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.

On a straight road (taken to be in the x direction) you drive for an hour at 60 km per hour, then quickly speed up to 120 km per
Luda [366]

Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\  - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\  - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\  - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr

yan [13]

Answer:

The correct option is D

D) Gestalt

Explanation:

In the earlier 20th century, a group of German scientists named Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Köhler and Kurt Koffka, noticed that people tend to organzie a cluster of information into a Gestalt.

Gestalt is a German word which means the way things are placed or put together as a whole. In the field of phychology, it can be defined as a pattern or configuration. In this context, it included the human mind and its behavior as a whole.

The Gestalt theory states that:

"The whole of anything is greater than its parts and that attributes of the whole can't be deduced by analyzing any of the parts on their own accord"

A spool whose inner core has a radius of 1.00 cm and whose end caps have a radius of 1.50 cm has a string tightly wound around t
White raven [17]

Answer:

v₁ = 37.5 cm / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use that angular and linear velocity are related

        v = w r

in the case of the spool the angular velocity for the whole system is constant,

They indicate the linear velocity v₀ = 25.0 cm / s for a radius of r₀ = 1.00 cm,

         w = v₀ /r₀

for the outside of the spool r₁ = 1.5 cm

         w = v₁ / r₁1

since the angular velocity is the same we set the two expressions equal

        \frac{v_o}{r_o} = \frac{v_1}{r_1}

        v1 = \frac{r_1}{r_o} \ \ v_o

let's calculate

       v₁ = \frac{1.50}{1.00} \ \ 25.0

       v₁ = 37.5 cm / s

You drag a crate across a floor with a rope. The force applied is 750 N and the angle of the rope is 25.0° above the horizontalH
frez [133]

a.

The work done by a constant force along a rectilinear motion when the force and the displacement vector are not colinear is given by:

W=F\cos\theta\cdot d

where F is the magnitude of the force, theta is the angle between them and d is the distance.

The problen gives the following data:

The magnitude of the force 750 N.

The angle between the force and the displacement which is 25°

The distance, 26 m.

Plugging this in the formula we have:

\begin{gathered} W=\left(750\right)\left(\cos25\right)\left(26\right) \\ W=17673 \end{gathered}

Therefore the work done is 17673 J.

b)

The power is given by:

P=\frac{W}{t}

the problem states that the time it takes is 6 s. Then:

\begin{gathered} P=\frac{17673}{6} \\ P=2945.5 \end{gathered}

Therefore the power is 2945.5 W
