A man claims that he can hold onto a 15.0-kg child in a head-on collision as long as he has his seat belt on. Consider this man

in a collision in which he is in one of two identical cars each traveling toward the other at 62.0 mi/h relative to the ground. The car in which he rides is brought to rest in 0.08 s. (a) Find the magnitude of the average force needed to hold onto the child.

Answer:

F= 5195.625 N

Explanation:

To obtain the force needed to hold the child, we need to know the aceleration in which the car is breaking.

Aceleration is equal to velocity divided by the time of breaking

In international system, velocity [m/s] is

v= (62 mi/h)*(1609 m/mi)*(1 h/3600 s)

v= 27.71 m/s

Now, we part the velocity by the time that is 0.08 seconds

a= v/t= (27.71 m/s)/(0.08 s)

a= 346.375 m/s^{2}

The force in agreement with the Newton's second law is

F=m*a = 15 Kg*346.375 m/s^{2}

F= 5195.625 N

(Note: 1 N = 1 Kg*m/s^{2})

How much power does it take to lift a 30.0 n box 10.0 m high in 5.00 s, if you must apply a 62n force to lift the box?
Illusion [34]
Power is defined as the rate at which the body is doing work:
P=\frac{W}{t}
Work is defined as displacement done by the force times that displacement:
W=F\cdot h
We know that we need 62N to move the box, so when we apply this force along the path of 10m we have done:
W=62N\cdot10m=620J
of work.
Now we just divide that by 5s to get how much power is required:
P=\frac{620J}{5s}=124W

Describe how a radiation is similar to b- radiation​
Lina20 [59]

Complete question is;

Describe how α-radiation is similar to β-radiation?

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

The similarity between both alpha radiation and beta radiation is that in both cases, they both show deflection when they go through electric and magnetic fields. Although alpha deflects towards the negative plate while bets deflects towards the positive plate.

Secondly they both have high speeds. Just that alpha is from the helium nucleus while beta is from electrons.
