Estimate the acceleration you subject yourself to if you walk into a brick wall at normal walking speed. (Make a reasonable esti
1 answer:
Answer:
From certain assumptions that the walking speed is 2 m/s, and the stop time is 0.1 s the acceleration would be -20 m/s
Explanation:
Using the average acceleration formula:
where
and
are the changes in the speed and time respectively.
We have by assuming that the walking speed is 2 m/s and the stop time is 0.1s which is equal to the change in time during the stopping.
, where
are the initial speed and final speed respectively, and
Plugging the previous in the average acceleration formula we get
where the minus sign indicates an acceleration in the opposite direction of the motion (or in other word opposite to the speed's direction).

Answer:
Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field
Explanation:
Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90 to the equipotential surface.
Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.
Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.
