Answer: a. -720m/s^2

b. Yes, airbags will deploy

Explanation:

The formula for acceleration is:

= (Final velocity - Initial velocity)/Time

Final velocity = 0m/s

Initial velocity = 36m/s

Time taken = 0.05s

= (Final velocity - Initial velocity)/Time

= (0 - 36)/0.05

= -36/0.05

= -720m/s^2.

Since it's negative, it shows that there was a deceleration.

2. Yes the airbag will deploy since the acceleration gotten is more than -600 m/s^2.

A plank of length L=2.200 m and mass M=4.00 kg is suspended horizontally by a thin cable at one end and to a pivot on a wall at

Elenna [48]

The tension in the cable is 23.2 N

<h3>What is the tension in the string?</h3>

The tension in the cable can be resolved into horizontal and vertical forces Tcosθ and Tsinθ respectively.

Tcosθ, is acting perpendicularly, Tcosθ = 0

Taking moments about the pivot:

Tsinθ * 2.2 = 4 * 9.8 * 0.7

Solving for θ;

θ = tan⁻¹(1.4/2.2) = 32.5°

T = 27.44/(sin 32.5 * 2.2)

T = 23.2 N

In conclusion, the tension in the cable is determined by taking moments about the pivot.

A 90 kg painter is standing on a horizontal wooden scaffolding of length 10 m, which is supported on each end by a rope. The pai

RSB [31]

Explanation:

For equilibrium, $\sum M = 0$ .

So, $8 m \times mg - (10 m) T_{1}$ = 0

$T_{1} = \frac{8 \times mg}{10}$

= $\frac{8 \times 90 \times 9.8}{10}$

= 705.6 N

Also, for equilibrium $\sum F_{y}$ = 0

$T_{1} + T_{2} - mg$ = 0

or, $T_{2} = mg - T_{1}$

= $90 \times 9.8 - 705.6$

= 176.4 N

Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the first rope is 176.4 N.

Two paths lead to the top of a big hill. One is steep and direct, while the other is twice as long but less steep. How much more

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, depends only of the mass on which the gravity is doing work, and the displacement produced by this force.
As displacement depends only on the final and initial positions (in this case, the height of the hill), if we choose as our zero reference level the bottom of the hill, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

$\Delta U = U_{f} -U_{0} = m*g*h - 0 = m*g*h$

As we can see, the only value of distance involved is the height of the hill , so it is independent of the distance travelled.
