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

You found the distance that you will cover while braking. You can use the expected amount of time for braking to check your answ
katrin [286]

Answer:

Explanation:

First we need to determine the distance covered during deceleration. According to the equation of motion.

S = ut+1/2at²

Given:

u = 20m/s

t = 0.50s

a = -10m/s (deceleration is negative acceleration)

S = 20²+1/2(-10)(0.5)²

S = 400-5(0.5)²

S = 400-5(0.25)

S = 400-1.25

S = 398.75m

If the deer steps onto the road 35m in front of you, the distance between you and the deer when you come to a stop will be 398.75-35 = 363.75m

A 1500 kg elevator, suspended by a single cable with tension 16.0 kN, is measured to be moving upward at 1.2 m/s. Air resistance
kirill115 [55]

Tension in the Cable is 0.87 m/s6^2, Elevator's speed after it has moved 10m is 1.6*10^5 N, Work done by gravity is  1.47 * 10^3 N, Elevator Kinetic Energy is 13897.5J and Elevator Speed after rising to 10m is 4.312 m/s.

Tension is a pulling force that operates in one dimension along the cables' axes in the opposite direction from the direction of the applied force. The combined weight of the elevator box and the passenger riding inside it, in the case of an elevator, provides the pulling force in the cables is called Tension.

A moving object or particle's kinetic energy, which depends on both mass and speed, is one of its characteristics. The type of motion can be vibration, translation, rotation around an axis, or any combination of these. Kinetic energy is a type of energy that an item or particle possesses as a result of motion.

We know that,

Tension in the Cable

T = m(g+a)  = g+a = T/m = 16 * 103 / 1500 = 10.67 m/s2

a = 10.67 - 9.8 = 0.87 m/s6^2

Elevator's speed after it has moved 10m.

U^2 = u^2 +2as

= 1.22 +2*0.87*10

=1.6*10^5 N

Work done by gravity  = mg * 10 = 14700 * 10 = 1.47 * 10^3 N

Elevator Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2*1500*18.53 = 13897.5J

Elevator Speed after rising to 10m ,

U^2 = u^2 +2as =  1.2 +2*0.87*10 = 18.6

U =(18.6)^1/2=4.312 m/s
