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

Physics

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.

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?
zubka84 [21]
Well if you didn't you could make mistakes, which would lead ,in the best case, at a fail of the circuit , or if it goes out of control it could be dangerous

for example you have to know that the wires become hot and they loose their abbilitys as connecters(the hotter it will, the more energy you lose becouse the R will be bigger)

When a cube is inscribed in a sphere of radius r, the length Lof a side of the cube is . If a positive point charge Qis placed a
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

  Ф_cube /Ф_sphere = 3 /π

Explanation:

The electrical flow is

      Ф = E A

where E is the electric field and A is the surface area

Let's shut down the electric field with Gauss's law

       Фi = ∫ E .dA = q_{int} / ε₀

the Gaussian surface is a sphere so its area is

        A = 4 π r²

the charge inside is

        q_{int} = Q

we substitute

       E 4π r² = Q /ε₀

       E = 1 / 4πε₀   Q / r²

To calculate the flow on the two surfaces

* Sphere

       Ф = E A

        Ф = 1 / 4πε₀  Q / r² (4π r²)

        Ф_sphere = Q /ε₀

* Cube

Let's find the side value of the cube inscribed inside the sphere.

In this case the radius of the sphere is half the diagonal of the cube

          r = d / 2

We look for the diagonal with the Pythagorean theorem

         d² = L² + L² = 2 L²

         d = √2 L

         

we substitute

          r = √2 / 2 L

          r = L / √2

          L = √2  r

now we can calculate the area of ​​the cube that has 6 faces

          A = 6 L²

          A = 6 (√2  r)²

          A = 12 r²

the flow is

          Ф = E A

          Ф = 1 / 4πε₀  Q/r²  (12r²)

          Ф_cubo = 3 /πε₀  Q

the relationship of these two flows is

         Ф_cube /Ф_sphere = 3 /π
