Answer:

Explanation:

It's Newton's first law of motion, and object in motion continues to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In this case, your body is the force that's moving on the bus. When you jump(the unbalanced force) your body is still used to being in motion, which makes you fall and not land on your feet.

What is the final velocity of a body if it is moving with 13 m/s in 300 seconds and its acceleration is 30 m/s 2.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

9013m/s

Explanation:

acceleration= v- u/ t

=> at = v-u

=> v = at + u

=> v =30*300+13

= 9013m/s

What is your acceleration while sitting in your chair. the latitude of corvallis is 44.4˚.?

<span>You can start with the equations you know

a=v^2/r = (2pi*r/T)^2/r = 4pi^2r/T^2

Radius of earth (R) = 6378.1 km
Time in one day (T) = 86400 seconds
Latitude = 44.4 degrees

If you draw a circle and have the radius going out at a 44.4 degree angle above the center you can then find the r.

r=Rcos(44.4)
r=6378.1cos(44.4)
r= 4556.978198 km or 4556978 m

Now you can plug this value into the acceleration equation from above...

a= 1.8*10^8/7.47*10^9
a= .0241 m/s^2 </span>
