When a car hits you in a rear end collision, the car initially has a momentum going in one direction. This causes your car to move in the same direction that car was moving even if you were at rest. So, for conservation of momentum, you initially have momentum going in the east direction for example, after the collision, you will have a change in momentum which causes you to have a velocity in the west direction. This is because you are initially at rest and then there is a sudden change in velocity so when you speed up, that momentum causes you to move backwards. If you don't have a properly adjusted neckrest you could may experience whiplash.

*FRICTIONAL FORCE* in the opposite direction of the way Bobby is pushing.
Friction is a force which varies but it is always opposing the direction of motion.

*APPLIED FORCE* is the force that Bobby is pushing with.
An applied force is literally the force that is applied to an object.

*WEIGHT FORCE* is also called the force of gravity. It is straight downward.
It is the weight of the object multiplied by the force of gravity. If the TV weighed 100kg, acceleration is always 9.81 m/s^2, so the weight force would be 981 N.

*NORMAL FORCE* is the force which is holding the TV above ground. The ground supplies a force upward against the TV.
Normal force is just the force that prevents the TV from falling through the ground. We don't normally realize it in our everyday life, but the floor must hold everything up because gravity is always "pushing" against it.

Hey guys how to prevent from shock
Pie
U need an insulator to prevent the shock passing through , that's why there is a plastic sheet covering the copper wires so that it can prevent the electricity passing through as plastic is an insulator and does not conduct electricity

The velocity of a 0.25kg model rocket changes from 15m/s [up] to 40m/s [up] in
pochemuha

Since g is constant,  the force the escaping gas exerts on the rocket will be 10.4 N

<h3>What is Escape Velocity ?</h3>

This is the minimum velocity required for an object to just escape the gravitational influence of an astronomical body.

Given that the velocity of a 0.25kg model rocket changes from 15m/s [up] to 40m/s [up] in 0.60s. The gravitational field intensity is 9.8N/kg.

To calculate the force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket, let first highlight all the given parameters

  • Mass (m) of the rocket 0.25 Kg
  • Initial velocity u = 15 m/s
  • Final Velocity v = 40 m/s
  • Time t = 0.6s
  • Gravitational field intensity g = 9.8N/kg

The force the gas exerts of the rocket = The force on the rocket

The rate change in momentum of the rocket = force applied

F = ma

F = m(v - u)/t

F = 0.25 x (40 - 15)/0.6

F = 0.25 x 41.667

F = 10.42 N

Since g is constant,  the force the escaping gas exerts on the rocket is therefore 10.4 N approximately.
