Answer:

a) For the passenger the ball is seen to go up in a straight line path, and fall back to the hands of the passenger in a straight line path.

b) For a stationary observer on the ground, the ball is seen to take a parabolic path from when it is thrown up to when it fall down back on the palms of the passenger.

Explanation:

If a ball is thrown up in a vehicle moving with a constant velocity, the ball will be seen as the passenger, who is on the same frame of reference as the ball, to go up and down in a vertical straight line path. For an observer on the ground, this is different, as the ball is seen to to have both a relative vertical and horizontal component of motion, making the ball take a parabolic path from the time it was thrown, to when it falls back to the hands of the passenger.

How would a coroner take a body's temperature?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer: Rectal Thermometer

Explanation:

The most common way of taking the temperature of the deceased is to use a rectal thermometer or to take a temperature reading from the liver, which can achieve a more realistic core body temperature. Rigor Mortis also acts as a good measuring stick for estimating the time of death.

What is the length of the blues progression in this excerpt?
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>In blues musicians also often refer to chord progressions using Roman numerals, as this facilitates transposing a song to a new key. For example, rock and blues musicians often think of the 12 bar blues as consisting of I, IV and V chords. Thus a simple version of the 12 bar blues might be expressed as I/I/I/I IV/IV/I/I V/IV/I/I. By thinking of this blues progression in Roman numerals, a backup band or rhythm section could be instructed by a band leader to do the chord progression in any key. For example if the band leader asked the band to play this chord progression in the key of C Major, the chords would be C/C/C/C F/F/C/C G/F/C/C.</span>

If two forces act on an object, what is the relationship between the two forces? (pls explain)
Westkost [7]

Answer:

B. The larger force causes more acceleration than the smaller.

Explanation:

For example, let me use a child and a grown up. The child represents the smaller force while the grown up represents the larger force. If they are pushing the same object of different sides, obviously the side with the grown up will push and move to the side of the child because it is stronger.
