A car company is testing seatbelts using crash test dummies. The company finds that when cars come to a sudden stop, the crash t

est dummies' bodies continue to move forward. The seat belt keeps the crash test dummies from hitting the back of the seat in front of them. Why do the crash test dummies' bodies continue to move forward even though the car stopped?

Answer: Because of Inertia

Explanation: According to Newton first law, that a body in a linear motion will continue to be in motion except an external for act on it

But also, a body in motion will always like to continue in motion and have a reluctance tendency to stop because of inertia.

the crash test dummies' bodies will continue to move forward even though the car stopped because of inertia.

Find its moment of inertia about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through the midpoint of the line connecting its
antoniya [11.8K]

A) Moment of inertia about an axis passing through the point where the two segments meet : $I_A=\frac{1}{12} M L^2$

B) Moment of inertia passing through the point where the midpoint of the line connects to its two ends: $I x=\frac{1}{3} M L^2$

What is Moment of inertia?

The term "moment of inertia" refers to a physical quantity that quantifies a body's resistance to having its speed of rotation along an axis changed by the application of a torque (turning force). The axis might be internal or exterior, fixed or not.

A) The moment of inertia about an axis passing through the point where the two segments meet is $I_A=\frac{1}{12} M L^2$given that the rod is bent at the center and distance from all the points to the axis remains the same, the moment of inertia about the center will remain the same.

B) Determine the moment of inertia about an axis passing through the point midpoint of the line which connects the two ends

First step: determine the distance between the ends ( d )

After applying Pythagoras theorem$\mathrm{d}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} L$

Next step : determine distance between the two axis $(\mathrm{x})$

After applying Pythagoras theorem

\mathrm{x}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} L$$

Final step : Calculate the value of $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{x}}$

applying Parallel Axis Theorem

$$I_x=I_8+M x^2$$

$$\begin{aligned}& =\frac{1}{12} M L^2+\frac{1}{4} M L^2 \\& \therefore \quad I x=\frac{1}{3} M L^2 \\&\end{aligned}$$

Hence we can conclude that Moment of inertia about an axis passing through the point where the two segments meet: $I_A=\frac{1}{12} M L^2$, Moment of inertia passing through the point where the midpoint of the line connects its two ends: $I x=\frac{1}{3} M L^2$

Two subway stops are separated by 1210 m. If a subway train accelerates at 1.30 m/s2 from rest through the first half of the dis
solong [7]

Answer:

Part 1) Time of travel equals 61 seconds

Part 2) Maximum speed equals 39.66 m/s.

Explanation:

The final speed of the train when it completes half of it's journey is given by third equation of kinematics as

v^{2}=u^2+2as

where

'v' is the final speed

'u' is initial speed

'a' is acceleration of the body

's' is the distance covered

Applying the given values we get

v^2=0+2\times 1.30\times \frac{1210}{2}\\\\v^{2}=1573\\\\\therefore v=39.66m/s

Now the time taken to attain the above velocity can be calculated by the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at\\\\v=0+1.30\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{39.66}{1.30}=30.51seconds

Since the deceleration is same as acceleration hence the time to stop in the same distance shall be equal to the time taken to accelerate the first half of distance

Thus total time of journey equalsT=2\times 30.51\approx61seconds

Part b)

the maximum speed is reached at the point when the train ends it's acceleration thus the maximum speed reached by the train equals 39.66m/s

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.
