If you were to jump sideways from a train (not that it would be smart), you should roll forward because of inertia which is an objects tendency to resist a change in motion. Since the train is moving forward and you are in it you technically are moving with the train. To slow yourself and not get hurt you must work with inertia.

What features does a paper plane need to land?

A paper plane should have proper balance and stability to ensure a smooth landing. It should have an aerodynamic design with curved wings to generate lift and control its descent. The angle of the wings and the weight distribution should be optimized to improve its landing capabilities.


How does the size of parachute effect on its landing?

A larger parachute will create more air resistance, slowing down the descent and leading to a softer landing. A smaller parachute will fall faster and may result in a rougher landing due to the increased speed. The size of the parachute should be chosen based on the weight of the object being descended and the desired landing conditions.


When moving an object you should lead with your head or with your hand?

You should lead with your hand when moving an object to have better control and avoid injury. Your head should be in a neutral position to maintain good posture and prevent strain on your neck and back.


You are walking toward the back of a bus that is moving forward with a constant velocity. Describe your motion relative to the bus and relative to a point on the ground?

Relative to the bus, you are moving towards the back. If your walking speed is slower than the speed of the moving bus (which it usually will be) then your motion relative to a point on the ground will be moving in the direction of the moving bus, but slower by the speed at which you are walking.


Is the word moving an adverb?

No. Moving is the present tense of the verb 'to move'. Move is the future tense or also a command (Please move, move now!), moving is the present (I am moving), and moved is the past tense (You should have moved faster when you moved!).

How does inertia explain why you should wear a seat belt in a moving car?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. When a car suddenly stops, your body continues moving forward at the same speed due to inertia. Wearing a seat belt helps counteract this effect by securely holding you in place, preventing you from being thrown forward and reducing the risk of injury during a collision or abrupt stop.


How do you do a simple figure skating jump?

The easiest jump you could do is a Waltz jump. That's simply stroking forward and then going on your left toepick, then kicking your free leg forward and puch off with your left. You should start going forward and then landing going backwards.

Why should you not get out of a moving car?

The forward momentum of the car would still push you forward, and you would be dragged on the ground for some time. But if you really want to know for sure, try it. You'll find out pretty quickly why it's not a good thing. With all that said, never, even if a car is moving slowly walk out of a moving car.
