Answer:
Explanation:
When we accelerate in a car on a straight path we tend to lean backward because our lower body part which is directly in contact with the seat of the car gets accelerated along with it but the upper the upper body experiences this force later on due to its own inertia. This force is accordance with Newton's second law of motion and is proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the upper body part.
Conversely we lean forward while the speed decreases and the same phenomenon happens in the opposite direction.
While changing direction in car the upper body remains in its position due to inertia but the lower body being firmly in contact with the car gets along in the direction of the car, seems that it makes the upper body lean in the opposite direction of the turn.
On abrupt change in the state of motion the force experienced is also intense in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion.
Even though the wind "tries" to flow from high pressure to low pressure, the turning of the Earth causes the air flow to turn to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere), so the jet stream flows around the air masses, rather than directly from one to the other.
I think it was Isaac Newton
Answer:
g_x = 3.0 m / s^2
Explanation:
Given:
- Change in length of spring [email protected] = 22.6 cm
- Time taken for 11 oscillations t = 19.0 s
Find:
- The value of gravitational free fall g_x at plant X:
Solution:
- We will assume a simple harmonic motion of the mass for which Time is:
T = 2*pi*sqrt(k / m ) ...... 1
- Sum of forces in vertical direction @equilibrium is zero:
F_net = k*x - m*g_x = 0
(k / m) = (g_x / x) .... 2
- substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1:
2*pi / T = sqrt ( g_x / x )
g_x = (2*pi / T )^2 * x
- Evaluate g_x:
g_x = (2*pi / (19 / 11) )^2 * 0.226
g_x = 3.0 m / s^2
