learn about them and try them also.
