Explanation of Solution
We are riding in the passenger seat of an American car, sitting on the right side of the front seat. As the car makes a sharp turn, we experience an impulse to the left in a left turn.
Newton’s first law states that an object continues to be under the state of uniform motion unless an external force act on it. The body is not well attached to the car so there is no centripetal force pulling it toward the center of the curve. It seems to move from your reference frame to the right because it's all moving left around you attached to the car.
Centrifugal force acts on us to the right in the left turn as the reaction force to the applied centripetal force and thrown us to the right and hits the right door of the car.
Conclusion:
Therefore, in order to balance the centripetal force, the centrifugal force acts on us to the right in the left turn and thrown as to the right.

- I need help with this problem and an explanation for the solution described below. (University Physics 1: Thermodynamics)arrow_forwardAn astronomer discovered two planets, X and Y, orbiting a star. From the perspective of the astronomer, the planets orbit the star as depicted in the figures. Five years ago, the planets were in the position shown in figure (a), with X, Y, and the star in a straight line. Today, planet X is in the position shown in figure (b), having made an angular displacement of 90.0°. If the radii of their orbits are in the ratio 5:4, what is the angular displacement of Y? (Give your answer in revolutions.) a b 1/5 × Equate Newton's law of universal gravitation with his second law, noting that the force in this case is a centripetal force, and use the relationship among angular velocity, radius, and linear velocity. Solve for the angular velocity of planet Y, and calculate the angular displacement in revolutions. revolutionsarrow_forwardQ4.

- A bird dives to catch a fish at 5.00 m/s. Biologists say this bird makes a noise at 115.000 Hz. Field biologists are on a stationary boat as the bird approaches them, and they measure the frequency of the bird's sound to be 116.668 Hz. What is the air temperature that day, in degrees Fahrenheit? Express your answer to 3 sig figs. Note: This calculation is very sensitive to rounding. Keep to at least 4 places after the decimal point during your calculations.arrow_forwardA eats of Softe Four adult polar bears, each of mass 440. kg, are adrift on an ice floe in the seawaters of the Arctic Ocean.
