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

under what conditions would a scale record a weight for an object which is equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force on
d1i1m1o1n [39]
In a non accelerated frame, also called inertial frame, when no additional forces are acting upon the body.

For instance, a scale in free fall will not record the weight, but zero, like the astronauts. But also, if someone is pulling the object or pushing it, the scale will record some other value.

The ability of your joints and muscles to move in their full range of motion is called
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Dynamic flexibility

Explanation:

Dynamic flexibility can be generally defined as the ability of the body muscles and joints to move in full range of motion. High flexibility in these joints and muscles leads to the decreasing pain and injury in different parts of the body.

Proper warm up exercises are needed to be carried out that involves both the combination of controlling movements and stretching of the body, and this directly enhances the dynamic flexibility of the body.

The athletes and sports persons possesses a good dynamic flexibility of their body as they carry our different types of body exercises.
