Some people say that the “force of inertia” (and “force of momentum”) throws the passengers forward when a car brakes sharply. w

hat is wrong with this explanation

the car stops, the inertia of people keeps them going. no force ... they were going before the car stopped

sudden stop = pain

gentle stop = ok

Difference between work done against gravity and friction​
mario62 [17]
Mark Brainliest please


Friction is a nonconservative force. Therefore work done against friction cannot be stored as potential energy and later converted back to kinetic the way work against gravity can.

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump, gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down. ... Instead friction occurs when something like a machine or individual pulls a sliding object in the opposite direction of another object.


Friction and gravity exist in every aspect of a person’s life. For example, almost every movement you make, such as walking and running, involves friction. When you throw a ball up, gravity causes the ball to fall down. A person sliding a book across a table creates friction. Nevertheless, differences between gravity and friction also exist. Force affects gravity and friction in different ways.

Please help me with this physics prooblem
zaharov [31]

Take the missile's starting position to be the origin. Assuming the angles given are taken to be counterclockwise from the positive horizontal axis, the missile has position vector with components

x=v_0\cos20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_xt^2

y=v_0\sin20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_yt^2

The missile's final position after 9.20 s has to be a vector whose distance from the origin is 19,500 m and situated 32.0 deg relative the positive horizontal axis. This means the final position should have components

x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\cos32.0^\circ

y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\sin32.0^\circ

So we have enough information to solve for the components of the acceleration vector, a_x and a_y:

x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_x(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_x=21.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\sin20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_y(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_y=110\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

The acceleration vector then has direction \theta where

\tan\theta=\dfrac{a_y}{a_x}\implies\theta=79.2^\circ
