A 73-kg person in a moving car stops during a car collision in a distance of 0.80 m . The stopping force that the air bag exerts
fredd [130]

Answer:

 v₀ = 13.24 m / s

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law to find the average acceleration during the crash

       F = m a

.       a = F / m

       a = 8000/73

       a = 109.59 m / s²

Now we can use the kinematic equations to find the initial velocity, since when the velocity stops it is zero (v = 0)

       v² = v₀² - 2 a x

       v₀² = 2 a x

       v₀ = √  2 a x

       v₀ = √ (2 109.59 0.80)

       v₀ = 13.24 m / s

Am radio signals are broadcast at frequencies between 550 khz and 1600 khz and travel 2.99792 × 108 m/s. What is the shortest am
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

187.37 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where

c is the speed of light

f is the frequency

We see that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency: this means that the shortest am wavelength will occur at the highest am frequency, which is

f=1600 kHz = 1600 \cdot 10^3 Hz

And substituting also the speed of light

c=2.99792 \cdot 10^8 m/s

We find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{2.99792 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1600\cdot 10^3 Hz}=187.37 m

An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of g by timing pulses traveling down a wire which has a large o
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

2.56 m/s²

Explanation:

A standing wave is produced in the wire, its frequency f = n/2l√(T/μ). For the fundamental frequency, n = 1.

f = 1/2l√(T/μ)

where l = length of wire = 1.60 m, T₁ = tension in wire = weight of object = m₁g (neglecting wires mass), m₁ = mass of object = 3.00 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity on the small planet, μ = linear density of wire = m₀/l , m₀= mass of wire = 4.30 g = 0.0043 kg and f = 1/T where T = period of pulse = 59.9 ms = 0.0599 s

f = 1/2l√(T₀/μ) = 1/T ⇒ T₁ = 4l²μ/T²

m₁g = 4l²μ/T²

g = 4l²μ/m₁T² = 4l²m₀/l/m₁T² = 4lm₀/m₁T²

g = 4lm₀/m₁T² = 4 × 1.60 × 0.0043/(3.00 × 0.0599²) = 2.56 m/s²

Which statement describes why energy is released in a nuclear fusion reaction based on mass-energy equivalence? For large nuclei
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When two or more small nuclei combine together to form a larger nuclei then this process is known as nuclear reaction.

The smaller is an atom, the more energy it requires to release an electron. This energy is known as binding energy.

Thus, when two small nuclei fuse together then there will be more binding energy as compared to when two large nuclei fuse together.

For example, fusion of two hydrogen atoms release more energy then one helium atom, and upon binding excess energy is released into the space.

Hence, we can conclude that energy is released in a nuclear fusion reaction based on mass-energy equivalence because for small nuclei, the binding energy of the lighter nuclei is greater than the binding energy of the heavier nucleus.
