Why did the confederates not pursue union troops once they defeated them at bull run?

1 answer:

8 0

The First Battle of Bull Run, also called as Battle of Manassas, took place in 1861, in between the Union Army and the Confederate troops.

By the end of the battle, although they had won, the Confederate troops were highly disorganized and exhausted. If they continued to attack, they would have suffered high losses.

Both the parties had underestimated each other and the Confederate army thought that a victory at the battlefield would be enough reason for the North to give up and form Confederate States of America.

Although, the Confederate commanders did want to continue the battle, they were over-ruled by the higher authorities.

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?

andre [41]

1. Due to the laws of inertia if an object is stopped abruptly the force of the moving object translates to whatever object it is in contact with which will cause the person not wearing the seatbelt to be propelled forward with the force of the car.
2. The stopping distance changes if constant resistance is applied against two different forces of varying magnitude such that the larger the force the greater the stopping distance.
3. For the same Kinetic Energy the stopping distance of a small vehicle will be less than the larger vehicle due to the conversion of inertia.
4. The best way to prepare for sharp curves is to slow down the car before taking the curve.
5. Due to the laws of inertia and conservation of momentum the faster the car is moving the greater inertia that it will exert and the greater momentum it will generate forward which if the car comes to a stop is translated to the passengers inside which propels them forward with an equivalent force which will be more pronounced as the object being propelled by the same acceleration is now much smaller.
