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

Physics

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.

If a marathon runner averages 9.51 mi/hr, how long does it take him to run a 26.220-mile marathon. Express your answers in hours
ASHA 777 [7]

Explanation:

Speed of the marathon runner, v = 9.51 mi/hr

Distance covered by the runner, d = 26.220 mile

Let t is the time taken by the marathon runner. We know that the speed of the runner is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Mathematically, it is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{26.220\ mi}{9.51\ mi/hr}

t = 2.75 hours

Since, 1 hour = 60 minutes

t = 165 minutes

Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds

t = 9900 seconds

Hence, this is the required solution.

What Kinetic energy is exactly equal to Gravitational Potential Energy why is height halfway between the maximum height?
prohojiy [21]

Explanation:

Let us calculate the work done in lifting an object of mass m through a height h, such as in Figure 1. If the object is lifted straight up at constant speed, then the force needed to lift it is equal to its weight mg. The work done on the mass is then W = Fd = mgh. We define this to be the gravitational potential energy (PEg) put into (or gained by) the object-Earth system. This energy is associated with the state of separation between two objects that attract each other by the gravitational force

Potential energy is a property of a system rather than of a single object—due to its physical position. An object’s gravitational potential is due to its position relative to the surroundings within the Earth-object system. The force applied to the object is an external force, from outside the system. When it does positive work it increases the gravitational potential energy of the system. Because gravitational potential energy depends on relative position, we need a reference level at which to set the potential energy equal to 0. We usually choose this point to be Earth’s surface, but this point is arbitrary; what is important is the difference in gravitational potential energy, because this difference is what relates to the work done. The difference in gravitational potential energy of an object (in the Earth-object system) between two rungs of a ladder will be the same for the first two rungs as for the last two rungs.
