A car traveling at 50 km/h hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car moves forward a distance of 61 cm (with respect to the

road) while being brought to rest by an inflated air bag. What magnitude of force (assumed constant) acts on the passenger's upper torso, which has a mass of 44 kg?

Answer:

6.95 kN

Explanation:

Given that

Speed of the car, u = 50 kmph

Distance moved by the passenger, s = 61 cm = 0.061 m

Mass of the passenger, m = 44 kg

Converting the initial velocity from km/h to m/s, we have

50 kmph = 50 * 1000/3600

50 kmph = 13.89 m/s

Using one of the equations of motion,

v² = u² + 2as, where v = 0,making a the subject of formula

a = -u²/2s

a = -(13.89²) / 2 * 0.61

a = -192.93 / 1.22

a = -158 m/s²

The force acting on the passenger's leg, F = m.a, so

-F = 44 * -158

F = 6952 N, or 6.95 kN

Answer:

6957.04N

Explanation:

Using

vf2=vi2+2ad

But vf = 0 .

So convert 50km/hr to m/s, and you need to convert 61 cmto m

(50km/hr)*(1hr/3600s)*(1000m/km) = 13.9m/s

61cm * (1m/100cm) = .61m

So n

0 = (13.9m/s)^2 + 2a(.61m)

a = 158.11m/s^2

So

using F = ma

F = 44kg(158.11m/s^2) = 6957.04N

Why do we feel the force of gravity from the Earth but we don’t feel the force of gravity from the moon?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The gravitational force on the moon is less than on Earth because the strength of gravity is determined by an object's mass. The bigger the object, the bigger the gravitational force. Gravity is pretty much everywhere. We just feel it in different ways depending on our state of motion.

For safety reasons, a worker’s eye travel time in a certain operation must be separated from the manual elements that follow. Th
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The answer is 12.67 TMU

Explanation:

Recall that,

worker’s eyes travel  distance must be = 20 in.

The perpendicular distance from her eyes to the line of travel is =24 in

What is the MTM-1 normal time in TMUs that should be allowed for the eye travel element = ?

Now,

We solve for the given problem.

Eye travel is = 15.2 * T/D

=15.2 * 20 in/24 in

so,

= 12.67 TMU

Therefore, the MTM -1 of normal time that should be allowed for the eye  travel element is = 12.67 TMU
