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.

1. In Newton’s ring experiment, the diameter of the 5th ring is 0.30 cm and diameter of 15th the ring is 0.62 cm. Find the diame
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Diameter of Newton’s 5th ring = 0.30 cm

Diameter of Newton’s 15th ring = 0.62 cm

Diameter of Newton’s 25th ring = ?

From Newton’s rings experiment we infer that

D2n+m − D2n = 4λmR

For the 5th and 15th rings we have

D215 − D25 = 4λ * 10 * R _______ (1) (m = 10)

For 15th and 25th rings

D225 − D215 = 4λ * 10 * R _______ (2) (m = 10)

We equate the two derivatives

Equation (2) = Equation (1)

D225 − D215 = D215 − D25

D225 = 2D215 – D25

Substituting the values into the equation

D225 = 2 * 0.62 * 0.62 – 0.3 * 0.3 =0.6788 cm2

D25 = 0.8239 cm

What is the car's speed at the bottom of the dip?The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier thantheir true weight a
Rashid [163]

Answer:

v = 14 m/s

Explanation:

given,

radius of dip = 40 m

The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier than their true weight.

Apparent weight

A = W + \dfrac{W}{2}

A =\dfrac{3W}{2}

A =\dfrac{3mg}{2}

When the car is at the bottom,  the weight will be acting downwards and the centripetal force will also be acting downward where as Normal force which is apparent weight will be acting in upward direction.

now,

N = m g + \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

\dfrac{3mg}{2} = m g + \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

\dfrac{mg}{2} = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{rg}{2}}

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{40\times 9.8}{2}}

v = 14 m/s

A conducting bar moves along a circuit with a constant velocity. A constant magnetic field is perpendicular to the bar and circu
lana [24]

Answer:

0.500 T

Explanation:

Since the change in time and the number of coils are both 1, I set the problem up to be 1.3=(1.5(x)-13(x)). I then plugged in numbers for x until I got the answer to be 1.3 V.

5. What is the amount of force required to accelerate a 20 kg object at a rate of 5 m/sz?
GenaCL600 [577]

Force required is 100 N

<u>Given that;</u>

Rate of acceleration = 5 m/s²

Mass of object = 20kg

<u>Find:</u>

Force required

<u>Computation:</u>

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Force required = Rate of acceleration × Mass of object

Force required = 20 × 5

Force required = 100 N

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

It's held together by the nuclear force.

Explanation:

There are <em>more</em> elemental forces than just the electromagnetic one. In this case, it is the nuclear force (called also strong force) the one that holds the nucleus together because it is stronger than the electromagnetic force over such short distances as the one inside the atomic nucleus.
