Complete question:
Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. In contrast, a passenger not wearing a seat belt or using an air bag decelerates over a distance of 5mm.
(a) A 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 15 m/s . Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys.
Answer:
The net force on the person as the air bad deploys is -6750 N backwards
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the passenger, m = 60 kg
velocity of the car at impact, u = 15 m/s
final velocity of the car after impact, v = 0
distance moved as the front of the car crumples, s = 1 m
First, calculate the acceleration of the car at impact;
v² = u² + 2as
0² = 15² + (2 x 1)a
0 = 225 + 2a
2a = -225
a = -225 / 2
a = -112.5 m/s²
The net force on the person;
F = ma
F = 60 (-112.5)
F = -6750 N backwards
Therefore, the net force on the person as the air bad deploys is -6750 N backwards
<u>Answer:</u>
In order from lowest urgency to highest, the sequence which properly ranks the product categories issued by the National Weather Service are as follows:
B- Outlook, Watch, Advisory, Warning.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An outlook for a hazardous weather describes the potential hazardous weather of concern in day 1 through 7. There are total two segments of the outlook, one for the marine zones and the second for the land based zones.
A watch is issued when there is the possibility of hazardous weather within 48 hours, it does not guarantee that a hazardous weather is going to come, it just reminds the possibilities of any such weather to come.
Advisory comes third in the urgency ranking, we can explain this through an example: a winter weather advisory may be issued for amount of freezing rain or when there are chance of 2 to 4 inches of snow. And, in winter weather, an warning may be issued when there is one fourth inch or more of ice accumulation.
Answer:
θ = 12.60°
Explanation:
In order to calculate the angle below the horizontal for the velocity of the hockey puck, you need to calculate both x and y component of the velocity of the puck, and also you need to use the following formula:
(1)
θ: angle below he horizontal
vy: y component of the velocity just after the puck hits the ground
vx: x component of the velocity
The x component of the velocity is constant in the complete trajectory and is calculated by using the following formula:
vo: initial velocity = 28.0 m/s
The y component is calculated with the following equation:
(2)
voy: vertical component of the initial velocity = 0m/s
g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2
y: height
You solve the equation (2) for vy and replace the values of the parameters:
Finally, you use the equation (1) to find the angle:
The angle below the horizontal is 12.60°
Answer:
e) indicated that the speed of light is the same in all inertial reference frames.
Explanation:
In 18th century, many scientists believed that the light just like air and water needs a medium to travel. They called this medium <em>aether</em>. They believed that even the space is not empty and filled with aether.
Michelson and Morley tried to prove the presence and speed of this aether through an interference experiment in 1887. They made an interferometer in which light was emitted at various angles with respect to the supposed aether. Both along the flow and against the flow to see the difference in the speed of light. But they did not find no major difference and thus it became the first proof to disprove the theory of aether.
It thus proved that the speed of light remains same in all inertial frames.
Also, it became a base for the special theory of relativity by Einstein.
W = Fd = 4(2100) = 8400 J
So the answer is A) 8400 J
I was just rewriting my notes on the work lesson I did in class today, so I saw this question at the perfect time!! :)
Hope it helps!! :)
