But the football will gain a much smaller velocity than the tennis ball Thus, the same effort applied for the same time brings about a smaller change in the velocity of the football as compared to the change in the velocity of the tennis ball We say that the football has resisted the attempt to change in its state more effectively than the tennis ball. In other words a football has a large inertia than a tennis ball. In general, a heavier body has a greater inertia than a lighter body. This is true for inertia of rest as well as inertia of motion. What is the measure of inertia of a body ? )) Why do bodies of a small mass require small inertia effort to bring them into motion ? Define the term inertia with respect to motion. Which has more inertia - a rubber ball or a stone of the same size ? @ scanned with OKEN ScannerMom V% [se £| clinnat att w ihach grape Hee iE, THOS VIA GIG A AUDEN Wt AB HOGA 0G hive, 9 hohe Wa wd te AIOE OP - fiverdh wenstem OA Sige Un Lente) wt One writs OA Shoe 71 OY om the other wile 16 Views the War They (Anca 9 1.

Connecti tissue is one of the many basic types of animal tissue, along with epithelial tissue, muscle tissu and nervous tissue, As the name implies, they support and connect different tissues and organs ¢ the body. They are widely distributed in every part of the body, The cells of the connective tissu are aesely spaced and embedded in an intercelluler matrix. The matrix nay be jelly lixe, fluic dense and rigid. The nature of the matrix differs in accordance with the function of th part cular connective tissue. a) Name the most abundant tissue in animals. b) Which tissue connects two bones? ©) In whch connective tissue. matrix contains salts of celcium and phosphoru:? 4) Give the location and function of cartilage. @ scanned with OKEN Scanner
