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.

How do you find a controlled variable
adelina 88 [10]

Hello there!


Essentially, a control variable is what is kept the same throughout the experiment, and it is not of primary concern in the experimental outcome. Any change in a control variable in an experiment would invalidate the correlation of dependent variables (DV) to the independent variable (IV), thus skewing the results.

A student fills a tank of radius r with water to a height of h1 and pokes a small, 1.0 cm diameter hole at a distance h2 from th
Alik [6]

when a hole is made at the bottom of the container then water will flow out of it

The speed of ejected water can be calculated by help of Bernuolli's equation and Equation of continuity.

By Bernoulli's equation we can write

Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h = Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g *0

Now by equation of continuity

A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

\pi (0.2)^2 v_1 = \pi (0.01)^2 v_2

from above equation we can say that speed at the top layer is almost negligible.

v_1 = 0

now again by equation of continuity

\rho g h = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2

v = \sqrt{2 g h}

here we have

h = h_1 - h_2

h = 0.50 - 0.03 = 0.47m

now speed is given by

v = \sqrt{2* 9.8 * 0.47}

v = 3.03 m/s

A 5.00 gram bullet moving at 600 m/s penetrates a tree trunk to a depth of 4.00 cm.
Crazy boy [7]
A) Work energy relation;
 Work =ΔKE ; work done = Force × distance, while, Kinetic energy = 1/2 MV²
 F.s = 1/2mv²
F× 4×10^-2 = 1/2 × 5 ×10^-3 × (600)²
 F = 900/0.04
    = 22500 N
Therefore, force is 22500 N

b) From newton's second law of motion;
 F = Ma
Thus; a = F/m
             = 22500/(5×10^-3)
             = 4,500,000 m/s²
But v = u-at
  0 = 600- 4500,000 t
t = 1.33 × 10^-4 seconds

Nina [5.8K]

The molecular weight of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 44.00 a.m.u., and the molecular weight of propane gas (C3H8) is 44.10 a.m.u. Thus CO2 diffuses_______ C3H8.
