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!

A pulse of light takes 3.00 ns to travel through air from an emitter to a detector. When a piece of transparent material with a

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

(a) $1.75\times10^8\text{ m/s}$

(b) 1.71

Explanation:

(a) The difference in the times of travel in the two case = $3.20 - 3.00 = 0.20\text{ ns} = 2.0\times10^{-9}\text{ s}$

This difference is the time in the transparent material. With a thickness of 35.0 cm, the speed in the material is

$v = \dfrac{35 cm}{2.0\times10^{-9}\text{ s}}=\dfrac{0.35 m}{2.0\times10^{-9}\text{ s}} = 1.75\times10^8\text{ m/s}$

(b) The refractive index of the material is the ratio of the velocity of light in vacuum to its velocity in the material. Using speed of light in vacuum as $c = 3.00\times10^8\text{ m/s}$ , the refractive index, $n$ , is

$n=\dfrac{c}{v} = \dfrac{ 3.00\times10^8\text{ m/s}}{1.75\times10^8\text{ m/s}}= 1.71$

a block suspended from a spring. The spring is stretch 0.5 m. If the spring constant is 500 N/m, what is the weight of the block

ANEK [815]

Answer:250N

Explanation:

Spring constant=500N/m

Extension=0.5m

Weight=spring constant x extension

Weight=500 x 0.5

Weight=250

Weight is 250N

What are 3 examples of elastic collisions?

Andre45 [30]

QUICK ANSWER

The collision between two gas molecules or billiard balls can be approximated as elastic collisions. Elastic collisions are exchanges of kinetic energy between two bodies having different reference frames in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies after collision is equal to the energy before collision.'
