How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?

A person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision will be thrown forward because it maintains forward motion

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In Newton's law, it is stated that if the resultant force acting on an object of magnitude is zero,  it can be formulated :

\large{\boxed{\bold{\Sigma F = 0}}}

then the object tends to defend itself from its state. So for objects in a state of movement, objects tend to move forever. Likewise, for objects in a state of rest, they tend to remain forever. The tendency of objects like this is called<em> inertia </em>

The size of inertia is proportional to mass, the greater the mass of the object, the greater the inertia of the object.

In objects with mass m that move translatively, the object will maintain its linear velocity

When we are in a vehicle that moves forward, then we will still maintain a state of forwarding motion. If our vehicle stops suddenly, then we keep moving forward so we will be pushed forward. From this point, the use of a safety belt serves to hold back our movements so that there are no fatal accidents or collisions.

<u><em>The person not wearing the seat-belt during a collision may hit the dashboard of the car very hard and this injury might be fatal.</em></u>

Explanation:

The inertia of a body is a property contained by the body by virtue of its mass. Higher the mass of a body, higher will be the inertia.

According to the Newton's first law of motion i.e. law of Inertia, a body continues to be in its state of rest or motion until and unless an external force acts on the body to change its state.

When a car is moving on a road, the car is in motion and the body of the person in the car is also in the motion along with the car. Now if the car faces any collision, the car will suddenly come to rest.

But the body of the person sitting in the car continues to be in motion as there is no external force acting on the body. If the person is not wearing the seat-belt, the body moves forward and the person may hit the dashboard very hard.

The seat-belt stops the person's body to move ahead and hit the dashboard. So, the seat-belt prevents the person from injury by stopping the body.

Thus, <u><em>The person not wearing the seat-belt during a collision may hit the dashboard of the car very hard and this injury might be fatal.</em></u>

Does a neutrally charged object even have a charge?
Roman55 [17]
“Charged objects have an imbalance of charge - either more negative electrons than positive protons or vice versa. And neutral objects have a balance of charge - equal numbers of protons and electrons. The principle stated earlier for atoms can be applied to objects. Objects with more electrons than protons are charged negatively; objects with fewer electrons than protons are charged positively.

In this discussion of electrically charged versus electrically neutral objects, the neutron has been neglected. Neutrons, being electrically neutral play no role in this unit. Their presence (or absence) will have no direct bearing upon whether an object is charged or uncharged. Their role in the atom is merely to provide stability to the nucleus.”

Hope this helps a bit.

In which medium does light travel faster: one with a critical angle of 27.0° or one with a critical angle of 32.0°? Explain. (Fo
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Among those two medium, light would travel faster in the one with a reflection angle of 32^{\circ} (when light enters from the air.)

Explanation:

Let v_{1} denote the speed of light in the first medium. Let v_{\text{air}} denote the speed of light in the air. Assume that the light entered the boundary at an angle of \theta_{1} to the normal and exited with an angle of \theta_{\text{air}}. By Snell's Law, the sine of \theta_{1}\! and \theta_{\text{air}}\! would be proportional to the speed of light in the corresponding medium. In other words:

\displaystyle \frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} = \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}.

When light enters a boundary at the critical angle \theta_{c}, total internal reflection would happen. It would appear as if the angle of refraction is now 90^{\circ}. (in this case, \theta_{\text{air}} = 90^{\circ}.)

Substitute this value into the Snell's Law equation:

\begin{aligned}\frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})} \\ &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{c})}{\sin(90^{\circ})} \\ &= \sin(\theta_{c})\end{aligned}.

Rearrange to obtain an expression for the speed of light in the first medium:

v_{1} = v_{\text{air}} \cdot \sin(\theta_{1}).

The speed of light in a medium (with the speed of light slower than that in the air) would be proportional to the critical angle at the boundary between this medium and the air.

For 0 < \theta < 90^{\circ}, \sin(\theta) is monotonically increasing with respect to \theta. In other words, for \!\theta in that range, the value of \sin(\theta)\! increases as the value of \theta\! increases.

Therefore, compared to the medium in this question with \theta_{c} = 27^{\circ}, the medium with the larger critical angle \theta_{c} = 32^{\circ} would have a larger \sin(\theta_{c}). such that light would travel faster in that medium.
