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.

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

t=\frac{d}{s}

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s

t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}

t=3.6 \ s

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.

Medical cyclotrons need efficient sources of protons to inject into their center. In one kind of ion source, hydrogen atoms (i.e
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

r=5.278\times 10^{-4}\ m

Explanation:

Given that:

  • magnetic field intensity, B=0.07\ T
  • kinetic energy of electron, KE=1.2\ eV= 1.2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ J= 1.92\times 10^{-19}\ J
  • we have mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

<em>Now, form the mathematical expression of Kinetic Energy:</em>

KE= \frac{1}{2} m.v^2

1.92\times 10^{-19}=0.5\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times v^2

v^2=4.2198\times 10^{11}

v=6.496\times 10^6\ m.s^{-1}

<u>from the relation of magnetic and centripetal forces we have the radius as:</u>

r=\frac{m.v}{q.B}

r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 6.496\times 10^6 }{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.07}

r=5.278\times 10^{-4}\ m

Based on the principles of convection, conduction and thermal radiation, which scenario below is most similar to the following s
Ksivusya [100]

The situation (heat going through the ceiling) describes
conduction ...
heat going from one place to another by
soaking through some material.

A).  This is the one.  Heat goes from from the marshmallow
to your hand by soaking through the wire.   This is conduction too.

B).  No.  The heat in the room goes from the floor to the ceiling
because the warm air rises and carries it there.  This is convection.

C).  No.  There's nothing for the heat to soak through between
the sun and the roof, and nothing that can move from the sun
to the roof and bring the heat with it.  This is radiation.

D).  No.  Cold water sinks from the surface to the bottom because
warm water rose from the bottom to the surface, taking heat with it. 
This is convection.
