When a car slows down suddenly, passengers in the car tend to move toward the front of the car. What is this due to?

Neko [114]

Hey there Kendrell!

Yes, this is very true, when the car slows down, our bodies will tend to lean forward a little bit, and this is actually due to the "motion of inertia".

Inertia allows for this to happen, this is why in this case, we have this case.

Hope this helps.

The tops of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge in San franciscoo , are 227 m above the water. Suppose a worker drops a 655 g w

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is 1425.11 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the wrench is, $m=655\ g=0.655\ kg$

Height of fall is, $h=227\ m$

Force of resistance is, $F=0.141\ N$

Now, the total energy at the top is equal to the potential energy of the wrench at the top since the kinetic energy at the top is 0.

Now, potential energy at the top is given as:

$U=mgh\\U=0.655\times 9.8\times 227\\U=1457.113\ J$

Now, the potential energy at the top is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and some energy is wasted in overcoming the resistance force by air.

Potential Energy = Kinetic energy + Energy to overcome resistance.

⇒ Kinetic energy = Potential Energy - Energy to overcome resistance.

Energy to overcome resistance force is the work done by the wrench against the resistance force and is given as:

$W_{res}=Fh=0.141\times 227=32.007\ J$

Therefore, Kinetic energy at the bottom is given as:

$K=U-W_{res}\\\\K=1457.113\ J - 32.007\ J\\\\K=1425.106\approx1425.11\ J$

Hence, the kinetic energy of the wrench be when it hits the water is 1425.11 J.

Two conducting spheres are each given a charge Q. The radius of the larger sphere is three times greater than that of the smalle

padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

If E₀ is the electric field outside the smaller sphere and r is the radius of larger sphere.

E₀ = kQ/r²

The radius of the larger sphere is 3r and the charge on both sphere is same then the electric field outside the larger sphere is given as

E = kQ/(3r)² = kQ/9r² = 1/9 (kQ/r²)= 1/9 x E₀

hence the correct option is e.
