A 75.0-kg person is riding in a car moving at 20.0 m/s when the car runs into a bridge abutment. (a) calculate the average force

on the person if he is stopped by a padded dashboard that compresses an average of 1.00 cm. (b) calculate the average force on the person if he is stopped by an air bag that compresses an average of 15.0 c

(a) -1.5\cdot 10^6 N

First of all, we need to calculate the acceleration of the person, by using the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 -u ^2 = 2ad

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 20.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d = 1.00 cm = 0.01 m is the displacement of the person

Solving for a,

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-20.0^2}{2(0.01)}=-20000 m/s^2

And the average force on the person is given by

F=ma

with m = 75.0 kg being the mass of the person. Substituting,

F=(75)(-20000)=-1.5\cdot 10^6 N

where the negative sign means the force is opposite to the direction of motion of the person.

b) -1.0\cdot 10^5 N

In this case,

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 20.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d  = 15.00 cm = 0.15 m is the displacement of the person with the air bag

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-20.0^2}{2(0.15)}=-1333 m/s^2

So the average force on the person is

F=ma=(75)(-1333)=-1.0\cdot 10^5 N

"I want to run, to skip, and to jump" is an example of _____.
NNADVOKAT [17]
<span>The question is asking us to define the sentence ""I want to run, to skip, and to jump". This is a parallel construction, which means that the three parts ("to run", "to skip" and "to jump" are in the same kind of construction - to <verb>. It could be considered comma splice, but a comma splice would rather be the case if there were different subjects : for example in "I want to run, she wants to skip". </span>

Compare the de Broglie wavelength of an electron moving at 1.30×107 miles per hour (5.81×106 m/s) to that of a bullet moving at
lesya [120]

Answer:

electron  λ = 12.5 nm , bullet  λ = 1.11 10⁻³³ m  and golf ball  λ = 4.7 10⁻³⁴ m

Explanation:

The Broglie wave duality principle states that all matter has wave and particle properties, it is expressed by the equation

      p = h / λ

Where lam is called broglie wavelength

Let's use the definition of momentum

       p = mv

Let's calculate the wavelengths

-Electron

     mv = h /λ

     λ = h / mv

     λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ / (9.1 10⁻³¹ 5.81 10⁶)  

     λ = 1.25 10⁻¹⁰ m

     λ = 12.5 nm

This is the X-ray region

-bullet

     λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ / (1.90 10⁻³  313)

     λ = 1.11 10⁻³³ m

It is too small, only particle characteristics are observed

-Golf ball

     λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ / (4.50 10⁻² 31.3)

    λ = 4.7 10⁻³⁴ m

Too small, only particle characteristics are visible

6. How would the measurements for potential difference and current change if a 200 Ω resistor was used in Circuit 1 instead of t
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Resistance is defined as the opposition to the flow of an electric current in a circuit. This means that a higher amount of resistance tends to reduce the amount of current flowing through the resistance. The lower the current, the greater the possibility for the resistor to allow current to pass through it.  if a 200 Ω resistor was used in Circuit 1 instead of the 100 Ω resistor, then the current in the circuit will tends to increase since we are replacing the load with a lesser resistor and a smaller resistance tends to allow more current to flow through it

For the potential difference, a decrease in the resistance value will onl decrease the potential difference flowing in the circuit according to ohm's law. According to the law the pd in a circuit is directly proportional to the current which means an increase in the resistance value will cause an increase in the corresponding pd and vice versa.
