If a bus you are riding is traveling at a constant speed and then stops suddenly, you feel "thrown" forward. Which of the follow

ing is true at the instant the bus begins to stop? Assume the seat is frictionless and that you are not wearing a seatbelt.
Select one:

a. You slide forward on the frictionless seat at the same velocity that the bus was traveling prior to the stop.

b. A force is throwing you forward.

c. You are accelerating (remember, there is acceleration when velocities are changing).

Answer:

Option A

You slide forward on the frictionless seat at the same velocity that the bus was traveling prior to the stop

Explanation:

From the law of inertia, an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed in a straight line unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. Since you were riding, you will maintain the speed of car even after application of instantaneous brakes. In the process, you slide forward on the frictionless seat at the same velocity that the bus was traveling prior to the stop.

A pneumatic system consists of several identical 1.5 inch diameter cylinders to lift 450-pound pallets in a warehouse. the gauge
DerKrebs [107]
The applicable equation:

P = F/A

P = pressure
F = Force or weight
A = surface area

Pressure on each cylinder = (W/n)/A
Where n = number of cylinders. Additionally, pressure in the reservoir is equivalent to the pressure in each cylinder.
Net pressure =  75 - 14.7 = 60.3 psi

Therefore,
60.3 = (W/n)/A = (450/n)/(πD^2/4) = (450/n)/(π*1.5^2/4) = (450/n)/(1.7671)
60.3*1.7671 = 450/n
106.03 = 450/n
n = 450/106.3 = 4.244 ≈ 5

The number of cylinders is 5.

The speed or celerity of deep-water waves... A. increases with increasing water depth B. increases as water becomes blue in colo
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The speed or celerity of deep-water waves increases with increasing water depth.

With increase in depth, the pressure inside the increases as p=ρgh.

And with this increase in pressure force associated with waves increase because force is directly proportional to the pressure. Now greater the force greater will be accleration and greater velocity is obtained.

What would the shape of a flag need to be in order to generate a cylinder?
klasskru [66]
<span>In order to generate a cylinder shape we can use a rectangle or square shape object or thing. When a rectangle or square shape paper or material is rolled horizontally it will get a open cylindrical shape. Therefore the shape of the flag can be square or rectangular as usual.</span>

These four surfaces are opaque; that is they reflect or absorb certain rays of light determine the color
masya89 [10]
In the first figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for green light, which is reflected: so, the surface will appear as green to our eyes, because green is the only color which is reflected by that surface.

Similarly, in the  second figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for blue, and so the surface will appear blue to our eyes.

In the third figure, the surface absorbs all colors, so it will appear black to our eyes (because no colors are reflected, and black=absence of colors).

In the fourth figure, all colors are reflected: this means the surface will appear white to our eyes (white= sum of all colors).
