Explain why it is not safe for a double decker bus to carry standing passenger on the upper Decker​

Physics

valina [46]3 years ago

Answer: The reason why it's not safe for a double decker bus to carry standing passengers is because the center of gravity is raised causing increase in instability of the bus.

Explanation:

A double decker bus is a type of bus that has double decks and usually used by transportation companies for a transport business. Stability is the ability of an object to remain in its state of equilibrium after being distrubed. Stable objects are very difficult to lose balance while unstable object lose their balance easily.

For an object to be stable it must have:

--> a wide base and

--> a low center of gravity.

Therefore when an object has a wide base and a low center of gravity, it is more stable than an object that has a narrow base and a high center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average weight location of an object.

When passengers are left standing on the upper deck of the double decker bus, this INCREASES the center of gravity. This makes the center of gravity of the bus to be outside the base or edge on which it balances. The weight upon having a turning effect will cause the bus to topple and fall which can be dangerous to the lives of the passengers. Therefore it is advisable for passengers to seat while the bus is in motion to help reduce the center of gravity.

An 67-kg jogger is heading due east at a speed of 2.3 m/s. A 70-kg jogger is heading 61 ° north of east at a speed of 1.3 m/s. F
ololo11 [35]

Answer

given,

mass of jogger  = 67 kg

speed in east direction = 2.3 m/s

mass of jogger 2 = 70 Kg

speed  = 1.3 m/s  in  61 ° north of east.

jogger one

P_1 = m_1 v_1 \hat{i}

P_1 = 67 \times 2.3\hat{i}

P_1 = 154.1 \hat{i}

P_2 = m_2 v_2 \hat{i} +m_2 v_2 \hat{j}

P_2 = 70\times v cos \theta \hat{i} +70\times v sin \theta \hat{j}

P_2 = 70\times 1.3 cos 61^0 \hat{i} +70\times 1.3 sin 61^0\hat{j}

P_2 = 44.12\hat{i} +79.59\hat{j}

now

P = P₁ + P₂

P = 198.22 \hat{i} +79.59 \hat{j}

magnitude

P = \sqrt{198.22^2 + 79.59^2}

P =213.60 kg.m/s

\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{79.59}{198.22}

\theta = 21.87

the angle is \theta = 21.87 north of east

A car is driving at 99 km/h, calculate the distance it travels in 70 minutes.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units

Explanation:

Distance d = vt where v = speed of the car and t = time taken to travel

Now v = 99 km/h. We now convert it to S.I units. So

v = 99 km/h = 99 × 1000 m/(1 × 3600 s)

v = 99000 m/3600 s

v = 27.5 m/s

The speed of the car is 27.5 m/s in S.I units

We now convert the time t = 70 minutes to seconds by multiplying it by 60.

So, t = 70 min = 70 × 60 s = 4200 s

The time taken to travel is 4200 s in S.I units

Now the distance, d = vt

d = 27.5 m/s × 4200 s

d = 115500 m

So, the distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units
