What are the physics terms behind watching TV?

1 answer:

3 0

Everyone knows that one of their favorite past times is sitting in front of the television and watching movies, shows, or playing video games. However with this almost motionless, lazy activity comes a great deal of static physics and mechanics.

When you are sitting down enjoying whatever show it is you may be watching, you actually have several forces acting on you concurrently. For example, by sitting on the couch with no extra weight on you, your weight is equivalent to the normal force, or the force of the couch on you. In addition to the force of the couch of you, if you are leaning on an arm or laying down, a similar force acts on you, except at an angle or incline. The general rule for laying on the couch watching television is that whatever force you exert on an object, that object exerts the same force in the opposite direction, or 180 degrees around.

Question Part Points Submissions Used A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, in

olya-2409 [2.1K]

(a) 328.6 kg m/s

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger in the car is equal to the change in momentum of the passenger:

$I=\Delta p = m\Delta v$

where

m = 62.0 kg is the mass of the passenger

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity of the car (and the passenger), which is

$\Delta v = 5.30 m/s - 0 = 5.30 m/s$

So, the linear impulse experienced by the passenger is

$I=(62.0 kg)(5.30 m/s)=328.6 kg m/s$

(b) 404.7 N

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger is also equal to the product between the average force and the time interval:

$I=F \Delta t$

where in this case

$I=328.6 kg m/s$ is the linear impulse

$\Delta t = 0.812 s$ is the time during which the force is applied

Solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the average force experienced by the passenger:

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{328.6 kg m/s}{0.812 s}=404.7 N$
