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})

An asteroid has acquired a net negative charge of 149 C from being bombarded by the solar wind over the years, and is currently
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

93.125 × 10^(19)

Explanation:

We are told the asteroid has acquired a net negative charge of 149 C.

Thus;

Q = -149 C

charge on electron has a value of:

e = -1.6 × 10^(-19) C

Now, for us to determine the excess electrons on the asteroid, we will just divide the net charge in excess on the asteroid by the charge of a single electron.

Thus;

n = Q/e

n = -149/(-1.6 × 10^(-19))

n = 93.125 × 10^(19)

Thus, it has 93.125 × 10^(19) more electrons than protons
