Give an example of Newton's second law in everyday life?

That’s the acceleration law! This would be a good example of inertia! When in a car, if the brakes are pressed immediately, the passengers will launch forward since their bodies are still in motion!

A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ) Let the initial horizontal velocity of car be v .

For vertical displacement

vertical displacement h = 21.3 - 2.3 = 19 m

Time taken to fall by 19 m be t

19 = 1/2 x 9.8 t² ( initial downward velocity is zero )

t = 1.97 s

This is also the time taken to cover horizontal displacement of 54 m which is width of river .

horizontal speed v = 54 / 1.97 m /s

v = 27.41 m /s

2 )

At the time of landing on other side , car will have both vertical and horizontal speed .

vertical speed

v = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 1.97 = 19.31 m /s

horizontal speed will remain same as the initial speed = 27.41 m /s

Resultant speed = √ ( 27.41² + 19.31² )

= √ ( 751.3 + 372.87)

= 33.52 m /s

As water heats in a pot on a stove, it might produce some mist above its surface right before the water begins to roll. What is

mr_godi [17]

When a liquid is heated, the molecules gain kinetic energy. As the liquid begins to boil they have enough energy to break the intermolecular attractions between their neighbors. This happens first at the surface before the volume below has enough energy to boil. Thus you see high energy water molecules escaping from the surface as mist.

What force is needed to accelerate a 1,000-kilogram car from a stop to 5 m/s/s?

solong [7]

That depends on how soon you want it to reach 5 m/s/s. Without friction, ANY force will accelerate the car, like a mosquito pushing on it, but a Space Shuttle booster will accelerate it at a greater rate.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

e. Not enough information to determine

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question with my solution afterwards;

A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a turntable, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The turntable (initially at rest) begins to rotate with its rate of rotation constantly increasing.

What is the first event that will occur?(Assume non-zero frictional force and the same coefficients of friction for both bugs.)

a. The ladybug begins to slide

b. The gentleman bug begins to slide

c. Both bugs begin to slide at the same time

d. Nothing ever happens

e. Not enough information to determine

The centripetal force acting on a rotating body or bugs can be written as,

$F=mrw^2$

$m=$ mass of the corresponding bugs

$r=$ corresponding radial distance of each bug

$w=$ angular speed of the turntable

The centripetal force tries to slide the bugs in an outward direction and it is directly proportional to the products of its mass and radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable

$F$ ∝ $mr$

Since the radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable for each bug is given, but the mass is not given, the given information is therefore not enough to determine which bugs will slide first.

Option "e" is correct.
