If a car stops suddenly, you feel "thrown forward." We’d like to understand what happens to the passengers as a car stops. Imagi

ne yourself sitting on a very slippery bench inside a car. This bench has no friction, no seat back, and there’s nothing for you to hold onto.(a) identify all of the forces action on you as thecar travels at a perfectly steady speed on level ground.(b) repeat part A with the car slowing down(c) describe what happens to you as the car slowsdown(d) suppose now that the bench is not slippery. as the carslows down, you stay on the bench and dont slide off. what force isresponsible for you deceleration?

<h2>A)</h2>

The forces acting on you are:

  • The gravitational pull of the Earth (an others Celestial objects)
  • The Normal Force that balance the gravitational pull and points upward.

That is. There is not need for any other force, cause the car its going at constant speed, so the acceleration its zero, as the net force its mass multiplied by acceleration, the net force is zero.

<h3>B)</h3>

The forces acting on you are:

  • The gravitational pull of the Earth (an others Celestial objects)
  • The Normal Force that balance the gravitational pull and points upward.

That is. Again. The car its slowing down. But, it cant apply a force in you against the direction of movement to slow you down.

<h3>C)</h3>

As you can't be slowed down, you will go forward at the same speed you had when the car went steady, and will crash against whatever its in front of you.

D)

The friction force, will pull you against the direction of movement, and slow you down will the car slows down.

What is work? how do we solve for work?​
slava [35]

Answer: Work can be calculated with the equation: Work = Force × Distance. The SI unit for work is the joule (J), or Newton • meter (N • m). One joule equals the amount of work that is done when 1 N of force moves an object over a distance of 1 m.

Kay [80]

Answer:

The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.  Columns (groups) and rows (periods) indicate elements that share similar characteristics. The table makes trends in element properties apparent and easy to understand. The table provides important information used to balance chemical equations. Atoms are important because they form the basic building blocks of all visible matter in the universe. There are 92 types of atoms that exist in nature, and other types of atoms can be made in the lab. The different types of atoms are called elements. Hydrogen, gold and iron are examples of elements comprised of unique types of a single kind of atom.

A 460 W heating unit is designed to operate with an applied potential difference of 120 V (a) By what percentage will its heat o
dybincka [34]

Answer:

(a) = -0.16%

(b) = smaller

Explanation:

given

power = 460 W

potential difference = 120 V

(a) what percentage will   its heat output drop if the applied potential difference drops to 110 V ?

we know p = \frac{v^2}{R} .....................(i)

we need to find change in power

\Delta P = \frac{\Delta (V^2)}{R}  

\Delta P = \frac{2 V \Delta V}{R}..............(ii)

from equations we get

\frac{\Delta P}{P} =  \frac{2 \Delta V}{V}

\frac{\Delta P}{P} = 2 \frac{110 -120}{120}

\frac{\Delta P}{P} =  -2(\frac{10}{120})

\frac{\Delta P}{P} = - 0.16 %

(b)

if we increase temperature resistance will increase and decrease with decrease in temperature and we know power is inversely proportional to resistance so if potential decrease and it would cause drop in power

and due to this increment of heating power resistance will decrease so actual drop in the power would  be smaller
