Hey there Kendrell!

Yes, this is very true, when the car slows down, our bodies will tend to lean forward a little bit, and this is actually due to the "motion of inertia".

Inertia allows for this to happen, this is why in this case, we have this case.

Hope this helps.

A 296-kg motorcycle is accelerating up along a ramp that is inclined 26.2° above the horizontal. The propulsion force pushing th

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The magnitude of the motorcycle's acceleration is 5.20 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of motorcycle = 296 kg

Angle = 26.2°

Force on motorcycle= 3106 N

Force = 286 N

We need to calculate the magnitude of the motorcycle's acceleration

The net force acting on the motorcycle

Using newton's second law

$ma=F_{p}-F_{air}-F_{g}$

$ma=F_{p}-F_{air}-mg\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$296a=3106-286-296\times9.8\times\sin26.2$

$a=\dfrac{3106-286-296\times9.8\times\sin26.2}{296}$

$a=5.20\ m/s^2$

Hence, The magnitude of the motorcycle's acceleration is 5.20 m/s².
