Time travel would create paradoxes and history could be altered, resulting in something called the "butterfly effect". This means that even the smallest of changes can result in a HUGE difference. If you traveled back in time, you would interact with people and things. This would alter history, creating massive ripples in time. The movie "Back to the Future" and the new Harry Potter book have great examples of this. Hope I answered your question!

Why exactly do you mean

puteri [66]
That the field studys the social context in relationships, society, family, school, etc. The way we form relationships, how society affects the relationships we decide to form, how much society influences our decisions, jobs, education( more than we can imagine.)
I believe the most aggravating issue is the police bruality. The fact that the men who are suppose to be heroes, save lives through enforcing the laws, and give protection to the citizens, are instead acting as criminals themselves killing and creating a sense of danger is inexcusable and a solution needs to be made .

Which person would experience the greatest force of impact in a sudden collision? A 200 lb. man traveling 20 mph b 150 lb. woman
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

<em>The 150 lb woman at 30 mph would experience the greatest force of impact in a sudden collision.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

The force of impact exerted on an moving object that suddenly stops or changes its movement is measures by the physics magnitude called Impulse, which can be computed with the formula

I=F.t

Where F is the force and t is the time that force acts to produce the impact on the object. The impulse is also defined as the change in the momentum of the object:

I=\Delta p=p_2-p_1

Or equivalently

I=m(v_2-v_1)

The question describes four situations where different persons and object suffer impact that make them stop from their moving state. Thus v_2=0 and the impulse is

I=-m.v_1

We are only interested in the relative magnitudes of each case, so we won't consider the sign in the calculations

Case 1: A 200 lb. man traveling 20 mph  

I_1=200(20)=4000\ lb.mph

Case 2: A 150 lb. woman at 30 mph

I_2=150(30)=4500\ lb.mph

Case 3: A 35 lb. infant at 75 mph

I_3=35(75)=2625\ lb.mph

Case 4: A 75 lb. child at 55 mph

I_4=75(55)=4125\ lb.mph

By comparing the results, we can see that the 150 lb woman at 30 mph would experience the greatest force of impact in a sudden collision.

A force of 100N is applied to an area of 100mm².what is the pressure exerted on the area in N/m².​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

P = 1000000[Pa] = 1000 [kPa]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of pressure, which is equal to the relationship of force over area.

P=F/A

where:

P = pressure [Pa] (units of pascals)

F = force = 100 [N]

A = area = 100 [mm²]

But first we must convert the units from square millimeters to square meters.

A=100[mm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2} m^{2} }{1000^{2}mm^{2}  } =0.0001[m^{2} ]

Now replacing:

P=100/0.0001\\P=1000000[Pa]

In Figure 21-4 B, does the magnetic field -due to the current carrying wire- curve in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction
weeeeeb [17]

The magnetic field between the poles of the horseshoe magnet in fig 21.4 B curves in the <u>counter clockwise direction.</u>

The magnetic field lines due to a straight current carrying conductor is given by the right hand thumb rule.  This rule is stated as follows: Imagine holding the current carrying conductor in your right hand with the thumb pointing in the direction of current, then the direction in which your fingers curve around the wire gives the direction of the magnetic field lines. The direction of the magnetic field lines at a point gives the direction of magnetic field at that point.

On applying this rule, it can be seen that the magnetic field  due to the conductor shown in Fig 21.4 B curves in the counter clockwise direction.

Example of first, second and third law of motion.​
statuscvo [17]

Examples of Newton's three law of motion.

First law of motion: A rocket being launched up in the atmosphere.

Second law of motion:while riding a bicycle, a bicycle acts as a mass and our legs pushing on the pedals of the bicycle is the force.

Third law of motion:when we jump off from the boat,the boat moves backward.

Hope,it will helpyouu!
