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)

adell [148]

Answer:

4.9 eV .

Explanation:

It is the case of discharge through mercury tube light . In it , mercury  atoms are exited due to which electrons are sent to higher energy  level . Here current drops to zero because electrons are excited to higher level . Energy are absorbed in quantised manner . Energy absorbed by electrons will be 4.9 eV . That means , difference in energy  between two energy level is  4.9 eV .

The tape in a videotape cassette has a total

Answer:

w=19.76 \ rad/s

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion </u>

Suppose there is an object describing a circle of radius r around a fixed point. If the relation between the angle of rotation by the time taken is constant, then the angular speed is also constant. If that relation increases or decreases at a constant rate, the angular speed is given by:

w=w_o+\alpha \ t

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration and t is the time. If the object was instantly released from the circular path, it would have a tangent speed of:

\displaystyle v_t=w.r

We have two reels: one loaded with the tape to play and the other one empty and starting to fill with tape. They both rotate at different angular speeds, one is increasing and the other is decreasing as the tape goes from one to the other. We'll assume the tangent speed is constant for both (so the tape can play correctly). Let's call w_1 the angular speed of the loaded reel and w_2 that from the empty reel. We have

w_1=w_{o1}+\alpha_1 \ t

w_2=w_{o2}+\alpha_2 \ t

If r_f=35\ mm=0.035\ m is the radius of the reel when it's full of tape, the angular speed for the loaded reel is computed by

\displaystyle w_{01}=\frac{v_t}{r_f}

The tangent speed is computed by knowing the length of the tape and the time needed to fully play it.

t=1.8\ h=1.8*3600=6480\ sec

\displaystyle v_t=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{249\ m}{6480\ sec}=0.0384 \ m/s

\displaystyle w_{01}=\frac{0.0384}{0.035}=1,098 \ rad/s

If r_e=10\ mm=0.001\ m is the radius of the reel when it's empty, the angular speed for the empty reel is computed by

\displaystyle w_{02}=\frac{0.0384}{0.001}=38.426 \ rad/s

The full reel goes from w_{01} to w_{02} in 6480 seconds, so we can compute the angular acceleration:

\displaystyle \alpha_1=\frac{w_{02}-w_{01}}{6480}

\displaystyle \alpha_1=\frac{38.426-1.098}{6480}=0.00576 \ rad/sec^2

The empty reel goes from w_{02} to w_{01} in 6480 seconds, so we can compute the angular acceleration:

\displaystyle \alpha_2=\frac{1.098-38.426}{6480}=-0.00576 \ rad/sec^2

So the equations for both reels are

w_1=1.098+0.00576 \ t

w_2=38.426-0.00576 \ t

They will be the same when

1.098+0.00576 \ t=38.426-0.00576 \ t

Solving for t

\displaystyle t=\frac{38.426-1.098}{0.0115}

t=3240 \ sec

The common angular speed is

w_1=1.098+0.00576 \ 3240=19.76 \ rad/s

w_2=38.426-0.00576 \ 3240=19.76 \ rad/s

They both result in the same, as expected

\boxed{w=19.76 \ rad/s}
