A.

Newton's first law. When the bus starts, Shelly is still at rest so she resists motion. (When the bus stops, she'll jolt forward)

Answer: A. The inertia of Shelly

Explanation:

We know from Newton's first law that an object does not changes its state of rest or motion until an unbalanced external force exerts on it. This is also known as law of inertia. Initially Shelly and school bus are in rest state. when the driver starts the school bus and moves forward, Shelly experiences a backward jolt. This is because initially Shelly was in rest state but the bus started moving so she would feel a backward pseudo force.

Mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of which of the following types of forces?magnetic
Tju [1.3M]
<h2>Answer: electrostatic and gravitational force </h2><h2 />

Mechanical energy remains constant (conserved) if only <u>conservative forces</u> act on the particles.  

In this sense, the following forces are conservative:  

-Gravitational  

-Elastic

-Electrostatics  

While the Friction Force and the Magnetic Force are not conservative.

According to this, mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of electrostatic and gravitational forces.

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 365 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a. i=4760 kg*m/s

b. D_U= 1.11 m

Explanation:

a)

F= 120,000N

Kinetic energy @ impact = 120,000*depth

K_E= (1/2)*85kg*(56m/s)^2

K_E=133280 J

D_U= \frac{133280J}{120000N} = 1.11 m

b)

The momentum is equal to the impulse on him from the snow so:

p=m*v

p=85kg*56m/s

i=4760 kg*m/s
