explain how a large force is exerted on a passenger in a vehicle in the event of a car crash and how this can be reduced.

1 answer:

5 0

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!

The magnetic field at 8 cm distance from a long straight wire, carrying is 0.2x10^-5 T. How much is the electric current in the

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

Explanation:

We solve this problem by applying the formula of the magnetic field generated at a distance by a long and straight conductor wire that carries electric current, as follows:

$B=\frac{2\pi*a }{u*I}$

B= Magnetic field due to a straight and long wire that carries current

u= Free space permeability

I= Electrical current passing through the wire

a = Perpendicular distance from the wire to the point where the magnetic field is located

Magnetic Field Calculation

We cleared (I) of the formula (1):

$I=\frac{2\pi*a*B }{u}$ Formula(2)

$B=0.2*10^{-5} T = 0.2*10^{-5} \frac{weber}{m^{2} }$

a =8cm=0.08m

$u=4*\pi *10^{-7} \frac{Weber}{A*m}$

We replace the known information in the formula (2)

$I=\frac{2\pi*0.08*0.2*10^{-5} }{4\pi *10x^{-7} }$

I=0.8 A

Answer: The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

A car travels along the motorway at a steady 70 m.p.h. How far will it travel in half an hour?

Sergeu [11.5K]

If a car is travelling 70 m.p.h that means it is travelling 70 miles PER HOUR and since we want to know half an hour we can do

70mph divided by 2 =35m.p half hour so the car is travelling 35miles in half an hour

A node is a point on a standing wave that has no displacement from the rest position. At the nodes, _____.

Kitty [74]

Answer: (B) There is complete destructive interference between the incoming and reflected waves

Explanation:

For example, if you pluck a guitar the waves will travel back and forth. They consist of nodes and anti-nodes. It is created, when the wave traveling to one side and bounces of the other end and comes back. As it travels to the other side, it is reflected thus, comes back. So standing waves occurs when there is interference.

When the wave is produced, the points where the string is not moving are called nodes and where they are moving are called anti-nodes. The positions where nodes are produced, destructive interference occurs and where anti-nodes are produced, constructive interference occurs
