To get a feeling for inertial forces discuss the familiar cases of accelerating in a car in a straight line while increasing or

decreasing speed and turning the wheel to change direction. What direction do you feel a force in these scenarios and how does the strength of that force change if you either hit gas/brake harder or turn sharper?

Answer:

Explanation:

When we accelerate in a car on a straight path we tend to lean backward because our lower body part which is directly in contact with the seat of the car gets accelerated along with it but the upper the upper body experiences this force  later on due to its own inertia. This force is accordance with Newton's second law of motion and is proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the upper body part.

Conversely we lean forward while the speed decreases and the same phenomenon happens in the opposite direction.

While changing direction in car the upper body remains in its position due to inertia but the lower body being firmly in contact with the car gets along in the direction of the car, seems that it makes the upper body lean in the opposite direction of the turn.

On abrupt change in the state of motion the force experienced is also intense in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion.

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

Let the shoulder be the origin.

The center of mass of the arm bones is 0.60 m/2 = 0.30 m and the center of mass of the hand bones is 0.10 m/2 = 0.05 m since they are modeled as straight rods with uniform density and the center of mass of a rod is x = L/2 where L is the length of the rod.

The center of mass y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂)/(m₁ + m₂) where m₁ = mass of arm bones = 4.0 kg, y₁ = distance center of mass of arm bones  from shoulder = 0.30 m, m₂ = mass of hand bones = 1.0 kg and y₂ = distance of center of mass hand bones from shoulder = x₁ + distance of center of hand bones from wrist = 0.60 m + 0.05 m = 0.65 m

Substituting these into the equation for the center of mass, we have

y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂)/(m₁ + m₂)

y = (4.0 kg × 0.30 m + 1.0 kg × 0.65 m)/(4.0 kg + 1.0 kg)

y = (1.20 kgm + 0.65 kgm)/5.0 kg

y = 1.85 kgm/5.0 kg

y =  0.37 m

The distance of the center of mass from the shoulder is thus y = 0.37 m

A mixture of gas expands from 0.03m³ to 0.06m³ at constant pressure of 1MPa & absorbs energy of 84 J. Calculate the change i
leonid [27]

Answer:54 kj

Explanation:P1 = P2 = 1000 kPa

1Q2 = 84 kJ

1W2 = P1 (V2 – V1)

= 1000 (0.06 – 0.03) = 30 kJ

1Q2 = 1W2 + 1U2

U2 – U1= 1Q2 – 1W2 = 84 – 30 = 54 kJ

erica [24]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

a. a compound that conducts electricity when molten

Explanation:

A molecular is solid comprises of a collection of molecules combined together by van der Waals forces and not having covalent or ionic bonds. They are made up of forces atoms or molecules combined by dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces or hydrogen bonds. Exmples include graphite and diamonds. The forces between the molecules in  molecular solid is also known as intermolecular forces (IMFs)

Len [333]

Answer:

0.66 m/s

Explanation:

This is an inelastic collision, for that reason the conservation of momentum law allows us to determine the final velocity of both, the bullet and block together after the collision:

m_{bullet} v_{bullet0} +m_{block} v_{block} =(m_{bullet}+m_{block})v_{f} \\v_{f} =\frac{m_{bullet} v_{bullet0} }{m_{bullet}+m_{block}} \\v_{f} =\frac{0.0047kg*678m/s}{4.8kg+0.0047kg}\\v_{f} =0.66 m/s
