Answer:

-2200 N

Explanation:

The change in momentum of Sarah is equal to the impulse, which is the product between the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah and the time during which the force is applied:

\Delta p=I\\m \Delta v = F \Delta t

where

m is the mass

\Delta v is the change in velocity

F is the average force

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

In this problem:, we have:

m = 55 kg is Sarah's mass

\Delta v = 0-20 = -20 m/s  is the change in velocity

\Delta t = 0.5 s  is the duration of the collision

Solving for F, we find the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah:

F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(55)(-20)}{0.5}=-2200 N

Where the negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to that of Sarah's initial velocity.

You observe that a mass suspended by a spring takes 0.25 s to make a full oscillation. What is the frequency of this oscillation
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Frequency of oscillation, f = 4 Hz

time period, T = 0.25 s

Angular frequency, \omega = 25.13 rad/s

Given:

Time taken to make one oscillation, T = 0.25 s

Solution:

Frequency, f of oscillation is given as the reciprocal of time taken for one oscillation and is given by:

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{0.25}

Frequency of oscillation, f = 4 Hz

The period of oscillation can be defined as the time taken by the suspended mass for completion of one oscillation.

Therefore, time period, T = 0.25 s

Angular frequency of oscillation is given by:

\omega = 2\pi \times f

\omega = 2\pi \times 4

\omega = 25.13 rad/s

what are the variables in an experiment that tests the distance honey flows at different temperatures? identify the independent
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The distance that the honey flowed would be the dependent or outcome variable and the temperature of the honey would be the independent variable.

The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment. You can remember it by thinking “it depends on what you’re changing.”

The independent variable in an experiment is what is being changed. You can remember this by thinking “the Independent variable is what I as the scientist change.”

Daniel [21]

Answer:

D. are brought from the mantle to the surface in magma that hardens into komatiite.

Explanation:

Diamond :

 It is the hardest form of carbon.The atomic atoms arrange in the cubic crystal structure and this is known as diamond cubic.Another form of the diamond at room temperature is graphite.This is used for making jewelry.This is also used in the cutting process because it has high strength.

Therefore the correct option for the diamond is D.
