The answer is d. Inertia
According to Newton's first law of motion, every body continues to be in a state of rest or of uniform motion unless an external force acts upon it. This is called inertia; the tendency of an object to resist change.
So when the car makes a sharp left turn, the passengers seem to move towards the right side of the car because the passengers continue to maintain the straight line path ahead along which the car was moving before taking the turn

A toy robot moved from a starting point, traveling in a straight line at different speeds and then turning around and returning
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The total distance is equal to the change in total position of the person, but the displacement of the person is zero.

Explanation:

  • The distance is the total change in the positions of the toy robot. it is having only magnitude and it is a scalar quantity.
  • The displacement is the difference between the final and initial position of the toy robot. it is a vector quantity having magnitude and direction
  • Since the distance is the change in positions, so the magnitude of the distance will be equal to the up and down distance covered.
  • If the toy robot travels in a straight line path and returns back to its original location, the magnitude of the distance and displacement doesn't depend on the speed of the toy robot.

Which of these equations is dimensionally correct?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: first and third.

Explanation:

An equation is dimensionally correct if the units are the same in both sides of the equation.

first, let's define the units used:

{m} = kg

{v} = m/s

{F} = kg*m/s^2

{x} = m

{t} = s

{a} = m/s^2

Now, let's analyze each option:

1) m*v/t = F

in the left side the units are:

{m}*{v}/{t} =  kg*(m/s)*(1/s) = kg*m/s^2

And as is written above, these are the units of F, so this is correct.

2) x*v^2 = F*(x^3/x^2)

This is more trivial, in the right side we can see an F, that has mass units (kg)  and in the left side we have x and v, and we know that none of these have mass units, so this expression is not correct.

3) xt= vt^2+at^3

the units in the right side are:

{x}*{t] = m*s

in the right side are:

{v}*{t}^2 + {a}*{t}^2 = (m/s)*s^2 + (m/s^2)*s^3 = m*s + m*s

So in both sides of the equation we have the same units, then this equation is dimensionally correct.

The coefficient of linear expansion for some common materials are listed in the table to the right. You would like to design an
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

A)    T_{f} = 77.6  ⁰C ,  B) T_{f} = 341.6 C

Explanation:

The thermal expansion is given by

           ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

The thermal expansion coefficient for polycarbonate varies between 65 and 70 10⁻⁶ ⁰C⁻¹ and for cast iron 12 10⁻⁶ C⁻¹

Let's look for the final temperature that says same shift change

          ΔT = ΔL / α L₀

          T_{f} - T₀ = ΔL /α L₀

          T_{f}= T₀ + ΔL / α L₀

Let's calculate for each material

A) Polycarbonate use as thermal expansion coefficient 70 10⁻⁶ C⁻¹

         T_{f} = 23.0 + 0.0268 / (70 10⁻⁶ 7.01)

         T_{f} = 23.0 + 54.6

        T_{f} = 77.6  ⁰C

B) cast iron with thermal expansion coefficient 12 10⁻⁶ C⁻¹

      T_{f} = 23.0 + 0.0268 / (12 10⁻⁶ 7.01)

      T_{f} = 23.0 + 3.1859 10²

      T_{f} = 341.6 C
