The van accelerates at 2.2m/s^2. The force causing the acceleration is 5.5 kN. Calculate the mass of the van

1 answer:

8 0

The mass of the van will be 2.5 kg, Mass is found as the ratio of the force and the acceleration.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pull applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

F=ma

5.5 kN = m × 2.2m/s²

m= 2.5 kg

Hence,the mass of the van will be 2.5 kg,

How does an airbag help protect a passenger in a car accident?

Novosadov [1.4K]

Good question. It like a fail safe,if you hit a car tail gate going slightly fast it come out to protect you from hitting your on the the wheel or the mirror. See if you don't have a seat belt or it just don't fully stop you the airbag might help.Like concussions. I Hope This Help you :)

M (b) Calculate the speed of an electron that is accelerated through the same electric potential difference.

MaRussiya [10]

The speed of a electron that is accelerated from rest through an electric potential difference of 120 V is $6.49\times10^6m/s$

<h3>How to calculate the speed of the electron?</h3>

We know, that the energy of the system is always conserved.

Using the Law of Conservation of energy,

$\triangle K+\triangle$ U=0

Here, K is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy.

Now, substituting the formula of U and K, we get:

$(\frac{1}{2} mv^2)+(-q\triangle V)$ =0------(1)

Here,

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

q is the charge on the electron

V is the potential difference

Let $v_f$ and $v_i$ represent the final and initial speed.

Here, $v_i$ =0

Solving for $v_f$ , we get:

$v_f=\sqrt{\frac{-2q\triangle V}{m} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times1.602\times10^{-19}\times 120}{9.109\times10^{-31}} }$

=6.49 $\times10^6$ m/s

Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of

Harman [31]

Answer:

4 smaller disks

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of smaller and larger disks = M

Radius of smaller disk = R

Radius of larger disk = 4R

Formula for moment of inertia about cylinder axis is:

I = ½MR²

Thus;

For small disk, I_small = ½MR²

For large disk, I_large = ½M(2R)² = 2MR²

We are told that moment of inertia of System A consists of two of the larger disks. Thus;

I_A = 2 × I_large = 2 × 2MR²

I_A = 4MR²

We are also told that System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks. Thus;

I_B = I_large + n(I_small)

Where n is the number of smaller disks.

I_B = 2MR² + n(½MR²)

I_B = MR²(2 + n/2)

We are told that the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B. Thus;

I_A = I_B

So;

4MR² = MR²(2 + n/2)

MR² will cancel out to give;

4 = 2 + n/2

Multiply through by 2 to give;

8 = 4 + n

n = 8 - 4

n = 4
