Sir Isaac's first law: An object in motion, tends to stay in motion. If you try and jump from a stopped position you have to exert an enormous amount of energy all at once. According to Newton, if you are already moving then you don't have to exert that burst of energy all at once. If you add that energy all at once when you are already moving then it gets added to the energy of the existing motion.

What is friction of distance?

Friction of distance refers to the idea that the farther two locations are from each other, the less interaction or communication will occur between them. This concept is often used in geography and urban planning to explain why closer locations tend to have more frequent exchanges or connections compared to those farther away.


Explain how inertia affects the passengers when a bus starts suddenly?

When a bus starts suddenly, the passengers tend to be pushed backward due to their inertia. As the bus accelerates forward, the passengers’ bodies want to stay at rest, causing them to experience a sensation of being pushed back into their seats until their bodies catch up with the bus's motion.


Explain why one feels lighter when one rides on a lift that is moving upwards and lift suddenly stops?

When the lift moves upwards, the acceleration creates a sensation of weightlessness, making you feel lighter. When the lift suddenly stops, your body continues moving upwards momentarily due to inertia before coming to a stop, which can briefly make you feel even lighter.


When the amount of work is kept constant force and distance are inverses. explain?

When the amount of work is constant, it means that the force and distance moved are inversely related to each other. This is because work is defined as the force applied over a distance. So, if the amount of work remains the same, increasing the force would decrease the distance, and vice versa.


Can a small force produce a greater torque than a large force?

Yes, a small force applied at a greater distance from the pivot point can produce a greater torque than a large force applied closer to the pivot point. This is because torque is the product of force and distance.

What is line segment RA?

with no other details I can only explain it as the distance between point R and point A. More details are needed if you want that distance when compared with other points.


Can changes in distance between the Earth and the Sun explain seasons?

Not really, the change in distance produces a small effect compared to the differences between summer and winter caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis.


How can you explain first law of Newton?

The first law of Newton, known as the law of inertia, states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. In other words, an object will not change its state of motion unless a force is applied to it.
