Answer:

When the person steps on the ground, his feet do not move but his upper body moves in the direction of the bus due to inertia of its motion. Since his upper body moves in the forward direction and his lower body does not move, the person falls in the forward direction.

Answer:

PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST!!

Explanation:

A getting passenger getting down from a moving bus, falls in the direction of the motion of the bus. This is because his feet come to rest on touching the ground and the remaining body continues to move due to inertia of motion.

1. Define weight
andrezito [222]

1. Weight is the gravitational pull with which the earth attracts the body towards the center of the earth. The S.I unit is Newton (N)

2. The weight of an object is related to its mass with the below equation.

W = mg

Where W = weight, m = mass and g = acceleration due to gravity

3. The mass m = 50 kg and g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

Substitute the parameters in the equation above.

W = 50 x 9.8

W = 490 N

4. An object is accelerating when it speeds up. If the object slows down, it means it is decelerating. The correct answer is option A

5. Newton's second law of motion is:

F = ma

Where F = force applied, m = mass and a = acceleration

Therefore, Newton's second law of motion relates an object's acceleration to its net force acting on it. The correct answer is option C

6. According to Newton's second law of motion which relates an object's acceleration to its mass, doubling the net force acting on an object a doubles its acceleration. Because mass is always constant.

7. Since the weight of an object is related to its mass with the equation.

W = mg,  If the mass of an object doubles, its weight will also doubles. Option A is the correct answer.

8. If you know the mass of an object, you can calculate its weight with the formula F = mX when X = 9.8m/s^{2}

9. Force is expressed in unit as Newton (N)

10. The parameters given are :

mass m = 20kg

Force F = 40N

To calculate acceleration, use the formula F = ma

Substitute all the parameters into the equation.

40 = 20a

a = 40/20

a = 2m/s^{2}

The correct option is D

two toy cars can roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Car A is a 5 kg. Car B is 0.5 kg. Both cars start from rest. Equ
Llana [10]

Answer:

A. The momentum of car A(5kg) is EQUAL to that of car B(0.5)

Explanation:

The moment, or impulse formula of the same forces acting on both car within 1 second is

\Delta p = F * \Delta t

In our case the forces are the same, the time duration of force acting on the cars are the same. Therefore, their momentum right after the force must also be the same.

If a wave hits a smooth surface at an angle of incidence of 40 degrees, the angle of reflection is
dem82 [27]
As the surface given is a smooth surface, we can use specular reflection. According to the law of specular reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, so it will also be 40°. Answer is A.

Name three different avenues by which Thomas Edison received an education
klio [65]
Edison's education is most unique and relevant.

1. The first teacher he had was his mother
2. He found vital lessons and was influenced greatly by the book of R.G. Parker called School of Natural Philosophy
3. Another educating piece he had was a book entitled The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art

His style of learning was though reading books on a variety of subjects, a self-educating environment that fosters independent learning which can be useful through his life.
