Gina is driving her car to work, but she’s stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, she presses the gas pedal and acc

elerates (speeds up) to move the car. Which of these statements is true the moment Gina presses the gas pedal? Assume the road is flat and level.
-The net force on the car is zero in the horizontal direction.
-The net force on the car is zero in the horizontal and the vertical directions.
-The net force on the car is greater than zero in the horizontal direction.
-The net force on the car is greater than zero in the vertical direction.
-The net force on the car is less than zero in the vertical direction.

Which best explains how an object at rest deep in space and far from any massive body behaves compared to an object in free fall
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: They behave the same because, according to the principle of equivalence, the laws of physics work the same in all frames of reference.

Explanation:

According to the equivalence principle postulated by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, acceleration in space and gravity on Earth have the same effects on objects.

To understand it better, regarding to the equivalence principle, Einstein formulated the following:  

A gravitational force and an acceleration in the opposite direction are equivalent, both have indistinguishable effects.  Because the laws of physics must be accomplished in all frames of reference.

Hence, according to general relativity, gravitational force and acceleration in the opposite direction (an object in free fall, for example) have the same effect.  This makes sense if we deal with gravity not as a mysterious atractive force but as a geometric effect of matter on spacetime that causes its deformation.

Distance is the length of a path followed by a particle. The displacement of a particle is defined as its change in position in
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Distance is described with only magnitude. It is defined as the total path covered by an object, in other words it  is the length of a path followed by a particle.

Displacement is described with both magnitude and direction. It is distance traveled in a specified direction or  change in position in some time interval.

Therefore, the correct option is " a. True"

Brandon pushes an object on a ramp as shown in the diagram.
stiks02 [169]

The force which has the greatest effect on causing this object to slow while it remains in contact with the ramp is: B. a frictional force.

<h3>What is a force?</h3>

A force can be defined as a push or pull of an object or physical body, which typically results in a change of motion (acceleration), especially due to the interaction of the object with another.

<h3>The types of force.</h3>

In Science, there are different types of force and these include the following:

  • Gravitational force
  • Tension force.
  • Electrical force
  • Normal Force.
  • Magnetic force
  • Air resistance force
  • Applied force
  • Frictional force.

<h3>What is a frictional force?</h3>

Friction force can be defined as a type of force that resists and slows the relative motion of two physical objects when there surfaces come in contact. This ultimately implies that, a frictional force prevents two surfaces from easily sliding over or slipping across one another.

In this context, we can infer and logically deduce that the force which has the greatest effect on causing this object to slow while it remains in contact with the ramp is a frictional force.

Two bodies are falling with negligible air resistance, side by side, above a horizontal plane. If one of the bodies is given an
borishaifa [10]

Answer:a

Explanation:

Given

two bodies are falling with negligible air Resistance and one of the body is given a slight horizontal acceleration

since there is no change in vertical acceleration therefore time taken by both bodies is same irrespective of change in horizontal direction

suppose both start from rest from a height of h

time taken

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The only difference is that body with horizontal acceleration will be some distance away from first
