6 mph/s


Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of SI units, dividing the meter per second [m/s] by the second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared .

A student's life was saved in an automobile accident because an airbag expanded in front of his head. If the car had not been eq
dexar [7]

Answer:    

Compared to windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force  

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as change in momentum of the object when it is acted upon by a force during interval of time

<em>Impulse = Impulsive force *time</em>

I = F*Δt

If the object should be bought to rest from certain velocity there should be change in momentum. If the duration in which the momentum is increased then there would be less force applied and hence less damage.

Airbags are used to reduce the force experience by the people when they are met with accident by extending the time required to stop the momentum.

During the collision, the passenger is carried towards the<em> windshield</em> and if they are stopped by collision with wind shield the force will be larger and more damage.But if they are hit with airbag then the force will be less due to increased time.

The change is momentum will be the same with or without momentum but its the time that decides the impact of force.By making it longer the force become less.

<em>Thus compared to the windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force.</em>

A ball rolls for 8 seconds and travels 24 meters. How fast was it traveling?
belka [17]

Answer:

The speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The time period of the ball, t = 8 s

The distance the ball rolled, d = 24 m

The velocity of an object is defined as the object's displacement to the time taken. The formula for the velocity is,

                              v = d / t      m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                               v = 24 / 8

                                  = 3 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Solve -7= sqrt 2x-9​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

if it was -7 = the square root of both 2x-9 together, it would be false.

if it was square root of just 2x in the equation, the answer is:

x = 2

°°°°°°°°°

-7 = √2x - 9

-√2x = -9 + 7

√-2x = -2

√2x = 2

2x = 4

x = 2
