Explanation
(a)(i) Inertia is the reluctance of a body to move if it is at rest or to stop if it is in motion. The more the mass of a body has the greater the inertia.
(ii) Inertial mass represents resistance to any type of force. The more mass a body has the more force required to give it an acceleration. Force = mass x acceleration.
(b)Factors that affect the rate of evaporation are: Wind, pressure, temperature, area of surface exposed, humidity or dryness of air.
(c) Ice melts when sufficient pressure is applied to it, because increase in pressure lowers the melting point of ice. When the two ice cubes are pressed together the melting point is lowered, hence they melt to form thin layer of water between them. On releasing the pressure the water formed freezes because decrease in pressure raises the freezing point. Therefore the two cubes stick together.
(d)h\(_A\)e\(_A\) = \(h_Be_B\)
\(h_B = \frac{h_Ae_A}{e_B} = \frac{26 \times 0.92 \times 10^3}{1.30 \times 10^3}\)
= 18.4 cm
