Imagine that you are driving in your car with a heavy bag of groceries on the front seat and you slam on your brakes to stop. Th
Alexxx [7]

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!

an apple in a tree has a gravitational potential energy of 175J and a mass of 0.36g . how high from the ground is the apple
Neko [114]
The equation for potential energy is denoted as; 

Pe = mgh,

where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;

h = (Pe)/(mg)

Plug in your given units, and solve!





Post-check:

h = Pe/mg

h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)

h = appr. 49.5 meters

Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.

Who came up with the theory of relativity?
liberstina [14]

Albert Einstein, in his theory of special relativity, determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and he showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels
