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})

What conditions would have to exist in order for a space station to support life
amid [387]

Answer:

Mechanical life support system

Explanation:

Mechanical life support system is one which allows humans to survive on places or conditions which are not natural to their survival so by the help of mechanical devices humans can survive in places like underwater or in space.

The life support system may not only provide water, air and food but it should also keep a proper check on the maintenance of body pressure, temperature, management of the waste product and the absorption or the radiations from the body itself.

Thus mechanical life support system are designed with the hep of high engineering techniques for the safety and security as these are life-critical.

Does the efficiency of a motor depend on mass?
Valentin [98]

Practically yes

  • Efficiency=Output/input

So

If mass is more output may come less so it affects the efficiency practically

But thepritically it doesn't

A person is riding on a Ferris wheel. When the wheel makes one complete turn, the net work done on the person by the gravitation
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

d = Vertical height from the ground

F = Force = Weight = mg

Net work done would be

W_n=W_{up}+W_{down}\\\Rightarrow W_n=Fdcos180+Fdcos0\\\Rightarrow W_n=-mgd+mgd\\\Rightarrow W_n=0

Hence, the work done on the person by the gravitational force is 0
