Which of these is an example of the meaning of inertia in physics crashing into another car because the brakes on your car failed larger acceleration from the same net force if the mass being accelerated is larger smaller acceleration from the same net force if the mass being accelerated is smaller continuing to drive in the wrong direction by choosing not to turn around

The correct option is A.
In physics, inertia has to do with Newton's first law of motion which states that an object will continue in its state of rest or in motion unless it is acted upon by a force. Thus, inertia refers to the tendency of an object to continue its motion in a straight line at constant velocity. In the question given above, the car that its brake failed would have continue moving indefinitely if it did not crash into another car, that is, it will continue in its state of motion.

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)vmomentum is conserved.the left-hand side of the equation represents the momentum in the system before the collision.the right-hand side represents the momentum in the system after the collisionm₁ and v₁ represents the mass and the velocity of the physics blockm₂ and v₂ represents the mass and velocity of the ball of puttyv represents the final velocity of the combined mass.the question states the two masses stick together. they combined mass has its own velocity with the body mass the sum of the two objects' massestheir combined momentum is (m₁ + m₂)vto find the magitude of (m₁ + m₂)v, we need to add the vectors on the left-hand side of the equation: m₁v₁ + m₂v₂.note the diagram. i have positioned the vectors in accordance with their directions.the magnitude of the resultant can be calculated using the pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle situation (north and west are perpendicular)|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (m₁v₁)² + (m₂v₂)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (1.5kg·8.0m/s)² + (0.40kg·20m/s)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  14.4 kg m/sfor two significant figures (assuming that 20m/s is two), this rounds to 14 kg m/s

Ibelieve the answer is d. macula  hope my answer has you : )
