To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is moving at 7.69 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on col

lision. Each driver has mass 82.6 kg. The total vehicle masses are 810 kg for the car and 4280 kg for the truck. Note that these values include the masses of the drivers. If the collision time is 0.129 s, (a) what force does the seat belt exert on the truck driver?

Answer:

Force(F) = -80,955.01 N

Explanation:

We need to first determine the impulse that the truck driver received from the car during the collision

So; m₁v₁ - m₂v₂ = (m₁m₂)v₀

where;

m₁ = mass of the truck = 4280 kg

v₁ = v₂ =  speed of the each vehicle = 7.69 m/s

m₂ = mass of the car = 810 kg

Substituting our data; we have:

(4280×7.69) - (810×7.69) = (4280+810)v₀

32913.2 - 6228.9 = (5090)v₀

26684.1 =  (5090)v₀

v₀ = \frac{26684.1}{5090}

v₀ = 5.25 m/s

NOW, Impulse on the truck = m (v₀ - v)

= 4280 × (5.25 - 7.69)

= 4280 ×  (-2.44)

= -10,443.2 kg. m/s

Force that the seat belt exert on the truck driver can be calculated as:

Impulse = Force × Time

-10,443.2 kg. m/s = F (0.129)

F = \frac{-10,443.2}{0.129}

Force(F) = -80,955.01 N

Thus, the Force that the seat belt exert on the truck driver = -80,955.01 N

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Research towards increasing the understanding of progressive illnesses, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

Explanation:

The Yerkes Primate center was established in 1930 by Robert Yerkes, in Orange Park, Florida. But was moved to its present location in Emory University.

The center has its focus on two major area of research, which are  Immunology and Vaccine, and research towards  increasing the understanding of progressive illnesses, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

How do you find the net force acting on an object?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

C. Add all the force vectors

Explanation:

The net force acting on an object is the vector sum of all the  forces on the object.

Remember, Newton's first law tells us a body at rest will remain at rest or that in uniform motion will continue in motion unless acted by unbalanced forces.These unbalanced forces act in all direction towards the body thus to get the net force you require a summation of all these force with respect to their magnitudes and directions.

For example a force of 3N towards the East direction acting on a body and another force of 2N towards the West direction on the same body will generate a net force of 1N towards the East direction.

A green truck is moving to the right. A red truck is moving to the left with a speed of 6 m/s. The mass of the red truck is 1,00
Contact [7]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of red truck = 1000 kg

m_2 = Mass of green truck= 3000 kg

u_1 = Initial Velocity of red truck = 6 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of green truck

v = Velocity with which they move together = 0

For elastic collision

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =0\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\frac{m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\frac{1000\times 6}{3000}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-2\ m/s

Velocity of the green truck is 2 m/s

A large raindrop-the type that lands with a definite splat-has a mass of 0.0014 g and hits your roof at a speed of 8.1 m/s. a. W
DENIUS [597]

Answer

given,

mass of the drop, m = 0.0014 g

speed of the drop, u = 8.1 m/s

a) Change in momentum is equal to impulse

   final velocity of the drop, v = 0 m/s

   J = m ( v - u )

   J = 0.0014 x 10⁻³ x ( 0 - 8.1 )

   J = -1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s

impulse of the roof = - J = 1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s

b) time, t = 0.37 m s

   impact of force = ?

  we know

     J = F x t

   1.134 x 10⁻⁵ = F x 0.37 x 10⁻³

     F =  0.031 N

the magnitude of the force of the impact is equal to F =  0.031 N
