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

If the lens in a person's eye is too highly curved, this person is suffering from?
Xelga [282]

If the lens in a person's eye is too highly curved, this person is suffering from: nearsightedness.

lens is a piece of transparent material (such as glass) that has two opposite regular surfaces either both curved or one curved and the other plane and that is used either singly or combined in an optical instrument for forming an image by focusing rays of light.

The lens is used to form an image of an object by focusing rays of light from the object.

Various types of lenses are :

  • Concave lens.
  • Convex lens.
  • Plano lens.

A common black ant discovers a piece of bread 85 cm east of the entrance of her nest. If the ant carries 10 bits of bread back t
babunello [35]

Answer:

19 x 85 = 1,615 for distance. Displacement is 0

Explanation:

The total distance traveled by the ant in 9 round trips and one 1/2 trip, or 19 one bash way trips: 19 x 85cm = 1615cm. The displacement of the ant after the tenth trip is 0 cm ( the displacement origin is the nest.)
