During an auto accident, the vehicle's air bags deploy and slow down the passengers more gently than if they had hit the windshi

eld or steering wheel. According to safety standards, the bags produce a maximum acceleration of 60 g, but lasting for only 36 ms (or less).
How far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g?

Answer:

At a deceleration of 60g, or 60 times the acceleration due to gravity a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop

Explanation:

The maximum acceleration of the airbag = 60 g, and the duration of the acceleration = 36 ms or 36/1000 s or 0.036 s

To find out how far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g

we write out the equation of motion thus.

S = ut + 0.5at²

wgere

S = distance to come to complete stop

u = final velocoty = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = 60g = 60 × 9.81

t = time = 36 ms

as can be seen, the above equation calls up the given variable as a function of the required variable thus

S = 0×0.036 + 0.5×60×9.81×0.036² = 0.38 m

At 60g, a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop

Estimate the constant rate of withdrawal (in m3 /s) from a 1375 ha reservoir in a month of 30 days during which the reservoir le
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ha = 10⁴ m²

1375 ha = 1375 x 10⁴ m² = 13.75 x 10⁶ m²

In flow in a month = .5 x 10⁶ x 30 m³ = 15 x 10⁶ m³

Net inflow after all loss = 18.5 - 9.5 - 2.5 cm = 6.5 cm = .065 m

Net inflow in volume = 13.75 x 10⁶ x .065 m³= .89375 x 10⁶ m³

Let Q be the withdrawal in m³

Q - 15 x 10⁶ - .89375 x 10⁶ = 13.75 x 10⁶ x .75 = 10.3125 x 10⁶

Q = 26.20 x 10⁶ m³

rate of withdrawal per second

= 26.20 x 10⁶ / 30 x 24 x 60 x 60

= 26.20 x 10⁶ / 2.592 x 10⁶

= 10.11 m³ / s
