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

The figure shows five electric charges. Four charges with the magnitude of the charge 2.0 nC form a square with the size a = 4.0
bearhunter [10]

Considering the four electric charges forming a square with magnitude of charge of 2.0 nC on each. :

A) Magnitude of the force on the 5.5 nC charge in the middle of the figure = 3.48 * 10^-4 N

B) Direction of the force on the 5.5 nC charge in the middle of the figure = Leftward ( negative x -axis )

Using the given data :

size of square = 4 cm

magnitudes of four charges = 2.0 nC

<u> a) </u><u>magnitude</u><u> of the force on the center charge </u>

Electric force between two point charges = F = \frac{1}{4\pi *E_{o} } \frac{q1q2}{r^2} ----- ( 1 )

where ; \frac{1}{4\pi E_{o} } = 9 * 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

step 1 ; find r ( distance between charges )

r² = ( 2 )² + ( 2 )² = 8 cm²  

back to equation 1

F = 9 * 10⁹ * \frac{2 * 10^{-9} *  (5.5 * 10^{-9})  }{8*10^{-4} } =  1.23 * 10^-4  N

∴ magnitude of the force on the center charge ( Fnet )= 4F cos 45°

        = 4 * ( 1.23 * 10^-4 ) * \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }  = 3.48 * 10^-4 N

b) The direction of the force at the center is along the negative x-axis ( leftward )

What is the disadvantage of the solar energy?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

In fact, there's only one notable disadvantage to solar power that I can think of. That disadvantage is that the sun doesn't shine 24 hours a day. When the sun goes down or is heavily shaded, solar PV panels stop producing electricity. If we need electricity at that time, we have to get it from some other source.
