Answer:

Inertia is the reason that people in cars need to wear seat belts. Instead, the riders continue moving forward with most of their original speed because of their inertia. If the driver is wearing a seat belt, the seat belt rather than the windshield applies the unbalanced force that stops the driver's forward motion.

Answer:

Explanation:

The driver was able to stay in the car because he or she had a seat belt on, the passenger did not have a seat belt on, therefore they were not able to stay in the car. Newton’s first law states “An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by another force”. Therefore the passenger was yoinked out of the car.

Answer:

\vec{F}=(1.537*10^{-17}\hat{i}-9.61*10^{-19}\hat{j}-2.883*10^{-18}\hat{k})N

Explanation:

The total force on the particle is given by

\vec{F}=q\vec{v}\ X\ \vec{B}+q\vec{E}

Then, by replacing we have:

q\vec{v}\ X \vec{B}=q[7\hat{k}-9\hat{j}-\hat{k}]\\\\q\vec{E}=q[5\hat{i}-\hat{j}-2\hat{k}]\\\\\vec{F}=(9.61*10^{-19}C)[(7+9)\hat{i}+(-9-1)\hat{j}+(-1-2)\hat{k}]\\\\\vec{F}=(1.537*10^{-17}\hat{i}-9.61*10^{-19}\hat{j}-2.883*10^{-18}\hat{k})N

where the cross product can be made with the determinant method.

Hope this helps!!

The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time
vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.02 s

Explanation:

Take the (+x) direction to be up.  

The average velocity v during a time interval Δt is the displacement Δx divided by Δt.  

v=Δx/Δt

 =x_f-x_i/t_f-t_i                 (1)

We assume that your height is 1.6m  

Solving [1]

Δt=Δx/v

  = 0.02 s

Plz help this is so confusing
Nata [24]

Answer:

5 Km/h

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance travelled = 10 Km

Time = 2 hours

Speed =?

Speed is simply defined as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it can be represented as:

Speed = distance travelled /time.

With the above formula, we can obtain the speed at which the duck is travelling as follow:

Distance travelled = 10 Km

Time = 2 hours

Speed =?

Speed = distance travelled /time.

Speed = 10 / 2

Speed = 5 Km/h

Thus, the duck is travelling at a speed of 5 Km/h

A bicycle racer rides from a starting marker to a turnaround marker at 10 m/s. She then rides back along the same route from the
vitfil [10]

Answer:

12.31 m/s

Explanation:

If we recall from the previous knowledge we had about speed,

we will know that:

speed = distance/ time.

As such:

The average speed of the rider bicycle is

average speed = total distance/ total time

Mathematically, it can be computed as:

v_{avg} = \dfrac{d+d}{\dfrac{d}{v_1}+ \dfrac{d}{v_2}}

v_{avg} = \dfrac{2d}{\dfrac{d}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{d}{16 \ m/s}}

v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{1}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{1}{16 \ m/s}}

v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{13}{80 \ m/s}}

\mathbf{v_{avg} =12.31 \ m/s}
