A car traveling at 27.4 m/s hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car, who has a mass of 65.0 kg, moves forward a distance

of 56.0 cm while being brought to rest by an inflated air bag. Assuming that the force that stops the passenger is constant, what is the magnitude F of this force?

Answer:

F=43570.9N

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration experimented by the passenger using the formula v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad, taking the initial direction of movement as the positive direction and considering it comes to a rest:

a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}=\frac{-v_i^2}{2d}

Then we use Newton's 2nd Law to calculate the force the passenger of mass m experimented to have this acceleration:

F=ma=\frac{-mv_i^2}{2d}

Which for our values is:

F=\frac{-(65kg)(27.4m/s)^2}{2(0.56m)}=43570.9N

An ice skater starts with a velocity of 2.25 m/s in a 50.0 direction. after 8.33 m/s in a 120 direction. what is the y-component
Bond [772]

The y-component of the acceleration is 0.33 m/s^2

Explanation:

The y-component of the acceleration is given by:

a_y = \frac{v_y-u_y}{t}

where

v_y is the y-component of the  final velocity

u_y is the y-component of the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

For the ice skater in this problem, we have:

u_y = u sin \theta_1 = (2.25 m/s)(sin 50.0^{\circ})=1.72 m/s

where

u = 2.25 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta_1 = 50.0^{\circ} is the initial  direction

v_y = v sin \theta_2 = (4.65)(sin 120^{\circ})=4.03 m/s, where

v = 4.65 m/s is the final velocity

\theta_2 = 120.0^{\circ} is the final direction

The time elapsed is

t = 8.33 s

Therefore, we can find the y-component of the acceleration:

a_y=\frac{4.03-1.72}{8.33}=0.33 m/s^2

Solubility describes the ability of a substance to evaporate and separate out true or false
sweet [91]
Solubility is a substance dissolving in a liquid. So I would say False just because of the wording here.

Would this officer calculate a higher value of Edef, a lower value of Edef, or the same value of Edef if he used the velocities
NISA [10]

Answer:

<em>The officer would calculate the similar value of Edef.</em>

Explanation:

As Edef is the energy required to deform the body therefore  the reference frame does not affect the calculation of energy. In this context  the value of Edef will remain same irrespective of fact, whichever frame of reference is used.
