Physics
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

As speed of a particle has a limit so does its momentum has a limit.

Explanation:

As we know that in this Universe no information can travel faster than the speed of light.

The speed of light is the fastest possible speed and hence the quantities dependent on it also have certain limits.

The momentum of a body at normal non-relativistic speed is given as:

p=m.v

The momentum of a body at relativistic speed (a speed of the order of speed of light) is given as:

p=m.v.\gamma

here

\gamma =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }}  Lorentz factor

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

Here we need to remember two of Newton's laws.

The second one says that:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

And the third one says that;

"If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A"

From the third law, if the car experiences a force F due to the impact with the truck, then the truck experiences the same force F due to the impact.

But this seems odd, because we would expect to see the car being more affected by the impact, right?

Well, this is explained by the second law.

Suppose that the mass of the car is m, and the mass of the truck is M.

such that M > m

Then for the small car we have:

F = m*a

And for the truck:

F = M*a'

Because the force is the same for both of them, we can write:

m*a = M*a'

a = (M/m)*a'

because M > m, then M/m > 1.

This means that the acceleration that the car experiences is larger than the acceleration for the truck, and this is why we would see that the car seems more affected by the impact, regardless of the fact that both vehicles experience the same force in the impact.

goblinko [34]

Answer;

-Sensors

-Sensors are placed on dangerous machinery to detect motion, light, heat, pressure, or another stimulus. Their presence helps protect operators from injury while working on machines.

Explanation;

-Machinery, safety and factory floor sensors and switches help workers become more productive, efficient, and safe.

-Hazardous machines and systems are frequently equipped with safety elements (safety doors) with a locking mechanism to protect the operator. Their function is to prevent hazardous machine functions if the safety door is not closed and locked and to keep the safety door closed and locked until the risk of injury has passed.
