You and your brother argue often about how to safely secure a toddler in a moving car. You insist that special toddler seats are

critical in improving the chances of a toddler surviving a crash. Your brother claims that, as long as his wife is buckled in next to him with a seat belt while he drives, she can hold onto their toddler on her lap in a crash. You decide to perform a calculation to try to convince your brother. Consider a hypothetical collision in which the 13 kg toddler and his parents are riding in a car traveling at 37 mi/h relative to the ground. The car strikes a wall, tree, or another car, and is brought to rest in 0.14 as. You wish to demonstrate to your brother the magnitude of the force necessary for his wife to hold onto their child during the collision. What is the magnitude of this force (in N)

Answer:

Force F = 1535.86 N

the force necessary for his wife to hold onto their child during the collision is 1535.86 N

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of toddler m = 13 kg

Velocity v = 37 mi/h = 37 × 0.44704 m/s = 16.54 m/s

Impulse time t = 0.14 seconds

Using the impulse momentum equation,

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = m(∆v)

Force F = m(∆v)/t

∆v = 16.54 m/s

F = 13×16.54/0.14

Force F = 1535.86 N

A nonconducting sphere has radius R = 1.81 cm and uniformly distributed charge q = +2.08 fC. Take the electric potential at the
Sloan [31]

Answer:

a) V = -0.227 mV

b) V = -0.5169 mV

Explanation:

a)

Inside a sphere with a uniformly distributed charge density, electric field is radial and has a magnitude

E = (qr) / (4πε₀R³)

As we know that

V = -\int\limits^r_0 {E} \, dr

By solving above equation, we get

V = (-qr²) / (8πε₀R³)

When

R = 1.81 cm

r = 1.2 cm

q = +2.80 fC

ε₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹²

V = (-2.80 × 10⁻¹⁵ × (1.2 × 10⁻²)²) / (8 × 3.14 × 8.85 × 10⁻¹² × (1.81 × 10⁻²)³)

V = -2.27 × 10⁻⁴ V

V = -0.227 mV

b)

When

r = R

R = 1.81 cm

q = +2.80 fC

ε₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹²

V = (-qR²) / (8πε₀R³)

V = (-q) / (8πε₀R)

V = (-2.80 × 10⁻¹⁵) / (8 × 3.14 × 8.85 × 10⁻¹² × (1.81 × 10⁻²))

V = -5.169 × 10⁻⁴ V

V = -0.5169 mV

What happens to the brightness of bulb a when the switch is closed and bulb b lights up?
eimsori [14]
The problem describes the relationship of "bulb a" and "bulb b" to be in connected in series. When the switch is open then no current can flow, on the other hand, when it is closed, current will pass through.

When only "bulb a" is connected to the battery then more current is flowing to "bulb a" causing it to be bright.

Closing the switch would mean that "bulb b" is already included in the circuit and the battery will push small current to flow around the whole circuit. The more bulbs are connected, the harder for the current to flow because the resistance will be very high.

So the light of "bulb a" will be dimmer.

A 30 N rightward force is exerted on a 7 kg object. There is a 3 N force of friction acting on the object. What is the Weight of
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

W = 68.6 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on a right side = 30 N

Mass of the object, m = 7 kg

The force of friction acting on the car = 3 N

We need to find the weight of the object.

The weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

Substitute all the values,

W = 7 × 9.8

W = 68.6 N

So, the weight of the object is 68.6 N.
