when the rear wheel of the cycle is spun in water the water is seen splashing over the wheel what kind of inertia is it?
Answers
Answer:
It is an example of directional inertia.
Explanation:
Because of inertia of direction when the water leave the rotating wheel, they try to follow a tangential linear motion due to the absence of external force on them
Answer:
The inertia of direction can explain the phenomenon of water splashing over the wheel when the wheel is rotated in the water.
Explanation:
Concept,
Newton's 1st law of motion(Law of inertia):
The inertia of rest: A body at rest tends to be at rest until and unless an external force acts on the body.
The inertia of motion: A body in uniform motion tends to be in motion unless an external force acts on a body
The inertia of direction: A body moving in a certain direction continues to move in the same direction unless an external force acts on the body.
Application,
When the rear wheel of the cycle is spun in water, the wheel applies some force on the water that is in contact with it, but after the application of force on the water by the wheel the water moves tangential to the wheel, and therefore, the water loses the contact with the wheel and seen splashing over the wheel in the direction to the movement of water.
Hence, the inertia of direction can explain the phenomenon of water splashing over the wheel, when the wheel is rotated in the water.
