Answer:
A. 5.600 m
B. 5.800 s
C. 0.966 m/s
D. 0.315 m
Explanation:
A. The wavelength is the distance between 2 crests, which is 5.600 m
B. Period of the wave is the time for the wave to complete 1 circle (highest point to next highest point). Since it takes 2.9s to travel from highest point to lowest point, it would take another 2.9 to travel from lowest point to the next highest point. So the total time is 2.9 + 2.9 = 5.8 s,
C. The wavespeed is wavelength over unit of time:
5.6 / 5.8 = 0.966 m/s
D. The amplitude would be half the length of highest point to lowest point, which is 0.63 / 2 = 0.315 m
Complete question:
Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. In contrast, a passenger not wearing a seat belt or using an air bag decelerates over a distance of 5mm.
(a) A 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 15 m/s . Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys.
Answer:
The net force on the person as the air bad deploys is -6750 N backwards
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the passenger, m = 60 kg
velocity of the car at impact, u = 15 m/s
final velocity of the car after impact, v = 0
distance moved as the front of the car crumples, s = 1 m
First, calculate the acceleration of the car at impact;
v² = u² + 2as
0² = 15² + (2 x 1)a
0 = 225 + 2a
2a = -225
a = -225 / 2
a = -112.5 m/s²
The net force on the person;
F = ma
F = 60 (-112.5)
F = -6750 N backwards
Therefore, the net force on the person as the air bad deploys is -6750 N backwards
Answer:
the the right because opposites attract to each other
Answer:
Approximately
for the train from Boston to NYC Penn Station.
Approximately
for the train from NYC Penn Station to Boston.
Explanation:
Convert minutes to hours:
.
.
Calculate average speed of each train:
.

Assume that it takes a time period of
for the trains to pass by each other after departure. Distance each train travelled would be:
.
.
Since the trains have just passed by each other, the sum of the two distances should be equal to the distance between the stations:
.
Rearrange and solve for
:
.
