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

kondaur [170]

Answer:

254 °C

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of gas molecules K = 3RT/2N where R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol-K, N = avogadro's constant = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol

T = temperature in Kelvin.

Let K be its average kinetic energy at t = -19°C = 273 + (-19) = 273 - 19 = 254 K = T. K = 3RT/2N = 3 × 8.314 J/mol-K × 254 K/(2 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol) = 5.26 × 10⁻²¹ J

When its average kinetic energy doubles, it becomes K₁ = 2K = 2 × 5.26 × 10⁻²¹ = 10.52 × 10⁻²¹ J at temperature T₂. So,

K₁ = 3RT₁/2N

T₁ = 2NK₁/3R

T₁ = 2 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol × 10.52 × 10⁻²¹ J/3 × 8.314 J/mol-K = 508 K

The temperature difference is thus ΔT = T₁ - T = 508 K - 254 K = 254 K.

Since temperature change in kelvin scale equals temperature change in Celsius scale ΔT = 254 °C

So, we need to change the temperature of the air by 254 °C to double its average kinetic energy.

When point charges q = +8.4 uC and q2 = +5.6 uC are brought near each other, each experiences a repulsive force of magnitude 0.6
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Distance between the charges, r = 0.8 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, q_1=+8.4\ \mu C=+8.4\times 10^{-6}\ C

Charge 2, q_2=+5.6\ \mu C=+5.6\times 10^{-6}\ C

Repulsive force between charges, F = 0.66 N

Let r is the distance between charges. The formula for the electrostatic force is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{F}}

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 8.4\times 10^{-6}\times 5.6\times 10^{-6}}{0.66}}

r = 0.8009 meters

or

r = 0.8 meters

So, the distance between the charges i 0.8 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
