A car moving at 10 m/s crashes into a large bush and stops in 1.3 m. Using the Work-Energy theorem, calculate the average force

the seat belt exerts on a passenger in the car to bring him to a halt. The mass of the passenger is 70 kg. How long does this take?

Answer:

The magnitude of the average force the seat belt exerts on the passenger is 2692.3 N.

It takes 0.26 s to bring the passenger in the car to a halt.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The negative work (W) needed to bring a moving object to stop is equal to its kinetic energy (KE):

W = KE

F · s = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

F = applied force on the passenger.

s = displacement of the passenger.

m = mass of the passenger.

v = velocity of the passenger.

Solving the equation for F:

F = 1/2 · m · v² / s

Replacing with the data:

F = 1/2 · 70 kg · (10 m/s)² / 1.3 m

F = 2692.3 N

The magnitude of the average force the seat belt exerts on the passenger is 2692.3 N.

According to the second law of Newton:

F = m · a

Where "a" is the acceleration of the passenger.

We also know from kinematics that the velocity of an object can ve calculated as follows:

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

v = velocity of the passenger at time t.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

When the passenger stops, its velocity is zero. So replacing a = F/m, let´s solve the equation for the time it takes the passenger to stop:

v = v0 + a · t

0 = 10 m/s + (-2692.3 N/ 70 kg) · t

-10 m/s / (-2692.3 N/ 70 kg)  = t

t =0.26 s

It takes 0.26 s to bring the passenger in the car to a halt.

Paladinen [302]

D = distance between th two trains at the start of the motion = 100 miles

V = speed of the faster train towards slower train = 60 mph

v = speed of the slower train towards faster train = 40 mph

t = time taken by the two trains to collide = ?

time taken by the two trains to collide is given as

t = D/(V + v)

t = 100/(60 + 40) = 1 h

v' = speed of the bird = 90 mph

d = distance traveled by the bird

distance traveled by the bird is given as

d = v' t

d = 90 x 1

d = 90 miles

can you help me create a sketch of two different objects with one that has a greater density than the other?
sergey [27]

I don't know how good you are at sketching ... I'm terrible. 
But you can put the point across in a dramatic way if you
can sketch a bowling ball and a basketball ... you'll need
to clearly identify them with the markings you sketch on
each ball. 

They're the same shape and nearly the same size, but
there's a huge difference in their densities.

Consider a well-insulated rigid container with two chambers separated by a membrane. The total volume is 5.0 cubic meters. The f
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The Entropy generated by the steam = 2.821 kJ/K

Explanation:

Total volume of container = 5m³

Heat transfer does not exist between system and surrounding, dQ = 0

At the first chamber, temperature of water at saturated liquid is 300°C

From the steam table:

Specific enthalpy of saturated liquid at 300°C , h_{f} = 1344.8 kJ/kg

Specific internal energy of saturated liquid at 300°C, U_{f1} =  1332.7 kJ/kg

For closed system, the first law of thermodynamics state that:

dQ = dw + dU..................(1)

work done for free expansion, dw =0

0 = 0 + dU

dU = 0 , i.e. U₁ = U₂

At the second chamber,

The final pressure, P₂ = 50 kPa

From the steam table, at P₂ = 50 kPa,  U_{f2} = 340.49 kJ/kg

(U_{fg} )_{2} =  2142.7 kJ/kg

Let the dryness fraction at the second chamber = x

U_{2} = U_{f2} + U_{fg2}

U_{2} = 340.49 + x2140.7Since U₁ = U₂

1332.7 = 340.49 + x2140.7

Dryness fraction, x = 0.463

From steam table, the specific volume is, u_{f2} = 0.00103 m^{3} /kg\\

u_{2} = u_{f2} + xu_{fg2}

u_{2} = 0.00103 + 0.463(3.2393)\\u_{2} = 1.5 m^{3} /kg\\

u_{2} = \frac{v_{2} }{m_{2} }

V₂ = 5 m³

1.5 = 5/m₂

m₂ = 3.33 kg

At 300°C S_{1} = S_{f} = 3.2548 kJ/kg-k\\

S_{2} = S_{f2} + xS_{fg2}

From the steam table,

S_{f2} = 1.0912 kJ/kg-k\\S_{fg2} = 6.5019 kJ/kg-k\\S_{2} = 1.0912 + 0.463(6.5019)\\S_{2} = 4.102 kJ/kg-k

Therefore the entropy generated will be :

Entropy = mass* (S₂ - S₁)

Entropy = 3.33* (4.102 - 3.2548)

Entropy = 2.821 kJ/K
