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]2 years ago

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.

Unpolarized light with an average intensity of 845 W/m2 moves along the x-axis when it enters a Polarizer A with a vertical tran
horsena [70]

Answer:

θ = 36.2º

Explanation:

When light passes through a polarizer it becomes polarized and if it then passes through a second polarizer, it must comply with Malus's law

         I = I₀ cos² tea

The non-polarized light between the first polarized of this leaves half the intensity, with vertical polarization

          I₁ = I₀ / 2

          I₁ = 845/2

          I₁ = 422.5 W / m²

In this case, the incident light in the second polarizer has an intensity of I₁ = 422.5 W / m² and the light that passes through the polarizer has a value of

I = 275 W / m ²

      Cos² θ = I / I₁

      Cos θ = √ I / I₁

      Cos θ = √ (275 / 422.5)

     Cos θ = 0.80678

     θ = cos⁻¹ 0.80678

     θ = 36.2º

This is the angle between the two polarizers

A 70 kg student stands on top of a 5.0 m platform diving board . how much gravitational potential energy does the student have?
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a. P.E = 3430Joules.

b. Workdone = 3430Nm

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 70kg

Distance = 5m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

To find the potential energy;

Potential energy = mgh

P.E = 70*9.8*5

<em>P.E = 3430J</em>

b. To find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

But force = mass * acceleration

Force = 70*9.8

Force = 686 Newton.

Workdone = 686 * 5

<em>Workdone = 3430Nm</em>
