If a moose were chasing you through the woods, its enormous mass would be very threatening. But
if you zigzagged, then its great mass would be to your advantage. Explain why.

Respuesta :

A large-massed object has considerable difficulty changing its state of motion. This is inertia. A change in direction is a change in the state of motion. By zigzagging, you can take advantage of the large inertia of the moose. You will make the turn but the moose will have a tendency to go straight.

Basically, its own inertia would interfere with its running because its own mass would resist more.

The zigzag motion would make the Moose weight an advantage to you because of inertia.

Inertia:

  • Refers to the resistance put up by a body when it is forced to change direction
  • Results in the body continuing to move in the previous direction when it has been forced to change direction
  • Works more on heavier bodies than on lighter ones

The Moose has a huge mass and as you run in a zigzag direction, it will be forced to run that way as well. Inertia however, would mean that it would be unable to change direction as easily as you can and so will lag behind you.

In conclusion, the mass of the Moose can become advantageous to you if you run in a zigzag direction.
