in 0.792 s. What are:______
a. the magnitudes of the linear impulse
b. the average total force experienced by a 70.0-kg passenger in the car during the time the car accelerates?

Answer:

a) 378Ns

b) 477.27N

Explanation:

Impulse is the defined as the product of the applied force and time taken. This is expressed according to the formula

I = Ft = m(v-u)

m is the mass = 70kg

v is the final velocity = 5.4m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

Get the impulse

I = m(v-u)

I = 70(5.4-0)

I = 70(5.4)

I = 378Ns

b) Average total force is expressed as

F = ma (Newton's second law)

F = m(v-u)/t

F = 378/0.792

F = 477.27N

Hence the average total force experienced by a 70.0-kg passenger in the car during the time the car accelerates is 477.27N

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g
mr Goodwill [35]

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is

                         D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

            Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.

                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t² 

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t²

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)


Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens
to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes: 

-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .

-- They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside
the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value
of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds
to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the
surface of the Moon.
