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

A 6 m long, uniform ladder leans against a frictionless wall and makes an angle of 74.3 ◦ with the floor. The ladder has a mass
olganol [36]

Answer: µ=0.205

Explanation:

The horizontal forces acting on the ladder are the friction(f) at the floor and the normal force (Fw) at the wall. For horizontal equilibrium,

f=Fw

The sum of the moments about the base of the ladder Is 0

ΣM = 0 = Fw*L*sin74.3º - (25.8kg*(L/2) + 67.08kg*0.82L)*cos74.3º*9.8m/s²

Note that it doesn't matter WHAT the length of the ladder is -- it cancels.

Solve this for Fw.

0= 0.9637FwL - (67.91L)2.652

Fw=180.1/0.9637

Fw=186.87N

f=186.81N

Since Fw=f

We know Fw, so we know f.

But f = µ*Fn

where Fn is the normal force at the floor --

Fn = (25.8 + 67.08)kg * 9.8m/s² =

910.22N

so

µ = f / Fn

186.81/910.22

µ= 0.205

Why is Earth’s North Pole a geographic north pole but a south seeking pole magnetically?
natima [27]

Answer:It is actually the South Magnetic pole

Explanation:The magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract. This fact means that the north end of a magnet in a compass is attracted to the south magnetic pole, which lies close to the geographic north pole.

Technician A says that the evacuation process will remove dirt and debris from the refrigerant system. Technician B says that th
GuDViN [60]

Answer: Technician B is right.

Explanation:

Evacuation process is used in refrigeration systems to remove moisture, air and non-profit condensable gases in order to achieve maximum function of the system.

vacuum pump is used to draw the sealed AC system into a vacuum. Evacuation of a refrigerant system also helps to maintain pressure, this is so as pulling a vacuum on the system is simply removing matter (mostly air and nitrogen) from inside the system so that the pressure inside drops below atmospheric pressure.
