Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion.

According to Newton's First Law of Motion states that an body at rest will remain at rest or move at a constant speed in a straight line unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force.


The train is this case is moving forward it will continue to move forward unless friction or the brakes interfere with its movement. Say for instance the train abruptly accelerated then the passengers may feel it as though their bodies are moving backward. In reality, inertia is making the body want to stay in place as the train moves forward.



Sorry if the explainataion is long. Do you understand or are you confused?

calculate the value of net force acting on given body?5N acting towards right & 15N force acting towards left on the brick.(
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The net force acting on the body is 10N directed to the left.

Explanation:

   Magnitude of force to the right = 5N

   Magnitude of force to the left  = 15N

Net force acting on the object and in what direction;

Solution:

It is the vector sum of all forces acting on a body. This net force is the single force that will replace the forces acting on a body;

  For the problem;

   Net force  = Force to the left + Force to the right

 Let us take left to be negative and right to be positive;

    Force to the left  = -15N

    Net force  = -15N + 5N  = -10N

The net force acting on the body is 10N directed to the left.

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

r=0.41m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

\tau=r\times F

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

\tau=rFsin\theta

Where \theta is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when sin\theta is equal to one, solving for r:

r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m

In both the camera and the __________, light enters a narrow opening and is projected onto a photosensitive surface. Group of an
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: The HUMAN EYE

Explanation:

The human eye is made up of different parts which ranges from controlling the amount of light that enters the eye to the focusing of the image that is formed. The camera is a device which is both mechanically and electronically operated which shares a number of similarities with the eye.

In the human eye, the IRIS helps to regulate the amount of rays passing through the pupil to the lens by either contracting or dilating in light or dark environment respectively. While in the camera, the DIAPHRAGM controls the amount of light entering the camera.

The PUPIL serves as the passage for light into the eye while in the camera, the APERTURE does the same.

The photosensitive surface in the eye is the YELLOW SPOT while in the camera, the photosensitive surface is the PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM.
