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.

What is the relationship between pho Thanh energy and the color of light
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Red photons have the least amount of energy

Explanation:

The relationship between the photon energy and the color of light is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

E is the energy

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength (which determines the color of light)

As we see from the equation, energy and wavelength are inversely proportional: this means that the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy, and viceversa.

Among the colors in the visible light spectrum, red is the color with longest wavelength (620-750 nm) and violet is the color with shortest wavelength (380-450 nm). This means that red photons have the least amount of energy, while violet photons have the greatest amount of energy.

So the correct choice is

Red photons have the least amount of energy

What can be concluded about the atom from knowing that oxygen-18 has an atomic number of 8? A) An oxygen atom that includes 8 ba
anyanavicka [17]
B)

If it is known that the atomic number is 8, we know that the electrons are also 8. Since the atomic mass (O18) is 18, the neutrons are 18-8=10. Option B is the correct answer. 

Hope I helped :)

What is the net force of an object with a mass of 90.0 and accelerating at 3.0 m/s
Ksivusya [100]

The net force is 270 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law, which states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have

m = 90.0 kg

a=3.0 m/s^2

Substituting, we find the net force on the object:

F=(90.0)(3.0)=270 N
