Answer:

The correct answer is inertia.

Explanation:

The heavy bag of groceries is initially within the inertia frame of the car. This indicates that the heavy bag acquires the same speed as the car.

When the car stops, the heavy bag continues to move forward with the speed it had due to the principle of inertia, which states the property that the bodies cannot modify by themselves the state of rest or movement in which they are.

Have a nice day!

A book weighing 5 N rests on top of a table. 1) A downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1) A downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of of gravity

2) An upward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the table

Explanation:

First of all, any object near the Earth's surface experiences the forces of gravity, which is also called weight of the object. This force always acts downward.

For the book in the problem, the magnitude of the weight is 5 N.

We also know that the book is at rest: this means that the net force acting on it is zero, and there must be another force balancing the weight, in order to give a zero net force. This other force is the reaction force exerted by the table on the book: the magnitude of this force must be equal to the force of gravity (so, 5 N) and its direction is opposite to the weight, therefore upward.

An airplane capable of an airspeed of 100 km/hr is 60 km off the coast above the sea. If the wind is blowing from the coast out
Nady [450]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to relative speed. We will obtain it from the deduction made on the aircraft as a speed of the two components that act on it. Through the kinematic equations of motion, we can then calculate the time required.

The airspeed of airplane is 100km/h  while the wind is blowing from the coast out to sea at 40km/h. Wind is blowing from the coast out to sea means that it opposes the airspeed. Therefore, resultant relative speed of airplane is

v_r = 100-40=60km/h

Total distance is 60km then with this net velocity we have that the required time is

v = \frac{x}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{x}{v}

Where,

x = Displacement

t = Time

v = Velocity

Replacing,

t = \frac{60km}{60km/h} = 1hour

t = 60 minutes

Therefore the time taken by the plane to reach the shore is 60 minutes

You are playing a speed-based card game with your 64-year-old grandfather. The object of the game is to get rid of your cards as
Masteriza [31]

Now, you always beat him. Your grandfather is likely experiencing a slight decline in perceptual speed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed of perception refers to the capacity to accurately (and completely) compare words letter, digits, objects, images, etc. When testing, these objects can be displayed simultaneously or one after the other. This type of test can be included in the proficiency test.

For example, we have also seen all the puzzles that ask the reader to notice the differences between the two pictures. The time it takes to recognize these differences is a measure of the speed of perception. Likewise, in getting rid of cards at the given situation, grandfather experiences a less decline in his perceptual speed.
