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.

A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 16 meters apart. When a mass of 3 kilograms is tied to the middle of the cloth
Alla [95]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 41.85 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Poles = 2

Distance = 16 m

Mass = 3 kg

Sags distance = 3 m

We need to calculate the angle made with vertical by mass

Using formula of angle

\tan\theta=\dfrac{8}{3}

\thta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{8}{3}

\theta=69.44^{\circ}

We need to calculate the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline

Using formula of tension

mg=2T\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

3\times9.8=2T\times\cos69.44

T=\dfrac{3\times9.8}{2\times\cos69.44}

T=41.85\ N  

Hence, The magnitude of the tension on the ends of the clothesline is 41.85 N.

How does an electromagnet become permanent
love history [14]
<span>A moving electrical charge produces a magnetic field and a moving magnetic field produces an electrical field. An electromagnet works by coiling a bunch of wire and spinning a couple of magnets around that wire at high speeds. When this occurs the magnets induce an electric current in the wire and hence the electricity production. Once the magnets stop spinning, the induced electrical field dissipates and the current stops flowing through the wire.
