In terms of impulse and momentum, why are air bags in automobiles a good idea

Physics
1 answer:
Inga [223]3 years ago

During a car crash, the car decelerates extremely rapidly, so inertia causes you to move forward quickly. If there wasn't an airbag to slow you down, you might fly out the windshield.
The air bag increases impulse by increasing the time during which a force acts on you (impulse=force*time). This decreases your forward momentum, so you'll have a better chance of surviving.

Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.

What current flows when a 35 v potential difference is imposed across a 1.4 kω resistor?
svetlana [45]

Current  =  (voltage) / (resistance)

              =    (35 volts) / (1,400 ohms)

              =         25 milliamperes
