Explain the importance of wearing your seatbelt using Newton’s laws and motion

Physics
1 answer:
Elis [28]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states: "an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, until acted upon by an unbalanced force."

When you're riding in a vehicle, your body is moving forward.  When the vehicle slows or turns, your body's inertia continues to move you forward.  The seatbelt is the unbalanced force that pushes you back into your seat.  Without it, you would slide off your seat.

A projectile is launched in the horizontal direction. It travels 2.050 m horizontally while it falls 0.450 m vertically, and it
kompoz [17]

Answer:

a) 0.303 s b) 6.77 m/s c) - 2.97  m/s d) 7.39 m/s

Explanation:

horizontal distance travel = 2.050 m, vertical distance travel = 0.45 m

Using equation of linear motion

Sy = Uy t + 1/2 gt² Uy is the inital vertical component of the velocity, t is the time taken for the vertical motion in seconds, and S is the vertical distance traveled, taken downward vertical motion as negative

-0.45 = 0 - 0.5 × 9.81×t²

0.45 / (0.5 × 9.81) = t²

t = √0.0917 = 0.303 s

b) horizontal distance traveled = horizontal velocity (Ux) × t

Ux = horizontal distance traveled / t = 2.050 / 0.303 = 6.77 m/s

c) Velocity in the vertical direction can be calculated using

Vy = Uy - gt where g is negative since initial U is zero

Vy = - 9.81 × 0.303 = - 2.97  m/s

d) the magnitude of the velocity = resultant of the the two velocity

using Pythagoras theorem

the magnitude of the velocity = √ ( 6.77² + 2.97²) = 7.39 m/s

at angle = tan^-1 ( 2.97 / 6.77) =  23.69⁰

The speed of a car increases uniformly from 6 m/s to 42 m/s in 9 second calculate the acceleration of the car​
djyliett [7]

The acceleration of the car​ which changes the speed uniformly is 4 m/s²

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the rate change of velocity with time.

acceleration a = (Δv) / (Δt)

Given is the initial velocity 6m/s and final velocity 42m/s, the time take fir this change in speed is 9s.

Substitute the values, we have

a = (42-6)/9

a = 36/9

a =4 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration is 4 m/s²

What is the unit for work is called
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The unit you should use for work done and energy is the joule (J) which is indeed the same as the newton metre (N m).

There is another physical quantity which is the product of force and distance and that is torque or moment of a force.

The unit you should use for torque is the newton metre (Nm) and not the joule.

Naming the units of work done and torque differently helps to emphasis the fact that work done and torque refer to two different physical quantities although the definitions of both quantities have the product of force and distance in them.

work done=force→⋅displacement→ and torque→=force→×displacement→

Which of the following has potential but not kinetic energy?
joja [24]

Answer:

<h2>D.)</h2>

Explanation:

Potential energy is when a object is not in motion and the ball is sitting on a shelf not being thrown around or rolling. kinetic energy is when a obeject is in motion and moving.
