Need help answering a question about laws of motion?

Question

Using the laws of motion why would you have a better chance of escaping an elephant if you ran in a zig-zag path rather than a straight line?

Answer 1

yes you would i beileve its neutons acceleration thing where it says something that weighs more has more interita therefore a elepant would have a tough time moving from side to side and would probably not catch you. its because its more diffucult to change its state of motion.

Answer 2

Okay..?? What did you do to piss off the elephant, anyway? They are amazing creatures.. Never hurt anyone unless provoked, right? But.. that said..

Newton tells us that a body in motion tends to remain in motion until acted upon by an external force. The poor old pachyderm can get up a head of stem with this law in mind and the 'external' force of charging in a straight line would tend to increase its speed.

However, on a ziggety zaggety pathway, the poor thing has to change direction all the time and with all that mass, would have to pick up speed again after slowing for a zig and a zag. Unless, of course, you, fool that you are, are running the zig zags and the elephant just charges directly through the brush, wood. forest without worrying about the pathway.

In this case, you're toast! Are you wearing a peanut outfit? In that case, you'd be roast(ed).

Answer 3

This all are assumed till now our science can not able to produce the atom or machine which carry a body more them the speed of light.
Light travels in zig zag so we prove this theory by considering the light only thats why u r confusing.

Answer 4

the law of motion is called Newton's Firs Law or often called inertia. inertia is the tendency of object to resist any changes on it.when a stone is rolling from a hill,it is very hard to stop it because it has very big inertia. inertia is only affected by mass. the higher the mass of an object,the higher the inertia it has.so elephant are big,right?
we shoud run in a zig zag path because it is hard for elephant to change direction when it is running because it has very big inertia.

Answer 5

bcoz if you run zig zag you'll be less tired and can run faster. if you run faster it means more force is applied and accelaration is directly proportional to force. hence you can escape the elphant faster

Answer 6

you attempt to prepare a rule previous this is variety of applicability. The third regulation grew to become into formulated to prepare to MOTIONs of gadgets. It;s the third regulation of action. death costs and delivery costs ought to with the sorts of death attainable and their probabilities and the form of procreating couples that produce healthful little ones, respectively The WHO estimates the death costs and motives; it additionally estimates the delivery costs. those are in accordance with census monitoring, scientific records, and different social documents.

Answer 7

it because the elepahnt wouldn't be able to change directions as fast as you can due to its' huge inertia
