How is newton’s first law of motion used for a person in a stationary car during a car crash

1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

When the car crashes, there is no unbalanced force acting on the person, so they continue forward (Newton's First Law). The person moves against the seat belt, exerting a force on it.

Two particles, each of mass 7.0 kg, are a distance 3.0 m apart. To bring a third particle, with mass 21 kg, from far away to a r

garri49 [273]

Answer: the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

Explanation:

Given that;

Mass M1 = 7.0 kg

r = 3.0/2 m = 1.5 m

Mass M2 = 21 kg

we know that G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

work done by an external agent W = -2GM2M1 / r

so we substitute

W = (-2 × 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 21 × 7) / 1.5

W = -1.96098 × 10⁻⁸ / 1.5

W = -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

Therefore the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 15 miles per hour relative to the water in going 10 miles upstream and then returning

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

speed of current is 5 mile/hr

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water

let c is speed of current

15-c is speed of boat at upstream

15+c is speed of boat at downstream

we know that

travel time=distance/speed

$\frac{10}{15-c} +\frac{10}{15+c} = 1.5$

150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)

300=1.5(225-c^2)

300=337.5-1.5c^2

200=225-c^2

c^2=25

c = 5

so speed of current is 5 mile/hr
