My best hobby is driving. Driving has something to do with Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will continue to be in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by an external force. This law means that an object will continue to be in motion in the same direction unless it is acted upon by a force. Newton's first law of motion is also called the law of inertia.
I usually experience the law of inertia when I am driving my car.
Every morning, for me to move the car from its state of rest to a state of uniform motion, I have to switch on the ignition, which represent an unbalanced force that move the car out of its states of rest. When I am driving, the car continue in motion and in the same direction, unless I apply the brake. The application of the brake is an example of applying an unbalanced force to stop a body in motion.
Apply Newton's second law to the person's motion:
F = ma
F = net force, m = mass, a = acceleration
Given values:
m = 50.8kg, a = 3.50m/s²
Plug in and solve for F:
F = 50.8(3.50)
F = 178N
Answer:
10
Explanation:
i = 5/.5 = 10 Amps. Hope this helps :)
I'm sure you've noticed that an airplane high in the sky, far away
from you, looks like it's moving very slowly. At the same time,
somebody passing you on a skateboard whizzes past you at
high speed. The farther away something is from you, the slower
it appears to move.
The nearest star outside the solar system is almost 32 thousand times
as far away from us as the farthest visible planet (Saturn) is, and all of the
other stars are farther than that.
That's why you have to wait a few thousand years before you notice
that the shape of a constellation has changed.
To put it a slightly different way . . . Everything is in motion. The motion is
more noticeable for nearby things, and less noticeable for farther-away things.
Objects within our solar system are the only ones near enough so that a human
lifetime is a long enough period in which to notice the change in their position.
Even Pluto moves less then 1.5° against the 'background' stars in a whole year.
This all makes me feel small. How about you ?
