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})

If you walk a distance of 8 blocks and then 3 blocks south from home, what is your position compared to home? What distance did
Harman [31]

The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.

Displacement = x total - x initial

So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.

Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just

d = x

So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total

When air resistance is ignored, _____ of the projectile affect(s) the range and maximum height of the projectile.
FromTheMoon [43]

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.

Projectile is a missile designed to be fired from a rocket or gun.

A projectile is the object that is propelled by the application of an external force and then moves freely under the influence of gravity and air resistance.

The range is defined as the distance between the launch point and the point where the projectile hits the ground.

The height from the ground at the top most position of projectile is referred to as maximum height.

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.
