A man claims that he can hold onto a 16.0-kg child in a head-on collision as long as he has his seat belt on. Consider this man

in a collision in which he is in one of two identical cars each traveling toward the other at 59.0 mi/h relative to the ground. The car in which he rides is brought to rest in 0.05 s.
Find the magnitude of the average force needed to hold onto the child.

Answer:

F = -8440.12 N

the magnitude of the average force needed to hold onto the child is 8440.12 N

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of child m = 16 kg

Speed of each car v = 59.0 mi/h = 26.37536 m/s

Time t = 0.05s

Applying the impulse momentum equation;

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = ∆(mv)

F = ∆(mv)/t

F = m(∆v)/t

Where;

F = force

t = time

m = mass

v = velocity

Since the final speed of the car is zero(at rest) then;

∆v = 0 - v = -26.37536 m/s

Substituting the given values;

F = 16×-26.37536/0.05

F = -8440.1152 N

F = -8440.12 N

the magnitude of the average force needed to hold onto the child is 8440.12 N

swimmers at a water park have a choice of two frictionless water slides as shown in the figure. although both slides drop over t
LuckyWell [14K]
If swimmers had a choice of the water slides shown in this figure,
they would all go home dry, since there is no figure.  I'll have to try to
answer this question based on only the words in the text, augmented
only by my training, education, life experience, and human logic.

-- Both slides are frictionless.  So no energy is lost as a swimsuit
scrapes along the track, and the swimmer's kinetic energy at the
bottom is equal to the potential energy he had at the top.

-- Both slides start from the same height.  So the same swimmer
has the same potential energy at the top of either one, and therefore
the same kinetic energy at the bottom of either one.

-- So the difference in the speeds of two different swimmers
on the slides depends only on the difference in the swimmers'
mass, and is not influenced by the shape or length of the slides
(as long as the slides remain frictionless).

If both swimmers have the same mass, then  v₁ = v₂ .

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 18 seconds for a distance of 390 m. Determine the acceleration o
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a=2.4\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial speed of a car, u = 0

Time, t = 18 s

Distance, d = 390 m

We need to find the acceleration of the car. Let it is a. Using the second equation of motion to find it.

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

or

d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\a=\dfrac{2d}{t^2}\\\\a=\dfrac{2\times 390}{(18)^2}\\\\a=2.4\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is 2.4\ m/s^2.

g The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positi
Arisa [49]

Answer:

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

Attractive

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms given by \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Based on the given information, the force that one atom exerts on the other is

Potential energy μ = \frac{C_6}{X_6}

Force exerted by one atom upon another

F_x = \frac{\partial U}{\partial X} = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (-\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial X}  (\frac{C_6}{X^6})

or

F_x = -\frac{6 C_6}{2^7}

As we can see that the C_6 comes in positive and constant which represents that the force is negative that means the force is attractive in nature

An isotope is a version of the same element that differs in the composition of the A) atom. B) nucleus. C) particle. Eliminate D
crimeas [40]
The correct answer is B because isotopes have different numbers of neutrons, and neutrons are located in the nucleus

Hope this helps
