Explain in terms of Newton's first law why you should never step off a bus or train before

Physics
1 answer:
Andrei [34K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Newton's 1st law demonstrates that unbalanced forces impact the motion of yourself when you get off the train. You would most likely lose your balance due to the difference in motion between the train and the ground.

Explanation:

Newton's first law states:

  • An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest. However, this changes if the object is acted upon by an unbalanced force
  • I.E. You are on the train, meaning that you are in motion with the train and are moving at the same velocity. If you get of the train while its moving, you are still moving at the speed of thr train. Therefore, your momentum is forced to stop when you hit the other ground; causing you to lose your balance.

A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a) 1450watts

b) 564watts

c) 1.11

Explanation:

Power consumed = IV

I is the current rating

V is the operating voltage

If a blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V and the current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that of the vacuum cleaner is 4.7 A then their individual power rating is calculated thus;

a) For blow-dryer

Operating voltage = 120V

Its current rating = 12A

Power consumed = IV

= 120×12

= 1440watts

b) For vacuum cleaner:

Operating voltage is the same as that of blow dryer = 120V

Its current rating = 4.7A

Power consumed = IV

= 120×4.7

= 564watts

c) Energy used = Power consumed × time taken

Energy used = Power × time

Energy used by blow dryer = 1440×20×60

= 1,728,000Joules

Energy used up by vacuum cleaner = 564×46×60

= 564×2760

= 1,556,640Joules

Ratio of the energy used by the blow-dryer in 20 minutes to the energy used by the vacuum cleaner in 46 minutes will be 1,728,000/1,556,640 = 1.11

Why is it that an object can accelerate while
posledela

For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.

The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.

If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.

The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.

And any change of velocity is called acceleration.

Consider a box weight 2700 newtons resting on the ground. If the area of the box touching the ground is 1.5 square meters, what
Neko [114]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1800 Pa

Explanation:

Data

Weight = 2700 N

Area = 1.5 m²

Pressure = ?

Formula

Pressure = Force / Area

The Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area.

-Substitution

 Pressure = 2700 / 1.5

-Result

 Pressure = 1800 Pa

The units of pressure are Pascals (Pa)
