In a crash or collision, why is it advantageous for an occupant to extend the time during which the collision is taking place?

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

During a car collision momentum of vehicle ceases within a fraction of seconds so Force due to the impulse is huge.

Impulse is defined as the product of average force and time. If we can increase the period of collision for the same impulse then the average force imparted will be less.

If we can increase the time period then damage due to collision will be less.

You throw a 5.5 g coin straight down at 4.0 m/s from a 25-m-high bridge.
yuradex [85]

<u><em>Answer</em></u>

A) 1,347.5 Joules

B) 22.49 m/s


<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

<u>Part A</u>

The work done by the gravity is known as potential energy.

It is given by;

P.E = mgh

Where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the vertical height.

P.E = 5.5 × 9.8 ×25

= 1,347.5 Joules.

<u>Part B</u>

Using the Newton's third Law of motion,

V² = U² +2as

Where v is final velocity, u is the initial velocity, and s is the displacement of the stone.

V² = 4² + (2×9.8×25)

= 16 + 490

= 506

V = √506

= 22.49 m/s

A star is estimated to be 4.8 km away from the earth. When we see this star in the night sky how old is the image. Let the speed
andre [41]

Time = distance / speed

Time = (4,800 meters) / (3 x 10⁸ m/s)

<em>Time = 0.000016 second</em>

This number is not one of the choices on the list.  My hunch is that you copied the distance wrong.

If the estimated distance to the star is actually 4.8 x 10¹⁵ km, instead of 4.8 km, then the answer would be close to 500 years <em>(B)</em>.

There's no way a star can be "4.8 km away from the Earth".  You can <em>walk</em> that far in about an hour, and passenger jet airplanes fly <em>twice</em> as far as that away from the Earth !

Consider the direction field of the differential equation dy/dx = x(y − 6)2 − 4, but do not use technology to obtain it. Describ
Alona [7]

Answer:

The slopes shows that the direction of the field is from -2 to +2, with three point charges, q₁, q₂ and q₃ at -2, 0 and +2 respectively.

Explanation:

Given;

The slope, dy/dx = 2x(y-6) - 4

2x(y-6) - 4 = 2xy - 12x - 4, divide through by 'x'

dy/dx = 2y -12 - 4/x

The slopes of the linear elements on the lines, x =0, y = 5, y = 6, y = 7.

At x = 0, and y = 5

dy/dx = 2y -12 - 4/x

dy/dx = 2(5) - 12 = -2

At x = 0, and y = 6

dy/dx = 2y -12 - 4/x

dy/dx = 2(6) - 12 = 0

At x = 0, and y = 7

= 2y -12 - 4/x

dy/dx = 2(7) - 12 = 2

Therefore, the slopes shows that the direction of the field is from -2 to +2, with three point charges, q₁, q₂ and q₃ at -2, 0 and +2 respectively.
