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.

Mr. Beall paddles his canoe at 8.0 m/s North in a river that flows at 6.0 m/s to the South. What is the magnitude and direction
kifflom [539]

Answer:

2 /s north

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity due North is 8 m/s and due south is 6 m/s

We need to find the magnitude and the direction of the resulting velocity.

Let North is positive and South is negative. When two velocities are in opposite direction, they adds up. So,

v=8+(-6)\\\\v=2\ m/s

It is positive. So, it is in North direction.

Define Archemedics principle?​
azamat

Answer:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse.

Describe the changes of motion when marble is moved from one viewpoint to another.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

according to Newton First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia); An object at rest will stay at rest, forever, as long as nothing pushes or pulls on it. An object in motion will stay in motion, traveling in a straight line, forever, until something pushes or pulls on it.

the marble will move in a straight line

An object is made of glass and has the shape of a cube 0.13 m on a side, according to an observer at rest relative to it. Howeve
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

v=0.9833\ c

Explanation:

The density changes means that the length in the direction of the motion is changed.

Therefore,

$\text{Density} = \frac{m}{lwh}$

Given :

Side,  b = h = 0.13 m

Mass, m = 3.3 kg

Density = 8100 kg/m^3

So,

$8100=\frac{3.3}{l \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

$l=\frac{3.3}{8100 \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

l = 0.024 m

Then for relativistic length contraction,

$l= l' \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.024= 0.13 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.184=  \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.033=  1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\frac{v^2}{c^2}= 0.967$

$\frac{v}{c}=0.9833$

v=0.9833\ c

Therefore, the speed of the observer relative to the cube is 0.9833 c (in the units of c).
