A student's life was saved in an automobile accident because an airbag expanded in front of his head. If the car had not been eq

uipped with an airbag, the windshield would have stopped the motion of his head in a much shorter time. Compared to the windshield, the airbag:

Answer:    

Compared to windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force  

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as change in momentum of the object when it is acted upon by a force during interval of time

<em>Impulse = Impulsive force *time</em>

I = F*Δt

If the object should be bought to rest from certain velocity there should be change in momentum. If the duration in which the momentum is increased then there would be less force applied and hence less damage.

Airbags are used to reduce the force experience by the people when they are met with accident by extending the time required to stop the momentum.

During the collision, the passenger is carried towards the<em> windshield</em> and if they are stopped by collision with wind shield the force will be larger and more damage.But if they are hit with airbag then the force will be less due to increased time.

The change is momentum will be the same with or without momentum but its the time that decides the impact of force.By making it longer the force become less.

<em>Thus compared to the windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force.</em>

a nitrogen laser generates a pulse containing 10.0 mj of energy at a wavelength of 340.0 nm. how many photons are in the pulse?
Wewaii [24]

A nitrogen laser generates a pulse containing 10.0 mj of energy at a wavelength of 340.0 nm and has 1785 x 10¹⁹ photons in the pulse.

<h3>How many photons are in the pulse?</h3>

Energy of a single photon is

E=hcλ

E=6.626×10⁻³⁴ J s×3×108 m/s /340×10⁻⁹ m

E=6.31×10⁻¹⁹  J

Number of photons in the laser is

n=Total Energy/Energy per photon

n=10⁷×10⁻³J /5.90×10⁻¹⁹J/photon

n= 1785 x 10¹⁹ photons

The resistance of resistor is greater for:
Monica [59]

Answer:

c: long and thin resistor.

Explanation:

The resistance of a resistor is given by:

R = ρ*L/A

where:

R = resistance

ρ = resistivity (depends on the material)

L =  length of the material

A = cross-sectional area of the material

We can see that the length is on the numerator, which means that if we increase the length, then the resistance is increased.

We also can see that the cross-sectional area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area (for example, with a ticker resistor) the resistance decreases.

Then if we want to maximize the resistance, we need to have a long and thin resistor, so the correct answer is c.
