Answer:

(c) in the barrel of the rifle

Explanation:

When we are moving in a convertible with constant speed so as per inertia all the objects are moving with same speed as that the speed of convertible.

So here we can say that bullet when shot from the rifle then its speed is same as that of convertible in horizontal direction

So here we can say that if air friction is absent then bullet will move same horizontal distance as the distance moved by you in the convertible

so after it it will reach again at the same position then the displacement of you and bullet is same in horizontal direction so we can say that correct answer will be

(c) in the barrel of the rifle

How does a seat belt counteract Newton’s law
gavmur [86]
The seat belt counteracts newtons Newton's law is by preventing an object that is in motion to keep going. This is an example of Newton's First Law which when an object that is in motion stays in motion unless an unbalanced forces acts on it, and in this scenario the seat belt.

A ball is dropped from rest from the top of a building of height h. At the same instant, a second ball is projected vertically u
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Given that a ball is dropped from rest from the top of a building of height h. At the same instant, a second ball is projected vertically upward from ground level, such that it has zero speed when it reaches the top of the building.

a. When do the two balls pass each other?

The the balls will pass each other before the second ball reach half of the height of the building. Because the velocity of the second ball decreases as it goes upwards while the velocity of the first ball increases as it moves downwards

b. Which ball has greater speed when they are passing?

The first ball of course because the velocity of the second ball decreases as it goes upwards while the velocity of the first ball increases as it moves downwards

c. What is the height of the two balls when they are passing?

Taking the height from the bottom of the building upward

Since the two balls meet at a certain point, they will both have the same height.

A car moves 60 meters as it accelerates from 0 m/s to 50 m/s. determine the acceleration of the car
Marizza181 [45]

Acceleration = speed/ time

    a = Δv/Δ t  

as Δv = v₂ - v₁  / t

a   =   50m /s - 0 m/s  /  60m

=      50m/s / 60m

=    0.834s⁻¹
