Answer with Explanation:

Newton's laws are applicable for inertial frames of reference which is a frame which is not accelerating when seen from the observer standing on earth.

For the person as he presses the brakes his frame is a decelerating frame of reference hence he cannot apply the newtons laws of motion as they are in their original form but if he analyses the motion he has to apply a correction known as  pseudo-force on the object he is analyzing. Pseudo Force has no basis in newton's laws but are a correction that needs to be applied if he wishes to analyse the motion from non inertial frame of reference

While as a person standing on earth outside the car since his frame is an inertial frame of reference he can apply newton's laws of motion without any correction.

ben walks 2 m from his desk to the teachers desk. From the teachers desk he then walks 3 m in the same direction to the classroo
vaieri [72.5K]
Distance is the total length covered = 2m + 3m = 5m

Displacement is his distance from original position.

Displacement =  2m + (-3)m.               Representing the 3m walked back as -3.

Displacement = 2m - 3m = -1m.

So his displacement  is 1m behind his original starting point.

Vector → A points due north and vector → B points due west. Both vectors have the same magnitude. Which of the following vectors
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

B - A

Explanation:

For the combination of 2 vector to due southwest, 1 vector must due south and the other vector due west. Since vector B is already due west, vector A should due south. As vector A is already due north, vector -A would due south. So the combination of B + (-A) or B - A should points southwest

Which statement explains the polarity of a water molecule?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D. The oxygen side is partially negative because electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Explanation:

The water molecule is polar by the virtue of covalent bonds and the hydrogen bonds within and between its molecule.

The oxygen side is partially negative because the electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Between oxygen and hydrogen that makes up the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative.

An electronegative atom has more affinity for electrons. Since the electrons in the molecule of water is shared between hydrogen and oxygen, the more electronegative specie which is water draws the electron more to itself.

This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen atom.
