Answer:
At a deceleration of 60g, or 60 times the acceleration due to gravity a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop
Explanation:
The maximum acceleration of the airbag = 60 g, and the duration of the acceleration = 36 ms or 36/1000 s or 0.036 s
To find out how far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g
we write out the equation of motion thus.
S = ut + 0.5at²
wgere
S = distance to come to complete stop
u = final velocoty = 0 m/s
a = acceleration = 60g = 60 × 9.81
t = time = 36 ms
as can be seen, the above equation calls up the given variable as a function of the required variable thus
S = 0×0.036 + 0.5×60×9.81×0.036² = 0.38 m
At 60g, a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop
No, the speed at which an object falls is not equal to the acceleration at which it falls.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
Speed is defined as how fast an object can cover a specific distance and in what time it covers. So it is measured as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Moreover, speed is a scalar quantity and acceleration is a vector quantity. So most of the times, the direction will play an important role in the varying values of speed and acceleration. Also, acceleration of an object will depend upon the force and mass of the object. Thus, speed and acceleration will not attain same value always.
Answer:
16 cm
Explanation:
Given that,
The object begins from 0 and moves 3cm towards left side followed by 7 cm towards the right and then, 6 cm towards the left side.
Let the x-axis to be the +ve and on the right side and -ve on the left
Thus, displacement would be:
= 0 -3 + 7 -6
= -2 cm
This implies that the object displaces 2cm towards the left.
While the total distance covered by the object equal to,
= 0cm + 3cm + 7cm + 6cm
= 16 cm
Thus, <u>16 cm</u> is the total distance.
