Answer:

the average force exerted by seatbelts on the passenger is 5625 N.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 50 m/s

distance traveled by the car, s = 20 m

final velocity of the after coming to rest, v = 0

mass of the passenger, m = 90 kg

Determine the acceleration of the car as it hit the pile of dirt;

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 50² + (2 x 20)a

0 = 2500 + 40a

40a = -2500

a = -2500/40

a = -62.5 m/s²

The deceleration of the car is 62.5 m/s²

The force exerted on the passenger by the backward action of the car is calculated as follows;

F = ma

F = 90 x 62.5

F = 5625 N

Therefore, the average force exerted by seatbelts on the passenger is 5625 N.

Answer:

3.1 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for the cat to land.  Take down to be positive.

Given:

Δy = 0.61 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.81 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(0.61 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.81 m/s²) t²

t = 0.353 s

Now find the horizontal velocity needed to travel 1.1 m in that time.

Given:

Δx = 1.1 m

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.353 s

Find: v₀

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(1.1 m) = v₀ (0.353 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.353 s)²

v₀ = 3.1 m/s

Match the following:
joja [24]

Explanation:

1. study of conversion of heat to mechanics → thermodynamics

A branch of physical science which deals with heat and other forms of energy.

2. The Law of Conservation of Energy  → first Law of Thermodynamics

Energy cannot be created nor be destroyed. According to first law of thermodynamics total energy of the system is always constant.

3. Result of applied energy  → work

Work is the way of system to release its energy.

4. Principle that states that in any energy transformation some energy is dissipated as heat  → Second Law of Thermodynamics

5. energy of motion  → kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its motion.

6. work/displacement  → force

Work is product of force and displacement.

Work=Force \times displacement

Force=\frac{Work}{displacement}

7. power · time  → energy

Power is defined energy per unit time.

Power=\frac{Energy}{Time}

Energy=Power\times Time

8. Device that transforms heat energy into mechanical energy →  heat engine

heat engine is a device which converts the heat energy which is released due to combustion of fuel into a useful work that is mechanical energy.

9 . Energy due to position  → potential energy

Potential energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its position.

10. efficiency of a heat engine unit of heat  → calorie

11. Measure of molecular motion  → Temperature

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.

Greater the motion more will be the kinetic energy and with more will be the temperature.

12. Heat given off by a liquid with no change in temperature  → latent heat of fusion

Latent heat of fusion is defined as heat released by 1 mole of substance when it under goes phase change that is from solid to liquid.

13. Motion within solids  → vibrational motion

Vibrational motion is the motion in which particle oscillates from its mean position.

14. Phase of matter on the sun → plasma

Plasma is hot ionized gas with equal number of positive and negative ions. Due to high temperature of sun most the gas are in the plasma state.
