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.

The graph above shows the position x as a function of time for the center of mass of a system of particles of total mass 6. 0 kg
kumpel [21]

The resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns. The momentum is conserved.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass =6.0 kg

t is the time interval=2 second

From Newton's second law;

\rm \triangle P =m \triangle V \\\\ \triangle P= m(\frac{\triangle x}{\triangle t} )\\\\

From the graph;

\rm \triangle t = 2sec\\\\ \triangle x = (12-8) m

The change in the momentum is;

\rm \triangle P = m\tr(\frac{v-u}{t}) \\\\ \triangle P =9.3 \times \frac{12-8}{2} \\\\ \triangle P= +18.6 \  N.s

Hence, the resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns.

A book has been lifted 1.5 meters into the air giving it 30J of potential energy. How much force was used to lift it
joja [24]

Answer:

Force on the object is 20 N

Explanation:

As we know that work done to raise the book from initial position to final position is known as potential energy stored in it

So here we know that

U = F.s

here we know that

U = 30 J

s = displacement = 1.5 m

so we have

30 = F(1.5)

F = 20 N

49. A block is pushed across a horizontal surface with a
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

(a) 37.5 kg

(b) 4

Explanation:

Force, F = 150 N

kinetic friction coefficient = 0.15

(a) acceleration, a = 2.53 m/s^2

According to the newton's second law

Net force = mass x acceleration

F - friction force = m a

150 - 0.15 x m g = m a

150 = m (2.53 + 0.15 x 9.8)

m = 37.5 kg

(b) As the block moves with the constant speed so the applied force becomes the friction force.

F = \mu m g \\\\150 = \mu\times 37.5\\\\\mu = 4

What is Nitrogens main function in the atmosphere?
xenn [34]
Hi , basically the atmosphere is made up of 78% of nitrogen, nitrogen is very special and important because if the air was just made up of oxygen the air that we breath would be very flammable and toxic .That's why we have nitrogen.
