When the car carrying the unbelted driver crashes, what brings the driver to a stop

1 answer:

4 0

When the driver is not wearing a seat belt and the car hits a brick wall,
the driver keeps going and doesn't stop, (because of the inertia of the
driver's body).

-- If the driver is lucky, the car is going slow enough, AND it has a
driver-side airbag, AND the airbag works, AND it inflates fast enough,
AND it cushions the driver well enough to avoid the driver's death.

-- If an airbag doesn't stop the driver, then one or more of these brings
the driver to a stop:

... the car's engine block crashing in through the dashboard
... the steering wheel
... the windshield
... the same brick wall that stopped the car.

Any one of these is probably fatal.

This question is divided into two parts. This is part (a) of the question. A proton accelerates from rest in a uniform electric

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The acceleration of proton is 5.56 x 10^10 m/s^2 .

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0

Electric field, E = 580 N/C

final speed, v = 10^6 m/s

(a) Let the acceleration is a.

According to the Newton's second law

F = m a = q E

where, q is the charge of proton and m is the mass.

$a= \frac{q E}{m}\\\\a = \frac{1.6\times10^{-19}\times 580}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}\\\\a= 5.56\times 10^{10} m/s^2$

The geologic force applied to rocks is called

amid [387]

The geologic force applied to rocks is called compression. Compression is the stress that squeezes rocks together. As a result of the compression rocks fold or fracture depending on their compressive strength or compression strength - the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size.
When the compression is horizontal the crust will be shortened and thickened. When the compression is vertical maximum a section of rock will fail in normal faults, horizontally extending and vertically thinning a given layer of rock.
