How does inertia affect someone who isn't wearing a seatbelt

1 answer:

7 0

Basically, when someone is resting in an accelerated vehicle without restraint from a seatbelt, the force of stopping the vehicle will be when inertia occurs, and that force of the vehicle coming to a stop will affect the passenger (without a seatbelt/restraint from another force or object) greatly by throwing them.
For example;
If I were to be riding in a vehicle (without a seatbelt) that's accelerating at 40 m/s^2 and it suddenly gets slammed on the breaks, I will be thrown forward from inside the vehicle.

I hope this helps!

What sound signal alerts others that a boat is backing up?

inn [45]

"Three short blasts" sound signal alerts others when a boat is backing up based on the boating safety rule. The short blast is a sound which has one second period, thus three short blasts mean three of this kind of sound. The sound signal is used for alerting anything surrounding the boat to avoid a collision.

Why do scientists not use US customary units when reporting their data?

Marianna [84]

From britaññica it said time and money. They didn’t have either to switch over from the industrial period and never did. Also from my own person reasoning i think most of the world uses not US customary, so to make stuff more accessible. hope this helps!

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m_{1}=5.8 kg$ is the mass of the bowling ball

$V_{1}=4.34 m/s$ is the velocity of the bowling ball

$m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg$ is the mass of the ping-pong ball

$V_{2}$ is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum $p_{1}$ of the bowling ball is:

$p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1}$ (1)

$p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)$

$p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s$ (2)

And the momentum $p_{2}$ of the ping-pong ball is:

$p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$ (4)

$m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (5)

Isolating $V_{2}$ :

$V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}}$ (6)

$V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{2}=11369.46 m/s$

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 280-Hz sound wave. What is the smallest separation distance b

Annette [7]

Answer:

1.21m

Explanation:

If two speakers are generating a frequency of 280Hz, the smallest separation distance between the speakers that will produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them is also known as the wavelength of the sound wave generated.

Using the expression;

Velocity v = frequency f × wavelength ¶

Given frequency = 280Hz, speed of sound v = 338m/s

Substituting this data's in the expression given to get the wavelength will give;

¶ = v/f

¶ = 338/280

¶ = 1.21m

The smallest separation between the speakers that will produce the interference is 1.21m
