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)

Picking up sound waves is the stage of listening that most people refer to as what?
kirill [66]

A. Picking up sound waves is the stage of listening that most people refer to as hearing.

<h3>What is hearing?</h3>

Hearing, or auditory perception, is the ability to perceive sounds through an organ, such as an ear, by detecting vibrations as periodic changes in the pressure of a surrounding medium.

During learning process, when someone picks up the sound waves directed to him/her, it is known as the act of hearing,

Thus, picking up sound waves is the stage of listening that most people refer to as hearing.

A ride-sharing car moving along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time taken to accelerate to 28 m /s

= 28 / 2 = 14 s

a ) Total length of time in motion

= 14 + 41 + 5

= 60 s .

b )

Distance covered while accelerating

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 14²

= 196 m .

Distance covered while moving in uniform motion

= 28 x 41

= 1148 m

distance covered while decelerating

v = u - at

0 = 28 - a x 5

a = 5.6 m / s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = 28² - 2 x 5.6 x s

s = 28² / 2 x 5.6

= 70 m .

Total distance covered

= 196 + 1148 + 70

= 1414 m

total time taken = 60 s

average velocity

= 1414 / 60

= 23.56 m /s .

Consider an experiment in which slow neutrons of momentum ¯hk are scattered by a diatomic molecule; suppose that the molecule is
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When we have an object in periodic motion, the amplitude will be the maximum displacement from equilibrium. Take for example, when there’s a back and forth movement of a pendulum through its equilibrium point (straight down), then swings to a highest distance away from the center. This distance will be represented as the amplitude, A. The full range of the pendulum has a magnitude of 2A.

position = amplitude x sine function(angular frequency x time + phase difference)

x = A sin(ωt + ϕ)

x = displacement (m)

A = amplitude (m)

ω = angular frequency (radians/s)

t = time (s)

ϕ = phase shift (radians)

Kindly check the attached image below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.
