Would a person traveling at a constant 500 miles an hour feel a greater amount of force than a person traveling at a constant 50 miles an hour? Why or why not?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans is no, the person with greater constant velocity does not feel greater amount of force rather they both feel zero force.

See below

Now if we take both of them have equal mass for our convenience and you want to know who will get tired quickly,then it is who travels with greater velocity.As he spend more kinetic energy (=1/2 mv^2).

Note here I have written F=ma as Newton's 2nd law. Actually it is F=dp/dt . But for constant mass you can write F=ma
