Using idea of conservation of impulse-momentum theorem, the instantaneous velocity times mass is equal to force times the change in time.

mv = Ft

To reduce the force, decrease the velocity and mass. You can also extend the time of the collision. This is why cars collapse on impact. They were design that way to reduce the force on the car and the passenger.

Hopes this helps!

What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field atradiaConsider a coaxial conducting cable consisting of a conductingr
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

 E = 9.4 10⁶ N / C ,     The field goes from the inner cylinder to the outside

Explanation:

The best way to work this problem is with Gauss's law

             Ф = E. dA = qint / ε₀

 

We must define a Gaussian surface, which takes advantage of the symmetry of the problem. We select a cylinder with the faces perpendicular to the coaxial.

The flow on the faces is zero, since the field goes in the radial direction of the cylinders.

The area of ​​the cylinder is the length of the circle along the length of the cable

         dA = 2π dr L

          A = 2π r L

They indicate that the distance at which we must calculate the field is

         r = 5 R₁

         r = 5 1.3

         r = 6.5 mm

The radius of the outer shell is

         r₂ = 10 R₁

         r₂ = 10 1.3

         r₂ = 13 mm

         r₂ > r

When comparing these two values ​​we see that the field must be calculated between the two housings.

Gauss's law states that the charge is on the outside of the Gaussian surface does not contribute to the field, the charged on the inside of the surface is

         λ = q / L

         Qint = λ L

Let's replace

      E 2π r L = λ L /ε₀

       E = 1 / 2piε₀  λ / r

Let's calculate

         E = 1 / 2pi 8.85 10⁻¹²  3.4 10-12 / 6.5 10-3

         E = 9.4 10⁶ N / C

The field goes from the inner cylinder to the outside

You step on the gas pedal in your car, and the car engine’s rotational speed changes from 1200 rpm to 3000 rpm in 3.0 s. What is
Gnom [1K]

frequency of engine is given here

initial frequency = 1200 rpm

f_i = 1200/60 = 20 Hz

final frequency = 3000 rpm

f_f = 3000/60 = 50 Hz

now we have angular speed as

\omega_i = 2\pi f_i

\omega_i = 2\pi(20) = 40\pi

similarly

\omega_f = 2\pi f_f

\omega_f = 2\pi(50) = 100 \pi

now by the formula of angular acceleration we will have

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}

\alpha = \frac{100\pi - 40\pi}{3}

\alpha = 20\pi rad/s^2

\alpha = 62.8 rad/s^2
