You and your friends are going on a picnic in a very small car. On your way, the car breaks down and you try to push it to get i

t to move but in vain. You ask your friends to help you and the car starts moving and revs up. How are you and your friends applying Newton's second law of motion here? What if the car you were traveling in was a large SUV?

Answer:

The pushing of the car by you and your friends is the applied force and when the car moves, it means that the velocity has changed thus causing the movement or acceleration.

Explanation:

Newton's work on forces regarding motion can never be neglected by scientists. Sir Isaac Newton when he was alive, among several of his works he proposed the three laws guiding the forces of motion. In this question we are only going to be treating only one out of the three Newton's Law of motion and that is the second Law Of Newton's laws of motion.

The second Law Of Newton's laws of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to the object's mass.

(1). Now, to the question: " How are you and your friends applying Newton's second law of motion here? "

The pushing of the car by you and your friends is the applied force and when the car moves, it means that the velocity has changed thus causing the movement or acceleration.

According to the law, the more the Force, the more the acceleration.

(2). For the second part of the question, " What if the car you were traveling in was a large SUV?"

From the law stated above we see that the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass, thus if the car is a large SUV, It means that more force is needed to change the car's velocity.

Difference between discrete and continuous charge distribution?
Vlada [557]
Discrete systems are those systems in which are made up of finite component particles a which are non-homogeneously arranged such that no smooth variation exists. It is such that all constituent particles have properties which vary randomly. They are direct opposite to continuous systems, which are smooth arrangement of particles which cannot be individually taken into consideration.

pychu [463]
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the height of the triangle by the length of the base and dividing them both by 2. The length of the shorter side in the equation is useless information, so just multiply 39 by 25 and divide that by 2. A=487.5 sq ft. Also, that's a pretty big kite.

Talja [164]

Answer:

c. from south to north

Explanation:

since we know that:

F = qv×B

where F is the force and in this case is pointed upward

where v is the velocity due east

the field must be due north by the right hand rule

Therefore,  near the equator the magnetic field lines of the earth are directed north from south
