Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the person, m = 72.5 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 20.5 m/s

(a) Let F_x is the horizontal component of the average force, in newtons, on the person if he is stopped by a padded dashboard that compresses an average of 1.15 cm, x = 0.0115 m and v = 0

Using the second law of motion to find it as:

F_x=m\times a

Using the third equation of kinematics to find a.

F_x=m\times \dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

F_x=-m\times \dfrac{u^2}{2s}

F_x=-72.5\times \dfrac{(20.5)^2}{2\times 0.0115}

F_x=-1.32\times 10^6\ N

(b) Here, x = 13.5 cm = 0.135 m

F_x=-m\times \dfrac{u^2}{2s}

F_x=-72.5\times \dfrac{(20.5)^2}{2\times 0.135}

F_x=-1.12\times 10^5\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

A)  f_{dashboard} = 1324701 N

B)  f_{airbag} = 112844.90 N

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of person = 72.5 kg

velocity of person = 20.5 m/s

we know that from newton's 2nd law

f = ma

f = m \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s}

final velocity is v = 0

f = - \frac{mu^2}{2s}

f = \frac{72.5\times 20.5^2}{2\times 1.15\times 10^{-2}}

f = 1324701 N

B)

f_{airbag} = f = \frac{72.5\times 20.5^2}{2\times 1.3.5\times 10^{-2}}

f_{airbag} = 112844.90 N

<h3>Discuss Social Problem in the world today. What do you think should be done to help solve this social problem?</h3>

There are many social problems in the world today, but the biggest social problems which very common in our today's society is; unemployment, migration, crime, delinquency, drug abuse, child abuse, crime against women, crime against children, discrimination on the basis of Caste, class & religion , corruption, family and health problems, education, political, economic, cultural and environment issues. The most common social problem which is related with the health is smoking, drinking alcohols, heroin, snuph, theft and many more problems.

We can fix all the above problems by making rules and regulations which should be implement on the peoples.

So we can conclude that: The most common Social Problems are using of drugs, child abuse, crime, corruption and many more problems.

A 2.40 μC charge is subject to a 3.00 mN force due to an Electric Field. What is the magnitude of the Electric Field at the loca
Bezzdna [24]
<h2>Electric field at the location of the charge is 1250 N/C</h2>

Explanation:

Electric field is the ratio of force and charge.

Force, F = 3.00 mN = 3 x 10⁻³ N

Charge, q = 2.40 μC = 2.40 x 10⁻⁶ C

We have

                 E=\frac{F}{q}\\\\E=\frac{3\times 10^{-3}}{2.40\times 10^{-6}}\\\\E=1250N/C

Electric field at the location of the charge is 1250 N/C

The motion map shows an object’s position and velocity at given times. A long black arrow right labeled x. Above that are 5 gree
Digiron [165]

The map be changed <u>by adding vectors that are all the same length and placing them above the current top row of vectors</u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A motion map represents the position, velocity, or acceleration of an object at various time readings

a small point or dot describes the position of the object. the object's velocity / acceleration is represented by an arrow / vector.

In this motion map, The arrows (vectors) are all the same length (same speed) and point in the same direction (direction to the right) for t = 0 (origin) to t = 4s

At t = 5s, the object has slowed down, and at t = 7s and 8s the object stops

At t = 9s-11 s, the object accelerates to the left

So the position of the next moving object will be above the previous movement, and the length of the same vector shows the same speed / acceleration

So that motion maps show constant acceleration after the object changes direction, it can be done by adding vectors that are all the same length and placing them above the current top row of vectors

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. how much time does it ta
Yuri [45]

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. The time taken by the car will be 4 seconds. the correct answer is option(c).

When acceleration is constant, the rate of change in velocity is also constant. In the absence of any acceleration, velocity remains constant. When acceleration is positive, velocity becomes more significant.

Let a denote acceleration, u denote initial velocity, v denote final velocity, and t denote time.

The equation of motion is stated as,

v = u + at

v² = u² + 2as

A car travels across a distance of 60.0 m while accelerating constantly from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s.

Then the time taken by the car will be,

u = 12 m/s

v = 18 m/s

s = 60 m

Put these in the equation v² = u² + 2as.

18² = 12² + 2 x a x 60

a = 1.5

Then the time will be

18 = 12 + 1.5t

1.5t = 6

t = 4 seconds

Hence, the time taken is 4 s.

The complete question is:

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. How much time does it take?

1.00 s

2.50 s

4.00 s

4.50 s
