Problem 13DQ
Does Newton’s second law hold true for an observer in a van as it speeds up, slows down, or rounds a corner? Explain.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Solution 13DQ Step 1: When the van is speeding up, there will be a change in speed, which will result in a change in velocity. This will result a change in momentum of the observer who is sitting inside the van. So, he will experience a force. Step 2: Similarly, if the van slows down, there will be a change in speed. This will result a change in momentum of the observer. So, a force will be experienced on him.
