A child is riding in a child-restraint chair, securely fastened to the seat of a car. Assume the car has speed 47 km/h when it h

its a tree and is brought to rest in 0.20 s.The mass of the child is 19 kg.Assuming constant deceleration during the collision, estimate the net horizontal force that the straps of the restraint chair exert on the child to hold her in the chair.

Answer: F = 1235 N

Explanation: Newton's Second Law of Motion describes the effect of mass and net force upon acceleration: F_{net}=m.a

Acceleration is the change of velocity in a period of time: a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

Velocity of the car is in km/h. Transforming it in m/s:

v=\frac{47.10^{3}}{36.10^{2}}

v = 13 m/s

At the moment the car decelerates, acceleration is

a=\frac{13}{0.2}

a = 65 m/s²

Then, force will be

F_{net}=19(65)

F_{net} = 1235 N

The horizontal net force the straps of the restraint chair exerted on the child to hold her is 1235 newtons.

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 23.5 m above water wit
Elodia [21]

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as

\Delta KE = \Delta PE

\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2} mv_0^2 = mgh_2-mgh_1

Where,

m = mass

v_{f,i} = initial and final velocity

g = Gravity

h = height

As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:

\frac{1}{2}v_f^2-\frac{1}{2} v_0^2 = gh_2

\frac{1}{2} (v_f^2-v_0^2) = gh_2

(v_f^2-v_0^2) = 2gh_2

v_f = \sqrt{2gh_2+v_0^2}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(23.5)+13.6^2}

v_f = 25.4m/s

When a car turns a corner on a level road, which force provides the necessary centripetal acceleration?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The frictional force between the tire made with the road

Explanation:

This car on level ground is moving away and turning to the left. The centripetal force causing the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the tires and the road. A minimum coefficient of friction is needed, or the car will move in a larger-radius curve and leave the roadway.

Use the drop-down menus to answer each question. How do objects with the same charge interact? How do objects with opposite char
ValentinkaMS [17]

It's very tough to use the drop-down menus for this.  I'll just do the best I can without them.

-- Objects with the same charge repel each other with electrostatic force, and attract each other with gravity.  You can ignore the gravity because the electrostatic force is so much stronger.

-- Objects with opposite charge attract each other with electrostatic force, and also attract each other with gravity.  You can ignore the gravity because the electrostatic force is so much stronger.

-- Objects with no charge have no electrostatic force between them, and they only attract each other with gravity.

The temperature of a quantity of an ideal gas is a. one measure of its ability to transfer thermal energy to another body. b. pr
solong [7]

Answer:

d. correctly described by all the statements above.

Explanation:

Kinetic molecular theory of gases states that gas particles exhibit a perfectly elastic collision and are constantly in motion.

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on temperature.

This ultimately implies that, the average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of an ideal gas. Thus, an increase in the average kinetic energy of gas particles would cause an increase in the absolute temperature of an ideal gas.

Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object. It is measured with a thermometer and its units are Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K) and Fahrenheit (°F).

Generally, the temperature of a quantity of an ideal gas is;

a. a measure of the ability of an ideal gas to transfer thermal energy to another body.

b. the average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of an ideal gas

c. proportional to the internal energy of the gas.
