The bus a. remains at rest, b. moves at constant velocity, c. speeds up or d. slows down. Dont worry about other circumstances such as a person knocking your cup over. (More than one choice may be correct.) Explain your answers.arrow_forwardA black widow spider hangs motionless from a web that extends vertically from the ceiling above. If the spider has a mass of 1.5 g, what is the tension in the web?arrow_forwardForensic Science Forensic science is the application of scientific techniques and methodology to discover the cause of a particular event such as an accident. Modern forensics have been used to solve historic crimes and mysteries such as the cause of death of King Tutankhamen of ancient Egypt and composer Ludwig van Beethoven in 1827. Forensic evidence is often admitted into a court case. For example, skid marks at an accident scene are used to find the initial speed of a car. Explain why skid marks are left by the car and how they may be used to find the cars initial speed.arrow_forward
