Why does a collision with an airbag cause less damage than a collision with a steering wheel

1 answer:

4 0

When a person collides with an inflated air bag, the impact forces the molecules of gas in the bag closer together. The compression of the gas absorbs the energy of the impact.

If 27 J of work are needed to stretch a spring from 15 cm to 21 cm and 45 J are needed to stretch it from 21 cm to 27 cm, what i

kupik [55]

Answer:

9 cm.

Explanation:

The energy used for stretch the spring from $15 cm$ to $21 cm$ will be , $E_{1}=27J$

The energy used for stretch the spring from $21 cm$ to $27 cm$ will be , $E_{2}=45J$

using the energy of spring formula ,we find that

$27 = \frac{1}{2}K((21-L^{2})-(15-L^{2}))$

$45 = \frac{1}{2}K((27-L^{2})-(21-L^{2}))$

Dividing both the equation will get,

$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{(21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2}}{(27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2}}\\5((21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2})=3((27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2})\\3(729 - 54L + L^{2}- 441 + 42L - L^{2} ) = 5(441 - 42L + L^{2} - 225 + 30L - L^{2} )\\3(288 - 12L) = 5(216 - 12L)\\24L = 216\\L = 9 cm$

Therefore, the natural length of the spring is, 9 cm.

Q3. You throw a ball into the air, it reaches a certain height and then comes back to you.

Grace [21]

The If a car is going round a curve , there is an acceleration because the direction of the velocity changes.

<h3>What is the direction of the velocity?</h3>

Now we know that if you throw the ball upwards, the motion is in opposite direction to gravity thus the ball is experiencing deceleration and the speed decreases. The velocity decreases and the acceleration is negative.

If the ball is coming down, then the ball is accelerated thus it speeds up and the direction of the acceleration is positive.

If a car is going round a curve, the vehicle is accelerating because the direction of the velocity changes even if its amount remains constant.

When a board is moving down a hill at 2 ms-1, it is experiencing an acceleration because the motion is in the same direction as gravity.

If a car is coming to a stop at a point, it experiences a deceleration and not an acceleration since the change of velocity with time is negative as the car comes to rest.
