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!

Find the sum of the vectors:11 km N ,11km E

vladimir1956 [14]

The resultant vector is 11√2 km due north east.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The vector is a type of quantity which has both magnitude and direction. This quantities when expressed needs to specify both magnitude and direction.

We need to calculate the magnitude and direction separately.

Here firstly for the magnitude,

The magnitudes are both 11 km and they are at right angles to each other.

So, the resultant magnitude = √(11² +11²) km

=11√2 km

Now for the direction, one vector is due north and the other is due east.

So the resultant vector is due north east.

So the final vector is 11√2 km due North-East.

Two long straight wires are parallel and 8.6 cm apart. They are to carry equal currents such that the magnetic field at a point

Neko [114]

Answer:

(a) The current should be in opposite direction

(b) The current needed is 39.8 A

Explanation:

Part (a)

Based, on right hand rule, the current should be in opposite direction

Part (b)

given;

strength of magnetic field, B = 370 µT

distance between the two parallel wires, d = 8.6 cm

$B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}$

At the center, the magnetic field strength is twice

$B_c = 2(\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}) =\frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}$

R = d/2 = 8.6/2 = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m

$B_c = \frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}\\\\I = \frac{B_c\pi R}{\mu_o} = \frac{370 *10^{-6}* \pi *0.043}{4\pi *10^{-7}}\\\\I = 39.8 \ A$

Therefore, current needed is 39.8 A

What is the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 hz?

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

T = 0.003 s

(Period is written as T)

Explanation:

Period = time it takes for one wave to pass (measured in seconds)

frequency = number of cycles that occur in 1 second

(measured in Hz / hertz / 1 second)

Period : T

frequency : f

So, if we know that the frequency of a wave is 300 Hz, we can find the period of the wave from the relation between frequency and period

T = $\frac{1}{f}$ f = $\frac{1}{T}$

to find the period (T) of this wave, we need to plug in the frequency (f) of 300

T = $\frac{1}{300}$

T = 0.00333333333

So, the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 Hz is 0.003 s

[the period/T of this wave is 0.003 s]
