The main purpose of an air bag is to stop a passenger during a car accident in a greater amount of time than if the air bag were

not present. For example, consider a 55 kg person traveling at 29 m/s (about 65 mph). Use impulse and momentum to calculate how many newtons of force would be required to stop the person in 0.035 s, 0.070 s, and 0.35 s. Note how the force changes with increased time. (Enter the magnitudes.)

Answer:

a) 45571 N  

b) 22786 N

c) 4557 N

Explanation:

  • Since the goal of the airbag is helping the person to stop after the collision in a greater time, this means that the change in momentum must finish when this is just zero.
  • In other words, the change in momentum, must be equal to the initial one, but with opposite sign.

       \Delta p = - p_{o} = -m*v = -55 kg*29m/s = -1595 kgm/s (1)

  • Now, just applying the original form of  Newton's 2nd Law, we know that this change in momentum must be equal to the impulse needed to stop the person:

       \Delta p = F* \Delta t  (2)

  • So, as we know the magnitude of Δp from (1) and we have different Δt as givens, we can get the different values of F (in magnitude) required to stop the person for each one of them, as follows:

       F_{1} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{1}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.035s} = 45571 N (3)

       F_{2} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{2}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.07s} = 22786 N (4)

       F_{3} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{3}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.35s} = 4557 N (5)

What is the difference between a data table and a graph?
alexandr402 [8]

At the same time, however, you get less detail or less precision in a chart or graph than you do in the table. Imagine the difference between a table of sales figures for a ten-year period and a line graph for that same data. You get a better sense of the overall trend in the graph but not the precise dollar amount.

Determine the magnitude and direction of the force on a 200 m power line carrying a current of 5.0-A due west in a magnetic fiel
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

l = 200 m

i = 5 A west

B = 6 micro Tesla direction 30 degree north of east

angle between length vector and the magnetic field vector = 180 - 30 = 150 degree

Write the length and the magnetic field in the vector form

\overrightarrow{l}=- 200 \widehat{i}metre

\overrightarrow{B}= 6\times 10^{-6}\left ( Cos30\widehat{i}+Sin30\widehat{j} \right )Tesla

\overrightarrow{B}=\left ( 5.2\widehat{i}+3\widehat{j} \right )\times 10^{-6}Tesla

\overrightarrow{F} = i \overrightarrow{l}\times \overrightarrow{B}

\overrightarrow{F} = 5\times \left ( -200\widehat{i} \right )\times \left ( 5.2\widehat{i}+3\widehat{j} \right )\times 10^{-6}

\overrightarrow{F} =- 3\times 10^{-3}\widehat{k}Newton

Thus, the magnitude of force is 3 x 10^-3 newton and it is directed towards negative z axis direction.

Increasing the speed of your vehicle influences the risk of being involved in a traffic collision because it _________.
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explanation:

When you're driving and you increase the speed of your car, it influences the chances of being involved in a traffic collision because it reduces the amount of time to adjust before a collision happens, and increasing the speed also contribute to the intensity of collision. Hence, making it difficult for anyone to survive.
