Why do seat belts help protect passengers when a car stops quickly? Explain your answer in terms of forces and motions.

Physics
1 answer:
Mamont248 [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

If the driver is wearing a seat belt, the seat belt rather than the windshield applies the unbalanced force that stops the driver's forward motion. The force from the seat belt is applied over a longer time, so the force causes less damage.

How much heat is required to heat 2 kg of water from 25°C to 40°C?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

126000 J

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁).................. Equation 1

Where Q = Amount of heat, c = specifc heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = Initial temperature, t₂ = Final temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 2 kg, t₁ = 25°C, t₂ = 40°C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute these value into equation 1

Q = 2×4200(40-25)

Q = 2×4200×15

Q = 126000 J

A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 31.0 m/s and lands 156.3 m from the base of a ramp how high is th
BartSMP [9]

<u>Answer:</u>

The height of ramp = 124.694 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using second equation of motion,

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

From the question,

u = 31 m/s; s = 156.3 m, a=0

substituting values

156.3 = 31\times t + 0

t = \frac{156.3}{31 }

= 5.042 s

Similary, for the case of landing

t = 5.042 s; initial velocity, u =0

acceleration = acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting in h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times (5.042)^2

h = 124.694 m

So height of ramp = 124.694 m

What is the magnitude of the momentum change of two gallons of water (inertia about 7.3 kg ) as it comes to a stop in a bathtub
aliya0001 [1]

We know that the change in momentum is equals to the product of force and time that is impulse (  F \times t). Therefore, we need to determine the value of that the water is in air by using the second equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Here, u is initial velocity which is zero.

s= \frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }.

Thus, impulse

= F \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }

From Newton`s second law,

F =mg

Therefore, impulse

= mg \times \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} } = m \sqrt{2gs}

Given,  m = 7.3 kg and s = 2.0 m

Substituting these values, we get

Change in momentum = impulse  

= 7.3 \ kg \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 2.0 \ m } = 45 .7 \ Ns.

Two tuning forks produce sounds of wavelengths of 3.4 meters and 3.3 meters.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

wavelength, λ = 3.4 m

wavelength, λ' = 3.3 m

Speed, v = 340 m/s

f = v / λ = 340 / 3.4 = 100 Hz

f' = v / λ' = 340 / 3.3 = 103.03 Hz

Frequency of beat, n = f' - f = 103.03 - 100 = 3.03 Hz
