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

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When yeast is added into a bottle with water and sugar then after some time yeast becomes activated. This results in the formation of a chemical change as bubbles are formed on the surface of the mixture in the bottle.

This indicates that a gas has been released due to the chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that most likely a chemical change has occurred because a gas was produced.

A cannon ball is shot straight upward with a velocity of 72.50 m/s. How high is the cannon ball above the ground 3.30 seconds af

disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Cannon is fired with a velocity of $u=72.50\ m/s$

Using Equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

$y=displacement$

$u=initial\ velocity$

$a=acceleration$

$t=time$

after time $t=3.3 s$

$y=72.50\times 3.3-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3.3)^2$

$y=239.25-53.36$

$y=185.89\ m$

So after 3.3 s cannon ball is at a height of 185.89 m

Your car's speedometer works in much the same way as its odometer, except that it converts the angular speed of the wheels to a

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Speed will be 30810 rpm

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the tire d = 24 inch

So radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12imch$

We have given linear velocity v = 35 mph

We know that linear velocity is given by $v=\omega r$

$35=\omega \times 12$

$\omega =\frac{35}{12}\times \frac{63360}{60}=3080rad/min$

As we know that 1 mile = 63360 inch and 1 hour = 60 min

BRAINLIEST WELL BE AWARDED.<br>what is an alloy?

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Alloy, metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel.

Explanation:

Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients. The value of alloys was discovered in very ancient times; brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) were especially important. Today, the most important are the alloy steels, broadly defined as steels containing significant amounts of elements other than iron and carbon. The principal alloying elements for steel are chromium, nickel, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, tungsten, vanadium, and boron have a wide range of special properties, such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and ductility. Nonferrous alloys, mainly copper–nickel, bronze, and aluminum alloys, are much used in coinage. The distinction between an alloying metal and an impurity is sometimes subtle; in aluminum, for example, silicon may be considered an impurity or a valuable component, depending on the application, because silicon adds strength though it reduces corrosion resistance.

If this energy were used to vaporize water at 100.0 ∘C, how much water (in liters) could be vaporized? The enthalpy of vaporizat

Zanzabum

Answer:

0.429 L of water

Explanation:

First to all, you are not putting the value of the energy given to vaporize water, so, to explain better this problem, I will assume a value of energy that I took in a similar exercise before, which is 970 kJ.

Now, assuming that the water density is 1 g/mL, this is the same as saying that 1 g of water = 1 mL of water

If this is true, then, we can assume that 1 kg of water = 1 L of water.

Knowing this, we have to use the expression to get energy which is:

Q = m * ΔH

Solving for m:

m = Q / ΔH

Now "m" is the mass, but in this case, the mass of water is the same as the volume, so it's not neccesary to do a unit conversion.

Before we begin with the calculation, we need to put the enthalpy of vaporization in the correct units, which would be in grams. To do that, we need the molar mass of water:

MM = 18 g/mol

The enthalpy in mass:

ΔH = 40.7 kJ/mol / 18 g/mol = 2.261 kJ/g

Finally, solving for m:

m = 970 / 2.261 = 429 g

Converting this into volume:

429 g = 429 mL

429 / 1000 = 0.429 L of water
