AI Thread Summary
Forces acting on passengers in the back seat of a car are generally similar to those on front seat passengers. However, differences arise due to factors like the rocking motion of the vehicle and the varying radius of movement during turns. Inner passengers experience a smaller circular path compared to those seated closer to the outer edge. The placement of the wheels also contributes to these minor variations in force. Overall, while the forces are comparable, specific dynamics can lead to slight differences in experience.

are the forces acting on the passenger seating in the back seat of the car different from the forces acting on the passenger that seats right in front of him and how to measure them, for example in cases when the car is turning or when the car is moving straight?

The forces are pretty much the same. The differences come from rocking of the car, from the fact that the inner passengers move in a smaller circle than the outer ones in a corner, placement of the wheels and a few of such things but that is nitpicking.
 
Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (First part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8 and stuck at some statements. It's little bit confused. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. Solution : The surface bound charge on the ##xy## plane is of opposite sign to ##q##, so the force will be...
