In give diagram Diode 1 and 2 are in forward bias with R = 3 0 Ω and Diode 3 is reverse bias with R = infinite l1 current is flowing through 20 Ω  

So l 1 2 a n d l 1 2 current will flow through Diode 1 and 2. As resistance is same applying KCl in ABCD Loop l 1 2 * 1 3 0 l 1 2 * 1 3 0 l 1 * 2 0 + 2 0 0 = 0

-100l1 + 200 = 0

l1 = 2

Aristotle's main flaw was that he did not account for forces already present that keep a body at rest or in motion. In classical antiquity physics, during this philosopher's time, invisible and opposing forces, such as friction and air resistance, were not understood. So, it was natural to resort to observation-based answers that would later get disproved by scientists like Galileo and Newton, who introduced rigorous experimentation and mathematical enquiries.

Aristotle viewed that a moving body/object would have something external to keep it in motion. Otherwise, that body would stop, as it is the natural state of any object to stay at rest. It was a natural view and a common practical experience for everyone. 

What Aristotle didn't take into consideration was that there are already opposing forces in the natural world, such as friction. A force like friction remains as a net external force in the real world. 

In reality, as we speak, a moving object keeps moving unless something like friction or air slows it down. It's also just like a still object stays still if nothing pushes or

The number of neutrons in nucleus has an important role in determining the stability of nucleus. Stability of nucleus is affected by the balance between number of protons and neutrons and the number of nucleons. In lighter elements, the most stable nuclei has roughly equal number of protons and neutrons. For instance, Carbon-12 is the most common isotope of carbon with 6 protons and 6 neutrons.

Yes, all objects have inertia. It does not depend on whether they are moving or not. Inertia is an object's inherent resistance to any change in its state of motion.

For an object at rest, its inertia is its tendency to remain at rest. A force is required to overcome this inertia and set the object in motion. 

The amount of inertia an object has is determined by its mass. The more massive an object is, the more it resists a change in its state of motion. We can also say that this heavier object has greater inertia.

The law of inertia, also known as Newton's first law of motion, states that an object at rest will stay at rest. Likewise, an object in motion will remain in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless there is a net external force. 

Now in both ideal states, the net external force on an object is zero.

From the perspective of classical mechanics, there isn't a significant distinction between rest and uniform motion. They can be seen as the same state of motion viewed from different reference frames. An object is considered to be in a state of equilibrium whether it is at rest or in uniform motion.

Most elements exist as a mixture of isotopes in nature. Isotopes are atoms of same elements that have same number of protons but they have different numbers of neutrons. Since the number of neutrons may vary, different isotopes of same element have different atomic masses.

The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average of atomic masses of its isotopes considering their natural abundances. The weighted average is calculated by multiplying atomic mass of every isotope by its natural abundance and then adding these products.

The atomic mass is an average that accounts for different masses and abundances of isotopes that results in a fr

As per Galileo's Law of Inertia, objects in motion have a natural tendency to stay in motion. This property is called inertia. But, they stop moving as there are external forces. Now, we should know that friction is a type of force. It acts in parallel and opposes motion when two surfaces are in contact. Then we have air resistance, which is a type of friction that acts on objects as they move through the air.

In an ideal scenario, as Galileo and Newton would have proved through their observations and mathematical enquiries, there will be no friction or air resistance. Then an object in motion would continue to move indefinitely in
