Newton's first law can be taken to mean that if something is moving it tends to keep moving. if at rest it tends to stay at rest.

so, in a car, you and the car are both moving, say at constant speed. Now you're not actually connected to the car as in clamped to it, not yet at least. You're simply sitting in it at rest with respect to it.

but, someone slams on the brakes for whatever reason. The car slows down/stops. what do you do ? well, you would keep going. and moving a few feet in a car can be dangerous, esp if you're moving at high speed. Unless of course you're clamped to the seat, and the seat is clamped to the car and the car is clamped together. then when the car brakes, yes you'll feel the braking effect, but the belt will restrict your movement, keeping you safe, if shocked and bruised.

What is the height of a 2.00 kg object if its potential energy is 100 J?
lara31 [8.8K]

<u>Given that:</u>

       height (h) = ?

       mass  (m) = 2 Kg ,

       Potential energy (P.E.) = 100 J ;

    We know that P.E = m × g × h

                            100 J = 2 × 9.81 × h

                                h = (100) ÷ (2 × 9.81)

                              <em>  h  = 5.09 m</em>

A 8 kilogram cat is resting on top of a bookshelf that is 2 meters high. What is the cat’s gravitational potential energy relati
slava [35]

-ZERO-   No 17.6 pound Earth-bound cat is going to be able to jump to the top of a 6 feet 7 inch bookshelf unassisted!  Someone should call the SPCA on the writer of this textbook question ;-)

Assuming that this overweight cat is content being placed in such a lofty position, your professor probably wants the answer of <u>156.8 Joules</u>

Mass x  Acceleration of Gravity (on Earth) x elevation = Potential Energy

8 Kg x 9.8 m/s2  x 2 m  = 156.8 J

Lelu [443]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Given that an elevator moving down passes its neighbor, an elevator moving up. Their speed relative to one another is 8 m/s. What is the velocity of each elevator relative to someone standing on the first floor? Assume that the elevators are traveling at the same speed, and that the upward direction is

positive.

Solution

Given that upward direction is positive, then, the downward direction will be negative.

To get a relative velocity of 8m/s

4 - ( - 4 ) = 8

Therefore, the correct answer will be

One elevator is moving at 4 m/s; the other elevator is moving at -4 m/s

Which is option B

Because the negative multiply by negative sign will give positive sign.

Given

4 + 4 = 8.

The fact that the magnetic field generates a force perpendicular to the instantaneous velocity of the particle has implications
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

<h2>c. remain constant</h2>

Explanation:

Such type of field that is created by the magnetic condition is known as magnetic field. Such type of the developed by electrical condition and some other ways. This filed has many important roles in electrical engineering and some other fields.  

When any magnetic field acts in perpendicular condition then no work is done by the field. Thus the kinetic energy and speed of the particle remain in constant condition.
