Newton's laws of motion, #1 and #2, explain everything the passenger feels in that situation.

It's due to Inertia. The law of Inertia states that a body will try to retain its movement state if possible. This means, if a body is at rest, it will try to remain at rest using forces. Similarly, if it's in movement, it will try to remain in movement.

In this example, the plane is moving forwards, and so do the seats, which in turn push the passenger forwards.The force felt is Inertia acting on the body, trying to counter the movement.

A person on a rocket traveling at 0.47 c (with respect to the Earth) observes a meteor come from behind and pass her at a speed
zhannawk [14.2K]

The concept to solve this problem is related to the relativistic physics for which the speed of the object in different frames of reference is related. This concept is called Velocity-addition formula

and can be written as,

u = \frac{v+u'}{1+\frac{vu'}{c^2}}

Where,

u = Velocity of a body within a Lorentz Frame

v = Velocity of a second frame

u'= The transformed velocity of the body within the second frame

c = speed of light

Replacing we have to

u = \frac{v+u'}{1+\frac{vu'}{c^2}}

u = \frac{0.47c+0.47c}{1+\frac{0.47c*0.47c}{c^2}}

u = 0.769c

u \approx 230'700.000m/s

Therefore the meteor moving with respect to the Earth to 230'700.000m/s

The length of a certain wire is kept same while its radius is doubled. what is the change in the resistance of this wire?
kaheart [24]
The resistance of a wire is given by
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where \rho is the resistivity of the material, L the length of the wire and A its cross-sectional area. 

In the problem, \rho and L remain the same, while A changes because the radius changes. The area is given by:
A=\pi r^2
This means that if we double the radius (2r), the area becomes
A_{new}= \pi (2r)^2 = 4 \pi r^2 =4A
And therefore, the new value of the resistance is
R_{new} =  \frac{\rho L}{4 A}= \frac{1}{4}R

So, when the radius is doubled, the resistance becomes \frac{1}{4} of its original value.
