Amusement parks are a great place to see Newton's laws of motion in action. Choose your favorite ride and describe the parts of the ride that illustrate each of Newton's laws of motion. You are only required to give a written description; however, if you would like, you may draw and label a picture in addition to the paragraph explanation. Please be sure to look at the rubric to see exactly what you are expected to include!

Answer 1
Answer: Since it's against good conscience, I will not directly tell you how Newtonian mechanics relates to one's favorite amusement park ride, but I can still assist. Think about the very last ride you were on. There are always Newtonian forces acting on you, but even more-so at the amusement park. Anything dealing with the 'forces' of gravity or centrifugal force will do, and these are seen throughout just about every ride fathomable in a park.

One consequence of Einstein's theory of special relativity is that mass is a form of energy. This mass-energy relationship is perhaps the most famous of all physics equations: E=mc2, where m is mass, c is the speed of the light, and E is the energy. In SI units, the units of speed are m/s. For the preceding equation to have consistent units (the same units on both sides of the equation), the units of E must be which of the following?

Why is ambulance written laterally inverted on the front of an ambulance van

Answers

Answer: So if you are looking in your mirror in the car, you will clearly see what the vehicle is.

Explanation: When there are flashing lights and noises coming from behind you in a car, your first response is going to be checking your mirrors. When you look at the inverted "ambulance" you will see it correctly.

CondensationRadiationConvectionConduction transfers heat within the atmosphere and ocean.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Sun is the only source of heat on earth. Heat from sun first passes through atmosphere and then fall on the earth's surface i.e. land and ocean.

Condensation, Radiation, Convection, Conduction transfers heat within the atmosphere and ocean such as rise of hot air, cooling and then falling is the example of convection whereas, heat from fire is the example of radiation.

condensation, radiation, convection, conduction are many ways heat is transferred from atmosphere to ocean. however heat comes from the sun then, to the atmosphere.

You try to hit an annoying pigeon by throwing a ball straight up into the air with a velocity of 16 m/s. What is its velocity 0.5s into flight?

Answers

Answer:

20.9 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 16 m/s

We need to find its velocity 0.5 s into flight when a ball straight up into the air. Let it is v. It will move under the action of gravity. Using first equation of motion to find it as follows :

v=u+at

Here, a = g

v = 16 + 9.8(0.5)

v = 20.9 m/s

So, the final velocity is 20.9 m/s.

A 0.5 kg ball is dropped from rest at a point 1.2m above the floor. The ball rebounds straight upward to a height of 0.7m. What are the magnitude and direction of the impulse of the net force applied to the ball during the collision with the floor.

Answers

Answer:

4.281 kgm/s upward

Explanation:

Impulse:This can be defined product of force and time. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns.

From Newton's second law of motion,

Impulse = Change in momentum.

I = mΔv....................... Equation 1.

Where m = mass of the ball, Δv = change in velocity of the ball  

and Δv = v -u

Where u = velocity of the ball before it hit the floor, v = velocity of the ball after if hit the floor

I = m(v-u) -------------- Equation 2

But

the initial kinetic energy of the ball = potential energy at the initial height (1.2 m above)

1/2mu² = mgh₁

Where h₁ = initial height. or height of the ball before collision

making u the subject of the equation,

u = √(2gh₁)........................ Equation 3

Where h₁ = 1.2 m g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 3

u = √(2×1.2×9.81)

u =√(23.544)

u = -4.852 m/s.

Note: u is negative because the ball was moving downward at the first instance.

Similarly,

v = √(2gh₂)............................. Equation 3

h₂ = height of the ball after collision

Given: h₂ = 0.7 m, g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation

v = √(2×9.81×0.7)

v = √13.734

v = 3.71 m/s.

Also given: m = 0.5 kg,

Substituting into equation 2

I = 0.5(3.71-(4.852)

I = 0.5(8.562)

I = 4.281 kgm/s. Upward.

Thus the impulse = 4.281 kgm/s upward

What is an example of a series circuit

Answers

Answer:

Explanation

The most famous and common example is Christmas tree lights. You can't tell easily by looking at them whether they are in series or parallel. But you sure know the difference when one of them burns out. When that happens, the whole string goes dead. No matter what you do (other than find out which bulb burned out) will not fix the problem.

Another example is anything that is temperature controlled. For example a furnace is controlled by a thermostat. When the room temperature reaches a certain point, the thermostat is constructed in a certain way so that it forms an open circuit and no current can flow through it. The furnace motor turns off and the furnace stops pumping hot air into a room.
