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?

AveGali [126]3 years ago

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.

The record for the highest speed achieved in alaboratory for a
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

0.000234 seconds

Explanation:

Since the row is 0.15m, its radius of rotation must be 0.15 / 2 = 0.075 m

We can start by calculating the angular speed of the rod:

\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \frac{2010}{0.075} = 26800 rad/s

Since one revolution equals to 2π rad. The speed in revolution per second must be

26800 / 2π = 4265 revolution/s

The number of seconds per revolution, or period, is the inverse:

1/4265 = 0.000234 seconds

A train is moving in a straight railway where it covered one third of the distance with
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

<em>The average speed of the train is 45 km/h</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed</u>

It's defined as the distance (d) per unit of time (t) traveled by an object. The formula is:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Let's call x the total distance covered by the train. It covered d1=1/3x with a speed of v1=25 km/h. The time taken is calculated solving for t:

\displaystyle t_1=\frac{d_1}{v_1}

\displaystyle t_1=\frac{1/3x}{25}

\displaystyle t_1=\frac{x}{75}

Now the rest of the distance:

d2 = x - 1/3x = 2/3x

Was covered at v2=75 km/h. Thus the time taken is:

\displaystyle t_2=\frac{d_2}{v_2}

\displaystyle t_2=\frac{2/3x}{75}

\displaystyle t_2=\frac{2x}{225}

The total time is:

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{x}{75}+\frac{2x}{225}

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{3x}{225}+\frac{2x}{225}

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{5x}{225}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle t_t=\frac{x}{45}

The average speed is the total distance divided by the total time:

\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{\frac{x}{45}}

Simplifying:

\boxed{\displaystyle \bar v=45\ km/h}

The average speed of the train is 45 km/h

The lasers are red, meaning that they are giving off light in the _____ region of the electromagnetic spectrum
Softa [21]

As per the question the color of laser light is given as red.

If we arrange all the electromagnetic waves in the decreasing order of frequency ,then the electromagnetic spectrum contains gamma ray as the first which is followed by all other electromagnetic waves according to their frequency.

The visible light ranges from 400 nm to 700 nm which contains sunlight i.e white colors with it's constituent colors starting from violet to red. The red color is the longest wavelength part of the visible region.

The wavelength of visible light is longer than ultraviolet wave but smaller than infrared radiation. Except the bisible region,the color of radiation is invisible to eye.


As per the question the color of emiited laser radiation is red .Hence it must lie in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

A sample of copper with a mass of 1.80 kg, initially at a temperature of 150.0°C, is in a well-insulated container. Water at a t
user100 [1]

Answer:

the mass of water is 0.3 Kg

Explanation:

since the container is well-insulated, the heat released by the copper is absorbed by the water , therefore:

Q water + Q copper = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

Q water = - Q copper

since Q = m * c * ( T eq - Ti ) , where m = mass, c = specific heat, T eq = equilibrium temperature and Ti = initial temperature

and denoting w as water and co as copper :

m w * c w * (T eq - Tiw) = - m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) =  m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq)

m w = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]

We take the specific heat of water as c= 1 cal/g °C = 4.186 J/g °C . Also the specific heat of copper can be found in tables → at 25°C c co = 0.385 J/g°C

if we assume that both specific heats do not change during the process (or the change is insignificant)

m w = m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]

m w= 1.80 kg *  0.385 J/g°C ( 150°C - 70°C) /( 4.186 J/g°C ( 70°C- 27°C))

m w= 0.3 kg

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 39 points and will give branlist asap!
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Graph for object that is not moving: B

Graph for object that is speeding up: D

Explanation:

A.) In order to represent that an object is not moving, you must either show that there is no velocity (0 m/s) or show a position over time graph that is a horizontal line.

Because the position is the same as time increases, the graph shows that there the object must be at rest, as there is no change in position due to velocity. (Velocity must be 0m/s)

B.) In order to represent an object is speeding up, the position time graph must either be a positive exponential function, the velocity time graph must be a positive, linear line, or the acceleration over time graph must be a positive, horizontal line.

Why is D the correct answer? Because if an object is speeding up, you know that the value of its speed (velocity) is increasing at some rate. And since speeding up refers to positive change, the function of velocity over time graph must be a positive function.
