Man made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time

Physics
1 answer:
lyudmila [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Examples of man-made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time are "airbags" in vehicles and "arrestor beds" (for trucks).

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the topic about "Impulse" in Physics.

"Impulse"<em> refers to an object's change in momentum (the amount of motion in an object) when a force acts upon it for an interval time.</em> When it comes to providing safety to people when it comes to vehicular crashes, impulse plays a vital role.

Let's take the example of airbags in vehicles. Once a vehicle collides with another object, the driver is carried by a forward motion. Without airbags, the time is normally shorter for the driver to be stopped by the windshield. This results to a greater force. However, with the presence of air-bags, the driver will hit the airbag, instead of the windshield. <u>This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.</u>

Another example are the arrestor beds for trucks. Arrestor beds have been designed in order for trucks to stop, since it's hard to maneuver them. <u>With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.</u>

A (light) pallet has a load of cases of tomato paste each of which is a cube of length L and has identical mass. Find the center
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

From left = 1.2L

From back = 0.9L

Explanation:

5 x = 3(L-X) + 2(2L-X)

X = 0.7L

Distance from left = 1.2L

7y = 2(L-X)+1(2L-x)

Y = 0.4L

Distance from back = 0.9L

Consider Compton Scattering with visible light.A photon with wavelength 500nm scatters backward(theta=180degree) from a free ele
JulijaS [17]

Answer: 4.86(10)^{-12}m

Explanation:

The Compton Shift \Delta \lambda in wavelength when photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta) (1)  

Where:  

\lambda'=500 nm=500(10)^{-9} m is the wavelength of the scattered photon

\lambda_{o}  is the wavelength of the incident photon

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}.c}, being h=4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c=3(10)^{8}m/s the speed of light in vacuum.  

\theta=180\° the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.  

\Delta \lambda=2.43(10)^{-12} m (1-cos(180\°)) (2)

\Delta \lambda=4.86(10)^{-12}m (3)  This is the shift in wavelength

Use Kepler's third law to find the planet's average distance (semimajor axis) from its star. (Hint: Because the mass of the star
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Explanation: The planet average distance = 42300km

Kepler's 3rd Law also known as the Harmonic Law states that;

for each planet orbitting the sun, its side real period squared divided by the cube of the semi-major axis of the orbit is a constant.

A planet, mass m, orbits the sun, mass M, in a circle of radius r and a period t. The net force on the planet is a centripetal force, and is caused the force of gravity between the sun and the planet.

Block 1, of mass m1 = 2.70 kg , moves along a frictionless air track with speed v1 = 27.0 m/s . It collides with block 2, of mas
ki77a [65]

Answer:

a) Block 1 = 72.9kgm/s

Block 2 = 0kgm/s

b) vf = 1.31m/s

c) ∆KE = 936.36Joules

Explanation:

a) Momentum = mass× velocity

For block 1:

Momentum = 2.7×27

= 72.9kgm/s

For block 2:

Momentum = 53(0) (body is initially at rest)

= 0kgm/s

b) Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses of the block

u1 and u2 are their initial velocity

v is the common velocity

Given m1 = 2.7kg, u1 = 27m/s, m2 = 53kg, u2 = 0m/s (body at rest)

2.7(27)+53(0) = (2.7+53)v

72.9 = 55.7v

V = 72.9/55.7

Vf = 1.31m/s

c) kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

Kinetic energy of block 1 = 1/2×2.7(27)²

= 984.15Joules

Kinetic energy of block 2 before collision = 0kgm/s

Total KE before collision = 984.15Joules

Kinetic energy after collision = 1/2(2.7+53)1.31²

= 1/2×55.7×1.31²

= 47.79Joules

∆KE = 984.15-47.79

∆KE = 936.36Joules
