Answer:

The force on the bug and the force on the bus are the same.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion states that, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" or it can be restated that If a high-speed bus exerts a force on an innocent bug, then the innocent bug must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on the high-speed bus.

Note: though the forces are equal but the effect are not, in this case the innocent bug was splattered but the bus was not destroyed.

A train moving at 5 m/sec passed a track gang and then accelerated uniformly a rate of 1.2 m/sec/sec for 5 min. How far did the
Amanda [17]

Answer:

S = V0 t + 1/2 a t^2

S = 5 m/s * 300 s + 1/2 * 1.2 m/s * (300 s^2)

S = 1500 m + .6 * 90000 m = 55,500 m

Check:     V0 = 5 m/s

                V2 = V0 + a t  = 5 + 1.2 * 300 = 365 m/s

Vav = (V1 + V2) / 2 = (5 + 365) / 2 = 185 m/s     (note uniform motion)

S = 185 * 300 = 55,500 m

We calculated V2 above at 365 m/s  the speed after 300 sec

No, current flows through galvanometer is zero.

Now, P and R are in series, so

Why do the lights in your home come on almost instantaneously when you turn on the switch?
arlik [135]

Answer:

here you go

Explanation:

Why do your lights actually come on almost instantaneously? ... Wiring the house in parallel does not make a difference – there is no current flowing through the light bulb when the switch is off no matter how the house is wired. If there were a current already, the light would be on!

Give the reason that antifreeze is added to a car radiator
Illusion [34]
As it's name suggests it is a liquid with a very low freezing point. When added to the water in your car's cooling system it keeps it from freezing in cold weather. If the water in your cooling system freezes the radiator and associated piping would crack.
