Coming to the bottom of a mountain, a skier moving with speed v collides with a barrier and is brought to a stop in an amount of

time t. Over the course of the impact, the skier experienced an average net force F from the barrier. If the skier\'s initial velocity had been the same (v), but the time of impact to come to a full stop had been four times as long (4t), what would have been the average net force exerted on the skier during the collision? The average net force would have been...a) F/4b)Fc)4Fd) F/2e)2FIf the time of impact to come to a full stop had been the same (t), but the skier\'s initial velocity had been half as much (v / 2), what would have been the average net force exerted on the skier during the collision?

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse of a force is measured by force x time or F X t

Impulse also equals change in momentum or

F x t = m v₂ - m v₁

The given case is as follows

in the first case

F x t = mv - o = mv

F = mv / t

in the second case

F₁ x 4 t = mv

F₁ = 1/4 x mv /t

F₁ = F / 4

option a) is correct .

iii )

In the last case

F₂ X t = m v/2 -0

F₂ = 1/2 x mv / t

= 1/2 x F

F₂ = F/2

Option e ) is correct.

An Na ion has a charge of +1 and an O ion has a charge of –2. How many Na ions does one O ion need to balance charges
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Because Na⁺ ion lacks an electron and O²⁻ has two extra electrons extra, to balance the charge, we need 2 Na⁺ ions.
 
All ions, atoms and molecules want to get to the minimum energy state, and that state is when the ion, atom, or molecule is neutral, that's why all of them want to balance their charges.

A bulb converts 9J of energy in each second from an input of 100J of energy. Calculate efficiency of this light bulb
77julia77 [94]
Efficiency is calculated through dividing the actual mechanical advantage by the hypothetical mechanical advantage:

- the actual mechanical advantage is 9J because that's how much work the light bulb doing

- the hypo. mechanical advantage is 100J. Ideally, in a perfect world, the light bulb can convert 100J input into 100J output, but do to resistance and other factors it is not possible.

\frac{9}{100}  = .09
change the decimal to a percentage:

.09 = 9\%
the light bulb had 9% efficiency

The Earth orbits the sun with a speed of about 67000 miles per hour. If the Earth was to suddenly stop, it would
kozerog [31]

Answer: It would destroy the Earth's surface.

I remember reading this questions in What If? by Randall Munroe. Great book, I suggest you check it out. Anyway, the answer. The Earth is revolving as well as spinning on its axis at the same time. This  basically means that thee atmosphere is also spinning at the same speed. But due to the frame of reference, we don't notice anything. If the Earth suddenly stops spinning, then the atmosphere, going according to the first law of motion will still be spinning at the same speed. This would produce supersonic winds at such a scale that it will be compared to an atomic explosion. Anything not in a nuclear bunker will probably be ripped apart by the force of the wind.
