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)

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that

there must be no forces applied to the car .  The net force applied to the car is zero.

Since there is no acceleration ,no net force is applied , hence no force acts on the car.

How does increasing energy affect the amplitude of a wave?​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave

Explanation:

A high energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude; a low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude.  The energy imparted to a pulse will only affect the amplitude of that pulse.

Hope this helped!!!

what will be the moment of inertia of a body if it rotates at a uniform rate of 10rad/sec^2 by a torque of 120Nm?​
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

12 kgm²

Explanation:

here angular acceleration = 10rad/sec²

torque= 120Nm

moment of inertia=?

we know,

torque= angular acceleration× moment of Inertia

or, moment of inertia = torque/angular acceleration

= 120/10

= 12kgm²
