Give two examples where we feel the presence of motion through indirect evidences

1 answer:

8 0

there are situations where the motion is inferred through indirect evidences. For example, we infer the motion of air by observing the movement of dust and the movement of leaves and branches of trees. What causes the phenomena of sunrise, sunset and changing of seasons? Is it due to the motion of the earth? If it is true, why don’t we directly perceive the motion of the earth?

<span>An object may appear to be moving for one person and stationary for some other. For the passengers in a moving bus, the roadside trees appear to be moving backwards. A person standing on the road–side perceives the bus along with the passengers as moving. However, a passenger inside the bus sees his fellow passengers to be at rest</span>

What causes a objects to move or stay still? claim and evidence

Answer:

A force

Explanation:

A push or a pull is an example of a force and can cause an object to speed up, slow down, etc.. Newton's laws tell us that 1- an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it 2- the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. 3- The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.. However, forces like gravity and friction can resist movement.

You are throwing a stone straight-up in the absence of air friction. The stone is caught at the same height from which it was th

balu736 [363]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

When a stone is thrown straight-up, it has an initial velocity which decreases gradually as the stone move to maximum height due to constant acceleration due to gravity acting downward on the stone, at the maximum height the final velocity of the stone is zero. As the stone descends the velocity starts to increase and becomes maximum before it hits the ground.

Height of the motion is given by;

$H = \frac{u^2}{2g}$

g is acceleration due to gravity which is constant

H is height traveled

u is the speed of throw, which determines the value of height traveled.

Therefore, when the stone is caught at the same height from which it was thrown in the absence of air resistance, the speed of the stone when thrown will be equal to the speed when caught.

You are an astronaut in space far away from any gravitational field, and you throw a rock as hard as you can. The rock will:

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

the rock will continue at the same speed unless it is affected by another force such as gravity and so if you threw it it will continue to move unless affected by a force

Explanation:

this is because Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
