How does temperature change affect surface tension

1 answer:

7 0

When the temperature increases, the intermolecular forces between the molecules of a liquid become weaker, and some bonds break easily. Thus as temperature increases, the surface tension of a liquid decreases.

Simora [160]

Answer:

a) 45571 N

b) 22786 N

c) 4557 N

Explanation:

Since the goal of the airbag is helping the person to stop after the collision in a greater time, this means that the change in momentum must finish when this is just zero.
In other words, the change in momentum, must be equal to the initial one, but with opposite sign.

$\Delta p = - p_{o} = -m*v = -55 kg*29m/s = -1595 kgm/s (1)$

Now, just applying the original form of Newton's 2nd Law, we know that this change in momentum must be equal to the impulse needed to stop the person:

$\Delta p = F* \Delta t (2)$

So, as we know the magnitude of Δp from (1) and we have different Δt as givens, we can get the different values of F (in magnitude) required to stop the person for each one of them, as follows:

$F_{1} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{1}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.035s} = 45571 N (3)$
