Newtons first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Seat belts and air bags provide the stopping force for the crash test dummies.

Answer:

Newton law of inertia.

Explanation:

Newton first law states that if any object is in the motion or is in the state of rest then it will remain in that state till the external force is applied on that object. Inertia is the main reason of having seat belts and air bags in the car.

In this case, when seat belt trapped into the passenger than passenger experience same state of motion as car has.

When the car experience any kind of the collision then the car will stop abruptly. In this case seat belt and air bag will help in stopping the motion of passenger in the forward direction.

Therefore Newton's law of inertia is illustrated in test with seat belts, crash dummies, and air bags.

How does a pin hole camera work? And how do we see through them?

DIA [1.3K]

A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture, apinhole – effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which is known as the camera obscura effect.

The stiffness of a particular spring is 42 N/m. One end of the spring is attached to a wall. A force of 2 N is required to hold

Liula [17]

Answer:

$L_{o}=0.1224m$

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

$F_{spring}=k_{s}|s|\\F_{spring}=k_{s}(L-L_{o})\\ 2N=(42N/m)(0.17m-L_{o})\\2=7.14-42L_{o}\\-42L_{o}=2-7.14\\42L_{o}=5.14\\L_{o}=(5.14/42)\\L_{o}=0.1224m$
