What do u mean? Do you mean what allows you to let you sit on the passengers seat?

When the car speeds up, slows down, or goes around a curve,
passengers need a force applied to them to make them do the
same thing, otherwise they won't keep up with the car.

The force on the passenger is applied by means of friction between
the upholstery and the seat of his pants, and also by the seat-back
or his seat-belt.

Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with Einstein's special relativity because

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Mass and thus force depends on the reference frame chosen

Explanation:

This can be explained as Newton's law of gravity provides action which are instantaneous at a distance and involves the evaluation of all the quantities at present time or at the instant they occur.

If the body undergoes a change in its mass distribution there will be an immediate change in its gravitational force without any lag.

Now, if we talk about special relativity, it would be absurd to say that an information can travel faster than light. The effect is in synchronization with the cause in one reference frame where the effect occurs after the cause for some observer in some other reference frame.

In order to observe Newton's law of gravity all the observer's in different reference frames must observe the same phenomena which could only be possible if time were absolute and in special relativity, time is not absolute.

Therefore, Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with the Einstein's Special Relativity.

Could someone explain to me how to got the answer B, thank you very much

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

since -6 lasted for 5 seconds, multiplying both would result in -30

3 lasted for 10 seconds, so multiplying both would give +30

average = ( 30 + (-30) ) / 2

30 -30 is already equal to zero, so the answer should be 0

Two charges +q and -q are situated at certain distance, at the point exactly midway betwee them what happens on electric field a

Luden [163]

Answer: Electric field is not zero but potential is zero

Explanation:

In science, charge, also recognized as electric charge, electrical charge, or electrostatic charge and expressed q, is a component of a unit of body that reveals the extent to which it has more or fewer electrons than protons.

Considering the direction of the electric field is of positive to negative charge. Therefore, it determination be toward due −q also due to both the charges.

But for potential, it is a scalar quantity, so the sum of potential due to all the charges will be zero.

Henceforth, the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

a incorect

From the above statements, we could conclude that option (c) Electric field is not zero, but potential is zero is the correct answer. So, the option (a) Electric field and potential both are zero is an incorrect solution.

b incorect

Among all the options, the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

Therefore, the option (b) Electric field is zero but potential is not zero is an incorrect solution

d) is incorrect

It has been explained that the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

Hence, the option (d) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is an incorrect solution.

A uniform plank 8.00 m in length with mass 50.0 kg is supported at two points located 1.00 m and 5.00 m, respectively, from the

andreev551 [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use Newton's second law and statistical equilibrium equations.

According to Newton's second law we have to

$F = mg$

where,

m= mass

g = gravitational acceleration

For the balance to break, there must be a mass M located at the right end.

We will define the mass m as the mass of the body, located in an equidistant center of the corners equal to 4m.

In this way, applying the static equilibrium equations, we have to sum up torques at point B,

$\sum \tau = 0$

Regarding the forces we have,

$3Mg-1mg=0$

Re-arrange to find M,

$M = \frac{m}{3}$

$M = \frac{50}{3}$

$M = 16.67Kg$

Therefore the maximum additional mass you could place on the right hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest is 16.67Kg
