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.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

18 radians

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Torque = Force × Moment arm

= 1N × 1M

= 1N-M

Torque = I\alpha

\alpha = \frac{torque}{I}\\\\= \frac{1}{100}\\\\= 0.01 rad/s^2

Now

\theta = w_ot + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\\\\w_o = 0\\\\\theta = 0 \times 60 + \frac{1}{2} \times 0.01 \times 60^2\\\\= 18\ radians

Here t = 1 minutes = 60 seconds

The efficiency of a screw is low because of _____.
AfilCa [17]
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the second option. A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. <span>The efficiency of a screw is low because there is more input than output. In other words, it is because of friction. Hope this answer helps.</span>

If Star A and Star B have the same absolute magnitude, but Star A is brighter, what does that tell us?
Hatshy [7]
We can conclude that star A is closer to us than star B.

In fact, the absolute magnitude gives a measure of the brightness of the star, if all the stars are placed at the same distance from Earth. So, it's a measure of the absolute luminosity of the star, indipendently from its distance from us: since the two stars have same absolute magnitude, it means that if they were at same distance from Earth, they would appear with same luminosity. Instead, we see star A brighter than star B, and the only explanation is that star A is closer to Earth than star B (the closer the star A, the brigther it is)

An 80-kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at constant velocity while pushing with his poles.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

Explanation:

To answer this question, let's write Newton's second law of the two axes

Y Axis  

        Fy + N - W = 0

        Fy + N = W

X axis

       Fx - fr = 0

      Fx = fr

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

   The direction of this force is along the length of the rods that are in an Angle, where the x and y components of the force come from

In general this force is small because the rubbing of the skis is small
