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

Physics

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.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

C)The Same

Explanation:

Kinematics equation:

y=v_{oy}*t+1/2*g*t^2

for both cases the initial velocity in the axis Y is the same, equal a zero.

So the relation between the height ant temps is the same for both cases (the horizontal velocity does not play a role)

Calculate the change in entropy that occurs in the system when 3.10 mole of isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) melts at its melting point
ozzi

Answer:

3.10 mole of C3H8O change in entropy is 89.54 J/K

Explanation:

Given data

mole = 3.10 moles

temperature = -89.5∘C = -89 + 273 = 183.5 K

ΔH∘fus = 5.37 kJ/mol =  5.3 ×10^3 J/mol

to find out

change in entropy

solution

we know change in entropy is ΔH∘fus / melting point

put these value so we get change in entropy that is

change in entropy 5.3 ×10^3 / 183.5

change in entropy is 28.88 J/mol-K

so we say 1 mole of C3H8O change in entropy is 28.88 J/mol-K

and for the  3.10 mole of C3H8O change in entropy is 3.10 ×28.88  J/K

3.10 mole of C3H8O change in entropy is 89.54 J/K

Lee pushes horizontally with a force of 75 n on a 36 kg mass for 10 m across a floor. calculate the amount of work lee did. answ
svlad2 [7]
To find work, you use the equation: W = Force X Distance X Cos (0 degrees)
Following the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy cannot be destroyed nor created.

So you would do 75 N x 10m x Cos (0 degrees)= 750 J
