This dude was sitting in the chair. Someone pulls the chair out from under him. He does not move in the direction of the chair.

He simply falls to the ground in the same spot he was sitting. This shows inertia because:

Answer:

This shows inertia because inertia is an object's resistance to change in motion. When the person (imma call them a she) who pulled the chair from under the guy did that, the chair was the one affected by the force of the girl, not the guy. The guy continued heading in the direction he was originally going, which was down.

At least, that's about how I would answer this question.

A bucket of mass M (when empty) initially at rest and containing a mass of water is being pulled up a well by a rope exerting a
Naily [24]

Answer:

V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT

Explanation:

Given that

Constant rate of leak =R

Mass at time T ,m=RT

At any time t

The mass = Rt

So the total mass in downward direction=(M+Rt)

Now force equation

(M+Rt) a =P- (M+Rt) g

a=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g

We know that

a=\dfrac{dV}{dt}

\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g

\int_{0}^{V}V=\int_0^T \left(\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g\right)dt

V=\dfrac{P}{R}\ ln\dfrac{M+RT}{M}-gT

V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT

This is the velocity of bucket at the instance when it become empty.

One event occurs at the origin at t equal to zero, and a second events occurs at the point x=5m along the x-axis at time with ct
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

  • The separation will be spacelike.
  • The first event can't cause the second event, as there exist an frame of reference in which both happens at the same time, in different positions, so, if there were causally connected, it will imply an instant connection, this is faster than light.

Explanation:

We can define the separation between two events (using the + - - - signature)  as :

(\Delta s )^2  = (ct_2 - c t_1 )^2 - (x_2 - x_1)^2

where the separation will be lightlike if is equal to zero, timelike if is positive and spacelike if is negative.

For our problem

c t_1 = 0

x_1 = 0

ct_2 = 4 \ m

x_2 = 5 \ m

(\Delta s )^2  = (4 \ m - 0 )^2 - ( 5 \ m - 0)^2

(\Delta s )^2  = (4 \ m )^2 - ( 5 \ m 0)^2

(\Delta s )^2  = 16 \ m^ 2 - 25 \ m^2

(\Delta s )^2  = - 9\ m^2

So the separation will be spacelike, and the first event can't cause the second event, as there exist an frame of reference in which both happens at the same time, in different positions, so, if there were causally connected, it will imply an instant connection, this is faster than light.

Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher, thought that heavy objects fall to Earth faster than lighter objects. How could Aristo
Tom [10]
Gravitational potential energy=mass of object x gravitational field strength on earth(9.8 usually rounded to 10) x the height the object is held at

Therefore if two objects were held at the same height, the object with more mass(the heavier object) will fall faster because it's gravitational potential energy is greater than that of the lighter object

What would be the effect of increasing voltage through a resistor?
Mazyrski [523]
'Voltage' is not a quantity that goes 'through' anything.  It's the difference of electrical potential between two points, so we usually talk about the voltage 'across' a resistor, or between its ends.

The electrical 'current' through a resistor is directly proportional to the voltage between its ends. So, if the voltage across the resistor is increased by some factor, the current through it increases by the same factor.
