When solving question that contains equations and the use mathematical computations, It is always ideal to list the parameters given.
Now, given that:
- the speed of the car which is the initial velocity (u) = 100 km/h before it hits the wall.
- after hitting the wall, the final velocity will be (v) = 0 km/h
Assumptions:
- Suppose we make an assumption that the distance travelled during the collision of the car with the brick wall (S) = 1 m
- That the car's acceleration is also constant.
∴
For a motion under constant acceleration, we can apply the kinematic equation:
where;
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
s = distance
From the above equation, making acceleration (a) the subject of the formula:
The initial velocity (u) is given in km/h, and we need to convert it to m/s as it has an effect on the unit of the acceleration.
since 1 km/h = 0.2778 m/s
100 km/h = 27.78 m/s
a = - 385.86 m/s²
Similarly, from the kinematic equation of motion, the formula showing the relation between time, acceleration and velocity is;
v = u + at
where;
v = 0
-u = at
t = 0.07 seconds
An airbag is designed in such a way as to prevent the driver from hitting on the steering wheel or other hard substance that could damage the part of the body. The use of the seat belt is to keep the driver in shape and in a balanced position against the expansion that occurred by the airbag during the collision on the brick wall.
Thus, we can conclude that the airbag must be inflated at 0.07 seconds faster before the collision to effectively protect the driver.

Answer:
v2 = 27.3m/s
Explanation:
Assuming forward as positive.
Mass = m1 = 64kg
Let v be the common velocity of the student and the skateboard.
mass of skateboard = m2 = 5.94kg
v = 1.4m/s
Since the skateboard and the student are initially moving together at the same velocity their momentum together is
(m1 + m2)v
Let the final velocity of the student be v1 and the final velocity of the skateboard be v2
v1 = – 1.0m/s (falls backwards that's why the velocity is negative since we are assuming forward as positive)
Then from conservation of momentum, momentum before is equal to momentum after.
(m1 + m2)v = m1v1 + m2v2
m2v2= (m1 + m2)v – m1v1
v2 = ( (m1 + m2)v – m1v1)/m2
v2 = ( (64 + 5.94)×1.4 – 64×(-1.0))/5.94
v2 = ( (64 + 5.94)×1.4 + 64×1.0)/5.94
v2 = 27.3m/s
Answer:
The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection.
Answer a would be correct since velocity is a vector and has a magnitude and a direction. In this case v₁ = - v₂.
Answer:
(a) P = 459.055 N.
(b) the refrigerator tips.
Explanation:
Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.
When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).
⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).
⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N
so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.
so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N
And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.
