Highway safety engineers build soft barriers so that cars hitting them will slow down at a safe rate. a person wearing a safety

belt can withstand an acceleration of 300 m/s 2 . how thick should barriers be to safely stop a car that hits the barriers at 92.8 km/h? answer in units of m.

Basically, we want to see the distance in terms of thickness. So, for this rectilinear motion at constant acceleration, the equation to be used is:

x = v₀t + 0.5at²

First, let's determine t using the equation:
a = |v - v₀|/t
300 m/s² = |0 - 92.8 km/h * 1,000 m/1 km * 1 h/3600 s|/t
t = 0.086 seconds

x = (92.8 km/h * 1,000 m/1 km * 1 h/3600 s)(0.086 s) + 0.5(300 m/s²)(0.086 s)²
x = 3.33 meters

Satuarated solution changes into unsatuarated by heating give reason​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Due to application of heat on a saturated solution, the interparticle space increases due to increase in the kinetic energy of the particles which allows more solutes to dissolve in the solution thereby making it unsaturated.

When a person floating in swimming pool, they experience an upthrust. what causes this effect?​
velikii [3]
When your head sticks out of the water the upthrust reduces as your head is no longer displacing water, and there is 0 resultant force so you float at that level. hope this helps, can i get brainliest please

Two separate masses on two separate springs undergo simple harmonic motion indefinitely (the surface is frictionless). In CASE 1
Artemon [7]

Answer:

\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

Assuming the we have to find ratio maximum forces on the mass in each case

we know that in a spring mass system

F= Kx

K= spring constant

x= spring displacement

Case 1:

F_1=2k\times d

case 2:

F_2=2k\times 2d

therefore, \frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{2K\times d}{2K\times 2d}

\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.62607015×10−34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m2⋅s−1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ΔνCs.
