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

Physics
1 answer:
Veseljchak [2.6K]3 years ago
3 0

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 place ammonium nitrate crystals in water and stirred. As you do so, the container becomes cold to the touch. This an example
ankoles [38]

The process of flask becoming cold is due to endothermic reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

So two kinds of heat transfer can be possible in any chemical reaction. If the sample is considered as system and the sample container is considered as the surrounding, then heat transfer can occur between them.

If the heat is transferred from the surrounding to the system , then it is an endothermic reaction. And in those cases, the sample holder will be becoming colder. This is because the heat from the surrounding that is the container will be utilized to complete the reaction.

While when there is transfer of heat from the system to surrounding , it will be exothermic reaction and the beaker will be getting hot in this process. So in the present case, the container is becoming cold because of occurrence of endothermic process.

In a thin film experiment, a wedge of air is used between two glass plates. If the wavelength of the incident light in air is 48
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The thickness is  \Delta y =  2.4 *10^{-6} \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength is  \lambda  = 480 \ nm = 480*10^{-9} \  m

    The first order of the dark  fringe is  m_1 =  16

     The second order of dark fringe considered is  m_2 = 6

Generally the condition for destructive interference is mathematically represented as

        y = \frac{m \lambda}{2}

Here y is the path difference between the central maxima(i.e the origin) and any dark fringe

So  the path difference between the 16th dark fringe and the 6th dark fringe is mathematically represented as

      y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  \frac{m_1 \lambda}{2} -  \frac{m_2 \lambda}{2}

=>  y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  \frac{16 *480*10^{-9}}{2} -  \frac{6 *480*10^{-9}}{2}

=>  y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  5 (480*10^{-9})

=>  \Delta y =  2.4 *10^{-6} \  m

Explain what causes acid rain to form and its negative effects on living and nonliving things.
OLga [1]
What causes it to form: <span>Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain. Human activities, power plants, and exhaust from vehicles all are causes.</span>
Affects on living things-
Acid rain can kill trees
It can affect plant growth patterns
Toxins can kill animals
Nonliving things- 
It can decay building materials and paints
it breaks down rocks

When figure skating how do you quickly transition from backwards to forwards without falling or just going in a circle? I'm fair
olga2289 [7]
I am a competitive figure skater.  There are certain turns you can use such as a mowhawk, where you set one foot down that is facing the opposite direction from which you are gliding.  There is a two foot turn, where you either go on or toes and turn backwards, or lean somewhat on your heals and turn forwards.  Use your hips to help turn.  And a 3 turn, which is basically a 2 foot turn on 1 foot.  But remember, it takes practice, and you may fall a couple times.
