Because of inertia (Newton's First Law), the person will keep moving forward with the same velocity that they were travelling before the collision. Also, following Darwin's Law of natural selection, it is a mechanism for removing undesirable traits (idiocy) from the human gene pool.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

The charges from the thunderstorm flow through the conductive metal

of which the vehicle is made and distribute themselves on the outside surface of the vehicle

Explanation:

It is actually safer to stay inside a car during a thunderstorm rather than standing outside the car. The reason is this, thunder passes electrical charges through a conductor. The body of the vehicle is made of a metal which is a good conductor of electricity. The charges will redistribute themselves on the body of the vehicle (a metallic conductor of electricity) hence the occupants of the car are relatively safe.

The reasons described above makes those inside the vehicle relatively safe compared to a person standing outside.

Can Magnetic poles effects each other​
pochemuha

Answer:

Explanation:

But the reality is that: Multiple magnetic fields would fight each other. This could weaken Earth's protective magnetic field by up to 90% during a polar flip. Earth's magnetic field is what shields us from harmful space radiation which can damage cells, cause cancer, and fry electronic circuits and electrical grids.

How do magnetic poles interact? Magnetic poles that are alike repel each other, and magnetic poles that are unlike attract each other. The area of magnetic force around a magnet. The magnetic field lines spread out from the north pole, curve around, and return to the south pole.

When two magnets are brought together, the opposite poles will attract one another, but the like poles will repel one another. This is similar to electric charges. The earth is like a giant magnet, but unlike two free hanging magnets, the north pole of a magnet is attracted to the north pole of the earth.

Magnetic forces are non contact forces; they pull or push on objects without touching them. Magnets are only attracted to a few 'magnetic' metals and not all matter. Magnets are attracted to and repel other magnets.

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

Complete Question

The  complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

the compass direction of the resultant displacement is  \theta  =4.7^o south of west

Explanation:

Generally using cosine we can obtain the resultant R as follows

     R^2  =  A^2  + B^2 -2ABcos(70)

=>   R  =  \sqrt{12^2  + 20^2  - 2(12 ) *  (20) cos  70}

=>    R  =  19.48 \  m

We can obtain the direction of the resultant by first  using sine rule to obtain angle C as follows

       \frac{A}{sin  C}  =  \frac{R}{sin70 }

=>    C=  sin ^{-1} [\frac{A *  (sin 70)}{R} ]

=>    C =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{20 *  (sin 70)}{19.48} ]

=>  C =  74.7 ^o

Then the direction is obtained as

       \theta  =  C  -  70

=>    \theta  = 74.7   -  70

=>     \theta  =4.7^o

Hence the compass direction of the resultant displacement is  \theta  =4.7^o south of west

matrenka [14]

Answer:K.E.=36.277+1.0429=37.319 J

Explanation:

Velocity of Top most point of wheel is twice the Velocity of centre of mass of wheel

i.e V_{wheel}=2V_{cm}=0.319 m/s

Thus angular velocity is given by

\omega =\frac{V_{cm}}{R}

\omega =0.465 rad/s

Kinetic\ Energy=Rotational + transtational

K.E.=\frac{1}{2}m_{stone}V^2+2\left [ \frac{1}{2}m_{cyl}\left [ \frac{V}{2}\right ]^2\right ]+2\left [ \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2\right ]

K.E.=\frac{V^2}{2}\left [ m_{stone}+\frac{m_{roller}}{2}\right ]+I\omega ^2

K.E.=\frac{0.319^2}{2}\left [ 672+\frac{82}{2}\right ]+\frac{82\times 0.343^2\times 0.465^2}{2}

K.E.=36.277+1.0429=37.319 J
