Explain in terms of impulse how padding reduces forces in a collision. State this in terms of a real example, such as the advant

Lena [83]

Answer:

Impulse = Average force x time of contact

Explanation:

Impulsive force is a force which is very large but applied on a body for a very small duration of time.

Impulse is given by the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = Average force x small time interval

When padding is there, the time interval of contact is large and thus, the force exerted by the body is small.

So, when a person falls on the tile floor, there is no compression and thus, the time of contact is very small and thus the impulsive force is very large, due to which the body may damage.

So, when a person falls on the carpeted floor, there is a compression and thus, the time of contact is comparatively large and thus the impulsive force is small, due to which the body may safe.

A third baseman makes a throw to first base 40.5 m away. The ball leaves his hand with a speed of 30.0 m/s at a height of 1.4 m

Ugo [173]

Answer:

When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity = 30 cos17.3 = 28.64 m/s

Horizontal displacement = 40.5 m

Time

$t=\frac{40.5}{28.64}=1.41s$

Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

Vertical velocity = 30 sin17.3 = 8.92 m/s

Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

Acceleration = -9.81m/s²

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

s = 8.92 x 1.41 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.41²= 2.83 m

Height of throw = 1.4 m

Height traveled by ball = 2.83 m

Total height = 2.83 + 1.4 = 4.23 m

When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

A block with mass m = 0.450 kg is attached to one end of an ideal spring and moves on a horizontal frictionless surface. The oth

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

k = 26.25 N/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block= 0.450

distance of the block = + 0.240

acceleration = a_x = -14.0 m/s²

velocity = v_x = + 4 m/s

spring force constant (k) = ?

we know,

x = A cos (ωt - ∅).....(1)

v = - ω A cos (ωt - ∅)....(2)

a = ω²A cos (ωt - ∅).........(3)

$\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

now from equation (3)

$a_x = \dfrac{k}{m}x$

$k = \dfrac{m a_x}{x}$

$k = \dfrac{0.45 \times (-14)}{0.24}$

k = 26.25 N/m

hence, spring force constant is equal to k = 26.25 N/m

The molecule of magnet are independent _____________

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The first is the electric field, which describes the force acting on a stationary charge and gives the component of the force that is independent of motion. The magnetic field, in contrast, describes the component of the force that is proportional to both the speed and direction of charged particles.
