Using conservation of momentum, we can solve for the force that the air bag exerts on the person.

Recall the equation for momentum (p):

p = mv = F*dt

We can solve for total momentum, then divide by out time interval. This gets us:

(60kg)(16m/s) = F(0.2s)


F = 4800N

F = 4800N

A heat engine operates with 70.0 kcal of heat supplied and exhausts 30.0 kcal of heat. How much work did the engine do?
gladu [14]

The work done by the heat engine is 40 kCal.

The given parameters;

  • input heat of the engine, Q₁ = 70 kCal
  • output heat of the engine, Q₂ = 30 kCal

To find:

  • the work done by the heat engine

The work done by the heat engine is the change in the heat energy of the engine;

W = Q₂ - Q₁

Substitute the given parameters and solve work done (W)

W = 70 kCal - 30 kal

W = 40 kCal

Thus, the work done by the heat engine is 40 kCal.

The time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point is known as:
laiz [17]
<span>The time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point is known as PERIOD.

In fact, the period is defined as the time it takes a wave to make one complete oscillation: since the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of the wave with same shape, it means that the time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point in space is exactly the period.</span>

Two objects moving with the same speed may not have the same velocity. Why?​
Nutka1998 [239]
Objects have the same velocity only if they are moving at the same speed and in the same direction. Objects moving at different speeds, in different directions, or both have different velocities.
