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
Anna007 [38]

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

Heating a metal from room temperature to pouring temperature in a casting operation depends on all of the following properties e
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

(e) thermal expansion

Explanation:

The density, the heat of fusion and the melting temperature of the metal are determining characteristics to take into account to raise the temperature of the metal from room temperature to the melting temperature. Since they will determine the following:

Density: is the relationship between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies in outer space.

Heat of fusion: The enthalpy of fusion or heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed to make a mole of an element that is at its melting point pass from the solid state to the liquid, at constant pressure.

Melting temperature is defined as the temperature at which the phase transition from the solid state to the liquid occurs at normal atmospheric pressure.

While the dilution of metals will only have an influence on the volume it will occupy but not on the heating process

Two small objects each with a net charge of +Q exert a force of magnitude F on each other. We replace one of the objects with an
Alona [7]

Answer:

F'= 4F/9

Explanation:

Two small objects each with a net charge of +Q exert a force of magnitude F on each other. If r is the distance between them, then the force is given by :

F=\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2} ...(1)

Now, if one of the objects with another whose net charge is + 4Q is replaced and also the distance between +Q and +4Q charges is increased 3 times as far apart as they were. New force is given by :

F'=\dfrac{kQ\times 4Q}{(3r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{4kQ^2}{9r^2}.....(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}}{\dfrac{4kQ^2}{9r^2}}\\\\\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}\times \dfrac{9r^2}{4kQ^2}\\\\\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\F'=\dfrac{4F}{9}

Hence, the correct option is (d) i.e. " 4F/9"

Who’s has bigger cross sectional area capillaries or aorta?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Even though the cross-sectional area of each capillary is extremely small compared to that of the large aorta, the total cross-sectional area of all the capillaries added together is about 1,300 times greater than the cross-sectional area of the aorta because there are so many capillaries
