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" 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. 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. This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.

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. With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.

There are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. if a boys mass is 40kg, what is his height in pounds?

sasho [114]

The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this-

$\frac{1}{2.2}$ = $\frac{40}{x}$

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.

40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88

Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.

A bird lands on a bare copper wire carrying a current of 51

nirvana33 [79]

The resistance of the piece of wire is
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
where
$\rho = 1.68 \cdot 10^{-8}\Omega m$ is the resistivity of the copper
$L=5.1 cm=0.051 m$ is the length of the piece of wire
$A=0.13 cm^2 = 0.13 \cdot 10^{-4} m^2$ is the cross sectional area of the wire
By substituting these values, we find the value of R:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}=6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega$

Then, by using Ohm's law, we find the potential difference between the two points of the wire:
$V=IR=(51 A)(6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega )=3.4 \cdot 10^{-3} V$

When a tuning fork vibrates over an open pipe and the air in the pipe starts to vibrate, the vibrations in the tube are caused b

defon

Answer:

correct option is A. Resonance

Explanation:

solution

vibrations in the tube are caused by the Resonance because Resonance cause of sounds production in the musical instrument

As if resonance ( hollow cylindrical tube) immerse in cylinder of water and force in to vibration by tuning fork

As tines of tuning fork vibrate at natural frequency and it create sound wave that impinged up on opening of resonance tube

so correct option is A. Resonance

Q 6: A body throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the ground after 5 seconds. Find

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Taking gravity to be 9.8m/s2, The velocity is 24.5m/s2.

Taking gravity to be 10m/s2, The velocity is 25m/s2.

Explanation:

According the first formula of motion under the influence of gravity for upward motion, v=u-gt, where v=final velocity, u=initial velocity, and t= time taken.

Here the time taken for the ball to reach the maximum point is half of 5, which is 2.5 seconds.

And v is 0, since at the maximum point gravity slows down the velocity to 0.

Finding the initial velocity,

v=u-gt

0=u-10(2.5)

u=10(2.5)

u=25m/s
