The answer is a matter of opinion, and you're going to get different answers
from different people. Here's <u>my</u> take on it:
The writers, producers and advertising sponsors of these shows certainly
don't think they're boring. And <em><u>definitely</u></em> neither do the TV networks that
decide which ones to broadcast.
I'm not trying to say "The experts don't think they're boring, so you must
be wrong". I'm trying to say that different people have different opinions
about the same shows, and in <em>your</em> case,<em> you</em> find them boring.
My conclusion is this:
I think you're finding TV shows boring nowadays because you're growing
as a person. You've grown, developed, and matured to the point where
you're above the level of audience that the shows are pitched for. That's
a very good thing !
You're sad because you used to get pleasure and entertainment from TV,
and now it doesn't give you those things. That's like losing an old friend,
that you used to have such fun playing with, but he just doesn't do it for
you any more.
Now that you've grown up, you've made new friends. With them, you do
things that you wouldn't even understand with your younger friends. And
you develop new interests, like ... I don't know ... books, movies, hobbies,
your church, your profession, learning new things, developing new skills,
exercising your brain, writing, volunteer work, ham radio, building fine
furniture, singing, learning to write music, raising tropical plants, sculpture,
politics ... whatever turns you on. Some people never grow past the stage
where staring at the tube is all they need in life, because they don't have
what it takes to be interested in anything else. Those are the people that
TV is aimed at. But you have more, and that's why TV isn't enough for you.
There are other possible reasons why TV bores you. But until I know more
about you, I think it's a very, very good sign.
It would mean that only one side of earth would be light and the other dark all the time also we would only see the sun on one side and on the other we see the moon
Answer:
Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.
Explanation:
The law of conservation of energy states that in absence of frictional forces, the mechanical energy of an object (given by the sum of its kinetic and potential energy) is conserved. In such a situation, the skateboarder would never stop his motion, because potential energy is continuously converted into kinetic energy and vice-versa, but the total energy remains the same so he would never stop.
In a real world, however, this is not true. In fact, in a real world some frictional force are present, in particular:
- friction: this force is due to the contact between the skateboard and the surface of the halfpipe, and its direction is always opposite to the motion of the skateboarder
- Air resistance: this force is due to the resistance opposed by the molecules of air that the skateboarder meets during his motion, and its direction is also opposite to the motion of the skateboarder
This two forces are said to be non-conservative forces, which means that they cause some of the mechanical energy of the skateboarder to be "lost", in the sense that it is dissipated as heat and it is no longer available for the skateboarder.
Therefore, the correct option is
Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.
Answer:
Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km
Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km
Explanation:
If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be 
(<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where 
is the speed of the automobile and 
the speed of the train.
So we have 
.
So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:
And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):
If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using 
(<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:
