The main purpose of an air bag is to stop a passenger during a car accident in a greater amount of time than if the air bag were

Simora [160]

Answer:

a) 45571 N

b) 22786 N

c) 4557 N

Explanation:

Since the goal of the airbag is helping the person to stop after the collision in a greater time, this means that the change in momentum must finish when this is just zero.
In other words, the change in momentum, must be equal to the initial one, but with opposite sign.

$\Delta p = - p_{o} = -m*v = -55 kg*29m/s = -1595 kgm/s (1)$

Now, just applying the original form of Newton's 2nd Law, we know that this change in momentum must be equal to the impulse needed to stop the person:

$\Delta p = F* \Delta t (2)$

So, as we know the magnitude of Δp from (1) and we have different Δt as givens, we can get the different values of F (in magnitude) required to stop the person for each one of them, as follows:

$F_{1} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{1}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.035s} = 45571 N (3)$

$F_{2} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{2}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.07s} = 22786 N (4)$

$F_{3} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{3}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.35s} = 4557 N (5)$

Earth’s polar ice caps contain about 2.3 × 1019 kg of ice. This mass contributes essentially nothing to the moment of inertia of

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial moment of inertia of the earth I₁ = 2/5 MR² , M is mss of the earth and R is the radius . If ice melts , it forms an equivalent shell of mass 2.3 x 10¹⁹ Kg

Final moment of inertia I₂ = 2/5 M R² + 2/3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²

For change in period of rotation we shall apply conservation of angular momentum law

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ ω₂ , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocities initially and finally .

I₁ / I₂ = ω₂ / ω₁

I₁ / I₂ = T₁ / T₂ , T₁ , T₂ are time period initially and finally .

T₂ / T₁ = I₂ / I₁

(2/5 M R² + 2/3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ x R²) / 2/5 MR²

1 + 5 / 3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / M

= 1 + 5 / 3 x 2.3 x 10¹⁹ / 5.97 x 10²⁴

= 1 + .0000064

T₂ = 24 (1 + .0000064)

= 24 hours + .55 s

change in length of the day = .55 s .

A) Show that the surface temperature of a star can be inferred from measurements of blackbodyfluxes at two different frequencies

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The answers to the questions have been solved in the attachment.

Explanation:

The answers to part a to e are all contained in the attachment. For answer part b, temperature and frequency were assumed to be fixed or constant. V² is directly proportional to T telling us that variation in T gives us a square in the frequency variation. This tells us why it is difficult when both frequencies are on this side of the black body.
