Hi there!
We can begin by converting cm to m:
4cm = 0.04 m
Use the following equation:
vf² = vi² + 2ad
The final velocity is 0 m/s, so:
0 = vi² + 2ad
vi² = -2(a)d
Plug in given values to solve for the acceleration:
800²/2(0.04) = -a
a = -8,000,000 m/s²
Find the force using the equation:
F = ma
F = (0.02)(-8,000,000) = -160,000 N
During a car crash, the car decelerates extremely rapidly, so inertia causes you to move forward quickly. If there wasn't an airbag to slow you down, you might fly out the windshield.
The air bag increases impulse by increasing the time during which a force acts on you (impulse=force*time). This decreases your forward momentum, so you'll have a better chance of surviving.
With that information you can only suppose a uniformly accelerated motion. This is, acceleration is constant.
Then, acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = (58 -54)km/h / 2 h = 4km/h / 2 h = 2 km/h^2
Then the equation for velocity, V is
V = Vo + a*t = Vo + 2 (km/h^2) * t = Vo + 2t
Vo is the initial velocity, which you can find using V = 54km/h and t = -2
Vo = V after 2 hours - a*(2hours) = 54km/h - 2(km/h^2)*2h = 54km/k - 4km/h = 50km/h
Then, the equation is: V = 50 km/h + 2t
Valid for constant acceleration.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Actually, the converse is true. The mass number would be lower than the sum of the mass of the individual nucleons combined. According to Einstein’s equation of E=MC², this will be due to a phenomenon called mass defect. This ‘anomaly’ is due to the loss of some energy (now the nuclear binding energy) when the nucleons were brought in together to form the nucleus.
