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.

<span>a = (v2 - v1)/t= acceleration formula

a = (70 - 0)/7
a = 10 km/hr/sec
-----
It's better to use as few units as possible.
10 km/hr = 10 km*1000 m/km/(1 hr*3600 sec/hr) = 25/9 m/sec
a= 25/9 m/sec/se</span>

Without using a micrometer screw gauge, how do I find the average diameter of a long piece of thin wire using a metre rule and a
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Wind the long piece of thin wire around the uniform glass rod multiple times, find the length of the total diameters using the metre ruler, and divide by the number of times you wound it around the rod.

Explanation:

Since the diameter of one long piece of thin wire is too thin to be measured by a metre ruler, you can wind it multiple times and push it side by side to get a length you can measure.

For example, if you wound it around 20 times and the total length of 20 diameters of the wire side-by-side is 2.0 cm, one winding, which is the diameter would be 2.0cm ÷ 20 = 0.10cm or 1mm.

An aluminum cylinder weighing 30 N, 6 cm in diameter and 40 cm long, is falling concentrically through a long vertical sleeve of
Georgia [21]

Answer: Velocity terminal = 0.093m/s

Explanation:

1. We start by evaluating the gap distance between the two cylinders as h = R(sleeve) - R(cylinder)

= (0.0604/2 - 0.06/2)m

= 2×10^-4

Surface are of the cylinder in the drop, which is required in order to evaluate the shearing stress can be expressed as A(cylinder) = π.d.L

= (π×0.06×0.4)m²

= 0.075m²

Since the force of the cylinder's weight is going to balance the shearing force on the walls, we can express the next equation and derive terminal velocity from it.

Shearing stress = u×V.terminal/h = 0.86×V/0.0002

= 4300Vterminal

Therefore, Fw = shearing stress × A

30N = 4300Vterminal × 0.075

V. terminal = 30/4300 m.s

V. terminal = 0.093m/s
