A 50 kilogram woman wearing a seatbelt is traveling in a car that is moving with a velocity of +10 meters per second. In an emer
ra1l [238]

Answer:

the answer is A.) -1 * 10^3[N]

Explanation:

The solution consists of two steps, the first step is using the following kinematic equation:

v=v_{i} +a*t\\where:\\v=final velocity [m/s]\\v_{i}=initial velocity [m/s]\\a=acceleration[m/^2]\\t=time[s]\\

The initial velocity is 10 [m/s], and the final velocity is zero because the car stops in 0.5[s].

Replacing:

0=10+a*(0.5)\\a=-20[m/s^2]

Now in the second part, we need to use the second law of Newton, this law relates the forces with the acceleration of a body.

In the moment when the car stops suddenly the driver will feel the force of the seatbelt acting in the opposite direction of the movement.

F=m*a\\F=50[kg]*(-20[m/s^2])\\units\[kg]*[m/s^2]=[N]\\F=-1000[N] or -1*10^{3} [N]

The minus sign means that the force is acting in the opposite direction of the movement.

A motorcycle traveling south reaches a speed of 38.0 m/s. It then begins uniform negative acceleration and comes to rest after 7
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: 30.641

Explanation: If you get the ave which is 38.0 then the vi which is 7.359

38.0-7.359=30.641/0.0 which is 30.641

A box falls off of a tailgate and slides along the street for a distance of 62.5 m. Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2. At what
Mila [183]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

This question can be solved using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the distance covered while moving from initial to final velocity

a is the acceleration

_____________________________________________

Given

box moved for distance of 62.5 m

Friction slows the box at –5.0 m/s2----> this statement means that there is deceleration , speed of truck decreases by 5 m/s in every second until the box comes to rest. Friction causes this deceleration.

thus in this problem

a = -5.0 m/s2

V = 0   as body came to rest due to friction deceleration

u the initial velocity we have to find

the initial velocity of box will be the same as speed of truck, as the box was in the truck and hence box will pick the speed of truck.

so if we find speed of box, we will be able get sped of truck as well.

using equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\0^2 = u^2 + 2*-5* 62.5\\0 = u^2 - 625\\u^2 = 625\\\sqrt{u^2} = \sqrt{625} \\u = 25

Thus, initial speed with the truck was travelling was 25 m/s.

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because
maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two  light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as E = mc^{2} where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

                                                      H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                      H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy

                                                      He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                       -----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                        4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

Here e_{+1} ^{0} is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e 10^{6} K

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.
