During an auto accident, the vehicle's airbags deploy and slow down the passengers more gently than if they had hit the windshie

ld or steering wheel. According to safety standards, airbags produce a maximum acceleration of 60g that lasts for only 36 ms (or less). How far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60 g?

Answer:

0.38 m

Explanation:

As we know that the person due to the airbag action, comes to a complete stop, in a time of 36 msec or less, and during this interval, is decelerated at a constant rate of 60 g, we can find the initial velocity (when airbag starts to work), as follows:

vf = v₀ -a*t  

If vf = 0, we can solve for v₀:

v₀ = a*t = 60*9.8 m/s²*36*10⁻³s = 21.2 m/s

With these values of v₀, a and t, we can find Δx, applying any kinematic equation that relates these parameters with the displacement.

Just for simplicity, we can use the following equation:

 vf^{2} - vo^{2} =2*a*d

where vf=0, v₀ =21.2 m/s and a= -588 m/s².

Solving for d:

 d =\frac{21.2 m/s}{588 m/s2} = 0.38 m

⇒ d = 0.38 m

A small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball. which describes how the small ball likely r
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer;

-it will move away from the large ball because like charges repel.

Explanation;

-Electric force is the force that pushes apart two like charges, or that pulls together two unlike charges. The basic law of electrostatics Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other.

When small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball it would be pushed away from the large positively charged ball since they are both positively charged. One has to put in energy to try to move the small ball closer to the large ball. The closer one try to move it to the large ball, the more energy one has to put in, so the more electrical potential energy the small ball would have.

How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?
fomenos
I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

Step 2: Apply NEwton's second law Apply ∑Fy = may , what should ay be equal to, since the block doesn't move in the y direction
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

∑Fy = 0, because there is no movement, N = m*g*cos (omega)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the help of a free body diagram where we show the respective forces in each one of the axes, y & x. The free-body diagram and the equations are in the image attached.

If the product of mass by acceleration is zero, we must clear the normal force of the equation obtained. The acceleration is equal to zero because there is no movement on the Y-axis.
