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.

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: v_f=v_0+a*t, where v_f is the final velocity, v_0 is the initial velocity, a the acceleration, and t is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s}  }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s, where v_f=0\frac{m}{s} because the sled is totally stopped, v_0=282\frac{m}{s} is the velocity of the sled before braking and, a=-201\frac{m}{s^2} is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration:x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2, where x_f-x_0 is the distance traveled, v_0 is the initial velocity, t the time of the process and, a is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m.

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>

If I keep F constant in F=ma, what is the relationship between m and a?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

If F is a constant, we can take f = 1

f = m×a

ma = 1

therefore we can say that force is hence proportinal to the product of mass and acceleration.

Which pair of quantities includes one quantity that increases as the other decreases during simple harmonic motion?
11111nata11111 [884]

Kinetic energy and potential energy pair is the quantity in which one will increase then other will decrease

As we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy will always remain conserved

So here we will have

KE + PE = constant

so here as we move away from mean position the kinetic energy will decrease while at the same time potential energy will increase.

So the pair of potential energy and kinetic energy will satisfy the above condition
