Sarah, who has a mass of 55 kg, is riding in a car at 20 m/s. She sees a cat crossing the street and slams on the brakes! Her se

avanturin [10]

Answer:

-2200 N

Explanation:

The change in momentum of Sarah is equal to the impulse, which is the product between the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah and the time during which the force is applied:

$\Delta p=I\\m \Delta v = F \Delta t$

where

m is the mass

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

F is the average force

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

In this problem:, we have:

m = 55 kg is Sarah's mass

$\Delta v = 0-20 = -20 m/s$ is the change in velocity

$\Delta t = 0.5 s$ is the duration of the collision

Solving for F, we find the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah:

$F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(55)(-20)}{0.5}=-2200 N$

Where the negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to that of Sarah's initial velocity.

What is the acceleration of an object that goes from 45m/s to 10 m/s in 5 seconds?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= -7 \ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

$a= \frac {v_f-v_i}{t}$

The object accelerates <em>from</em> 45 meters per second <em>to </em>10 meters per second in 5 seconds. Therefore,

$v_f=10 \ m/s \\v_i= 45 \ m/s \\t= 5 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$a= \frac{ 10 \ m/s - 45 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Solve the numerator.

$a= \frac { -35 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Divide.

$a= -7 \ m/s/s$

$a= -7 \ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is -7 meters per square second. The acceleration is negative because the object's velocity decreases and the object slows down.

Two boxers are fighting. Boxer 1 throws his 5 kg fist at boxer 2 with a speed of 9 m/s.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.001 s

Explanation:

The force applied on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

F is the force applied

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

$\Delta p=m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

So the original equation can be written as

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}$

In this problem:

m = 5 kg is the mass of the fist

u = 9 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity

F = -45,000 N is the force applied (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion)

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for the time:

$\Delta t=\frac{m(v-u)}{F}=\frac{(5)(0-9)}{-45,000}=0.001 s$

What is the general relationship between earthquake epicenters and volcano positions along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Centr

yanalaym [24]

Geographically throughout this area of Mexico, Central America Caribbean is located the Cocos plate. This area is scientifically known as the Central American subduction zone.

In order for a volcano to form, there is usually a clash between the technical plates that generates the elevation of the ground and the connection with ducts that release the magma from the earth. If this entire area is a subduction area, it will also be a land stress release area where volcano lines will be formed, that is, it is a convergent plate boundary area
