Answer:

-2200 N

Explanation:

Here we can use the impulse theorem, which states that the impulse exerted on Sarah (product of force and duration of collision) is equal to Sarah's change in momentum:

I=\Delta p\\F \Delta t = m \Delta v

where

F is the average force

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

m is the mass

\Delta v is the change in velocity

In this problem:

m = 55 kg

\Delta v = 0-20 = -20 m/s

\Delta t = 0.5 s

Solving the formula, we find the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah:

F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(55)(-20)}{0.5}=-2200 N

And the negative sign means the direction is opposite to that of Sarah's initial motion.

The average intensity of sunlight at the top of the earth's atmosphere in 1390 w/m2. what is the maximum energy that a 34-m x 46
slavikrds [6]
Panel surface area =34m×46m=1,564m^2
total power =1564m^2×1390w/m^2
=2173960watts
now you must calculate total energy.
Energy = power×Time
However time must be in seconds so we multiply 2hrs×60min×60s=7200seconds
7200s×2173960w =15,652,512,000 joules of energy
