Answer #1

a)

when the car accelerates from the rest upper part of the child moves back due to the inertia of the rest.since, he hold the balioon with his hand the balloone is also carried backward but the upper part of the balloone slightly moves forward with respect to the child due to inertia of the rest.

b)

when cars breaks stop upper part of the car moves forward due to the inertia of the motion. the balloone, the child slightly moves backward with respect to the child.

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 3.3 m/s2 for 3.9 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 13.7 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car’s speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 219.99 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the...

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 5.1 m/s2 for 4.3 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 11.9 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car’s speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 361.87 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the...

A car is at rest at a stop sign and there is another stop sign 100 m down the road. The car can brake with an acceleration of 16 m/s/s. The car accelerates with a constant rate for some time before accelerating with that braking rate to come to a stop at the second stop sign. The entire trip takes 10 seconds. Let right be positive. Don't round until the end. Report using 3 digits. Don't enter units. 1/ With...

Robert is driving his convertible at the 65-mph speed limit. The car's soft, elastic ragtop roof is in the "up," or closed position, and the car's windows are closed. What will an observer most likely see happening to Robert's ragtop roof as the observer watches Robert's car move along the highway? A. The roof will bow inward toward the interior of the car. B. The roof will appear no differently than it would if the car were at rest. C....

A 2300 kg car moving at an initial speed of 25 m/s along a horizontal road skids to a stop in 50 m. (Note: When stopping without skidding and using conventional brakes, 100 percent of the kinetic energy is dissipated by friction within the brakes. With regenerative braking, such as that used in hybrid vehicles, only 70 percent of the kinetic energy is dissipated.) (a) Find the energy dissipated by friction. 718750 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. kJ (b) Find...

Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. The system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg · m2. The father exerts a force on the merry-go-round perpendicular to its 1.50 m radius to achieve a torque of 375 N · m. (a) Calculate the rotational kinetic energy (in J) in the merry-go-round plus child when they have an angular velocity of 23.2 rpm. (b) Using energy considerations, find the number of revolutions the father will have...

Consider the closed-economy model. (a) Use IS-LM and AD-AS diagrams to show what happens to the economy in the short-run, long-run, and during the transition, following an adverse supply shock . Explain in words what is happening. (b) Suppose the central bank wishes to achieve output stability; that is, suppose the central bank would like to keep Y from ever changing. In response to the change in P from the adverse supply shock, what, if anything, can the central bank...

A car is in a drag race where it accelerated from rest at 3m/s^2 until it reaches it maximum velocity. The race is 100m long. Part A: If the car reaches its maximum velocity after 5 seconds, what is the cars maximum velocity. Part B: How fat has the car travelled when it reaches it maximum velocity? Part C: As the race is 100m long, how long does it take for the car to reach the finish line?
