Physics

Air bags are kept in the steering wheel or dashboard and expand during a serious collision, usually a front collision that occurs at over 10 mph. To do its important job, an air bag comes out of the dashboard at up to 200 mph, faster than the blink of an eye. It is estimated around 10 inches of space to inflate. The force of an air bag can hurt those who are too close to it. Driver and front seat passengers should be moved as far back as practical, mainly people of short built. It is highly suggested that you be seated no less than 10 inches away from the air bag. Therefore, the answer is letter b.

strojnjashka [21]
Force equals mass*distance
F = ma

Given m = 10 kg, F = 30 N

30 = 10a
30/10 = a
3 = a

The wagon's acceleration is 3 m/s^2

The air movements toward the equator are called trade winds, which are warm, steady breezes that blowalmost continuously. The Coriolis Effect makes the trade winds appear to be curving to the west, whether they are traveling to the equator from the south or north. Answer trade wind

A person wants to fire a water balloon cannon such that it hits a target 100m100m away. if the cannon can only be launched at 45
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>31.3 m/s Since the water balloon is being launched at a 45 degree angle, the horizontal and vertical speeds will be identical. Also the time the balloon takes to reach its peak altitude will match the time it takes to fall. So let's create a few expressions about what we know. Distance the water balloon travels at velocity v for time t d = vt Total time required for the entire trip is double since the balloon goes up, then goes down t = 2v/a Now let's plug in the numbers we have, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 t = 2v/9.8 100 = vt Substitute 2v/9.8 for t in the 2nd formula 100 = v(2v/9.8) Solve for v. 100 = v(2v/9.8) 100 = 2v^2/9.8 980. = 2v^2 490 = v^2 22.13594 = v So we now know that both the horizontal velocity and vertical velocity needed is 22.13594 m/s. Let's verify that 2*22.13594 / 9.8 = 4.51754 So it will take 4.51754 second for the balloon to hit the ground after being launched. 4.51754 * 22.13594 = 100 And during that time it will travel 100 meters horizontally. But we need to know the total velocity. And the Pythagorean theorem comes to the rescue. Just square the 2 velocities, add them together, and take the square root. We already know the square is 490 from the work above, so sqrt(490+490) = sqrt(980) = 31.30495 m/s</span>

As a solid element melts, the atoms become __________ and they have __________ attraction for one another. more separated, more
galina1969 [7]
The complete statement is 

As a solid element melts, the atoms become more separated and they have less attraction for one another. 

Let me explain to you how this happens. In solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a very compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. At this point, the molecules would have lesser attraction because of the distance between them.
