Suppose you are on an airplane moving at high speed. If you flip a coin straight up it will land in your lap rather than a great

distance behind you. Explain why this is true and include any laws that help prove your point.

It will land in your lap because there's different frames of motion relative to yourself. For example, if you're running at a speed of 6 mph, it doesn't mean you'll run as fast as the Earth spins. Also, since you're on the interior of the plane, any kind of wind or weather on the outside will not affect the coin. A law to back up this claim is Einsteins Special Law of Relativity.

You don't need relativity to explain this. Only good old Newtonian mechanics. You are moving horizontally at high speed. You're holding the coin in your hand so the coin is also moving horizontally at high speed. If you toss it up temporarily it continues moving horizontally just like your lap.

Examine the roller coaster track above. Assume there is negligible friction as the roller coaster moves from position A to posit
anyanavicka [17]

At point E

  • the kinetic energy of the rollercoaster is small compared to the potential energy
  • the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy
  • the total energy is a mixture of potential and kinetic energy

<h3>What is the energy of the roller coaster at point E?</h3>

The energy of a roller coaster could either be potential energy, kinetic energy or a combination of both potential and kinetic energy.

Using analogies, the energy of the roller coaster at point E can be compared to a falling fruit from a tree which falls onto a pavement and is the rolling towards the floor. Point E can be compared to the midpoint of the fall of the fruit.

At point E

  • the kinetic energy of the rollercoaster is small compared to the potential energy
  • the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy
  • the total energy is a mixture of potential and kinetic energy

In conclusion, the energy of the rollercoaster at E is both Kinetic and potential energy,

An object is thrown upwards with the speed of 40.0 km/hr in 5 second, calculate the distance in millimeters (mm).
sertanlavr [38]
V=(40km/hr)(hr/3600s)(1000000mm/km)
v=11111.1mm/s

v=d/t
d=vt
d=(11111.1mm/s)(5s)
d=55555mm
d=5.56x10^4mm

What must happen to an atom of magnesium in order to become a magnesium ion Mg+2?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

An inductor is connected in series to a fully charged capacitor. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that appl
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Explanation:

Lets take

C= Capacitance

L=Inductance

V=Voltage

I= Current

The total energy E given as

E=\dfrac{IL^2}{2}+\dfrac{CV^2}{2}

We know that total energy E is conserved so when electric energy 1/2 CV² decreases then magnetic energy 1/2 IL²  will increases.

It means that when charge on the capacitor decreases then the current will increase.

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing
