Answer: -2695 N

Explanation:

first of all, we need to calculate the acceleration experienced by the car and the passenger. This acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v=0 is the final velocity of the car, after the impact

u=10 m/s is the initial velocity

t=0.26 s is the duration of the collision

Substituting numbers into the formula,

a=\frac{0-10 m/s}{0.26 s}=-38.5 m/s^2


The force exerted on the passenger is given by the product between the mass of the passenger (70 kg) and the acceleration:

F=ma=(70 kg)(-38.5 m/s^2)=-2,695 N

where the negative sign means that the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the passenger+car.

A=(Vo-V)/t=(10-0)/0.26=10/0.26=38.46m/s2
F=ma=70*38.46=2692.3N

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.  

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.

Give 1 real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is c
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

On real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is constant is when making a serve with a lawn tennis racket

How It is an example of impulse is that when a serve is made by moving the bat slowly, the lawn tennis player uses less force and the ball is in contact with the string for longer a period

When however, the lawn tennis player moves the racket faster, with the strings of the racket highly tensioned  he uses more force and the ball also spends less time on the racket to produce the same momentum

Explanation:

The impulse of a force, ΔP is given by the following formula;

ΔP = F × Δt

Where ΔP is constant, we have;

F ∝ 1/Δt

Therefore, for the same impulse, when the force is increased, the time of contact is decreases and vice versa.

Technician A says the counter gear is actually several gears machined out of a single piece of steel. Technician B says the coun
dexar [7]

Answer:

Option c. (Both Technician A and B are correct)

Explanation:

A transmission system consists of 3 shafts. The input shaft, the counter shaft, and the main shaft. The clutch gear always rotates with input shaft and is a crucial element of the input shaft.

The counter shaft is actually several gears machined out of a single piece of steel. The counter shaft may also be called counter gear or cluster gear.  It is a secondary shaft that runs parallel to the mainshaft in a gearbox and is used to provide powers to machine components such as the drive axle.

The main gears (also called the speed gears) on main shaft (also known as the output shaft) are used to transfer rotation from counter shaft to the output shaft.

Hence in the light of above description, both technician A and B are correct.
