Why does a person slide backwards when a car accelerates forward?
Wiki User

The person has inertia, the resistence to change in motion, so if the car starts accelerating forward, the person's body wants to stay at the same velocity as before, thus it slides backwards relative to the car. If there were no friction or a back of the seat to stop the person, the person would literally not move while the car moves out from under him, thus seeming to move backwards in the car while in reality the car is moving forward under the person.

If you move the slide on a microscope to the left what direction does the image move?
compare the movement of the slide, left and right or forward and backward to the movement of the eyepiece image? compare the movement of the slide, left and right or forward and backward to the movement of the eyepiece image? compare the movement of the slide, left and right or forward and backward to the movement of the eyepiece image?
When a gun fired it exerts a forward force on the bullet why does the gun recoil backwards?
Well, remember that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In an automatic firearm, this will be enhanced by the action, which exerts force against the bolt carrier or slide to cycle it.
When starting to slide down a waterslide why would a person push on the side of the slide?
The person is using the slide to make himself move.
When looking down a microscope what happens when you move the slide to the left?
When you move the slide to the left, you will see the image go right when looking in the eyepiece. This is because everything is backwards in the microscope image.
Do you need friction to walk?
Yes. W/o friction, your foot would just slide backwards as you try to push off for a step.
What causes a crate in the bed of a truck to slide across the bed until it hits the tailgate as the truck accelerates forward?
it does not have enough friction.
Does Air resistance cause a crate in the bed of a truck to slide across the bed until it hits the tailgate as the truck accelerates forward?
not enough friction
What is the name of the device in the trumpet that you move forward and backwards?
It sounds like you are talking about the tuning slide. http://www.zacharymusic.com/Zachary_Music/ZTR900parts01.JPG

How do you breakdown armi tanfoglio gt22?
Safety on pull slide back and lift up slide forward
How do action and reactions forces work when you use roller skates?
Action and reaction forces work while roller staking by the action force being that you and your roller skates move forward. The reaction force is when the roller skates slide backwards on the ground.
