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.

in an exothermic chemical reaction the energy gained by the surroundings must be _______ the energy lost by the reaction
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

In an exothermic reaction the energy gained by the surroundings must be <u>equal to</u> the energy lost by the reaction.

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions occur by the loss of energy in the form of heat to the surroundings (apparatus and the system).

The heat gained can be quantitatively analysed and measured  provided no product escapes the system and it is numerically equal to the amount of heat lost by the reaction.

How does Newton's third law explain how a rocket is launched upward?

 An ultrasound pulse used in medical imaging has a frequency of 5 MHz and a pulse width of 0.5 us. Ap- proximately how many osci
podryga [215]

At the frequency of 5 MHz, the period of the oscillations is 1/5meg. That's a period of 1/5 microsecond.

There are 5 full cycles in one full microsecond, and there are 2.5 full cycles in a 0.5 us pulse.

You'll have to decide for yourself how damped a pulse of 2.5 cycles is, because the parameters of the definition are corrupted in the question.

If you lose control of your vehicle and collide with a fixed object, such as a tree, at 60 m.p.h., the force of impact is the sa
My name is Ann [436]
You can compare the velocity of the car, 60 mph, with the velocity that a mass would acquire when falls from certain height.

First, convert 60 mph to m/s:

60 miles/h * 1.60 km/mile * 1000 m/km * 1h/3600s = 26.67 m/s

Second, calculate from what height a body in free fall reachs 26.67 m/s velocity when hits the floor.

free fall => Vf^2 = 2g*H => H = Vf^2 / (2g)

H = (26.67m/s)^2 / (2*9.8 m/s) = 36.2 m

If you consider that the height between the floors of a building is approximately 3.6 m, you get 36.2 m / 3.6 m/floor = 10 floors.

Then, you conclude that the force of impact is the same as driving you vehicle off a 10 story building.
