Why do you lurch forward in a bus that suddenly slows? why do you lurch backward when it picks up speed? what law applies here?

The law applied here is Newton's first law, also known as, law of inertia.
This law states that: A body will retain its state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force.

If you are moving and the bus suddenly stops, your body will lurch forward trying to retain its state of motion until it comes to rest and changes its state by the external force acted on it.

If you are at rest and the bus suddenly moves, your body will lurch backwards trying to retain its state of rest and opposing the force of motion until it is forced to change its state by this force.

A man paddles a canoe at 6 km per hour. If he paddles on a river with a current of 6 km per hour, what is the speed of the canoe
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is  8.48 [km/h] towards southeast

Explanation:

When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:

Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}

Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]

We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.

Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]

For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.

So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).

Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:

Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]

Calculate the change in internal energy of the following system: A balloon is cooled by removing 0.659 kJ of heat. It shrinks on
bixtya [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

-310J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The change in internal energy (ΔE) of a system is the sum of the heat (Q) and work (W) done on or by the system. i.e

ΔE = Q + W       ----------------------(i)

If heat is released by the system, Q is negative. Else it is positive.

If work is done on the system, W is positive. Else it is negative.

<em>In this case, the system is the balloon and;</em>

Q = -0.659kJ = -695J    [Q is negative because heat is removed from the system(balloon)]

W = +385J  [W is positive because work is done on the system (balloon)]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

ΔE = -695 + 385

ΔE = -310J

Therefore, the change in internal energy is -310J

<em>PS: The negative value indicates that the system(balloon) has lost energy to its surrounding, thereby making the process exothermic.</em>

A star with a large luminosity would have a relatively _____ absolute magnitude.
Mademuasel [1]
A star with large luminosity would have a relatively low absolute magnitude. Absolute magnitude is a number that tells how bright a star is from the Earth. However, this scale is backwards and logarithmic, so having a large absolute magnitude value means that the star is faint.
