Why is it that when riding in a car, you don't feel like you're moving?

This may shock you:

We NEVER feel speed, velocity, or motion, as long as it's constant.

We only feel CHANGES in speed, velocity, or motion.

That means speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.

As long as we're moving in a straight line at a constant speed, we don't feel anything.

If you walk 30 meters forwards, and then turn around and walk 25 meters backwards, what is the distance that you walked? What di
xeze [42]

Given :

Walk in forward direction is 30 m .

Walk in backward direction is 25 m .

To Find :

The distance and displacement .

Solution :

We know , distance is total distance covered and displacement is distance between final and initial position .

So , distance travelled is :

D = 30 + 25 m = 55 m .

Now , we first move 30 m in forward direction and then 25 m in backward direction .

So , displacement is :

D = 30 - 25 m = 5 m .

Therefore , distance and displacement covered is 55 m and 5 m respectively .

Hence , this is the required solution .

a light ray traveling in air enters a second medium and its speed slows to 1.71 × 10^8 meters per second. what is the absolute i
givi [52]
The absolute refractive index is equal to the speed of light of the wave in air divided by the speed of light in the second medium. This means that it is equal to 3 x10^8 / 1.71 x10^8. This means the answer is 1.75

Which of the following statements is true about earth's magnetic poles
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: b) they are the areas where Earth's magnetic field is weakest

Explanation:

According to classical physics, a magnetic field always has two associated magnetic poles (north and south), the same happens with magnets. This is because for <em>classical physics</em>, naturally, magnetic monopoles can not exist.  

In this context, Earth is similar to a magnetic bar with a north pole and a south pole. This means, the axis that crosses the Earth from pole to pole is like a big magnet.  

Now, by convention, on all magnets the north pole is where the magnetic lines of force leave the magnet and the south pole is where the magnetic lines of force enter the magnet.  Then, for the case of the Earth, the north pole of the magnet is located towards the geographic south pole and the south pole of the magnet is near the geographic north pole.  

Being the magnetic poles the places where the Earth's magnetic field is weakest. And it is for this reason, moreover, that the magnetic field lines enter the Earth through its magnetic south pole (which is the geographic north pole).

If the temperature at the surface of Earth (at sea level) is 100°F, what is the temperature at 2000 feet if the average lapse ra
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

107 °F

Explanation:

Given that

The temperature at sea level = 100°F

height ,h= 2000 feet

The average lapse rate = 3.5°F/1000 feet

Given that rise in temperature 3.5°F per 1000 feet.

1000 feet ⇒ 3.5°F

Given that 2000 feet

2000 feet ⇒ 3.5°F x 2 +100°F

2000 feet ⇒ 107 °F

Therefore the temperature will be 107 °F  .
