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

1 answer:

5 0

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.

How are inertia and momentum related?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Explanation:

My sources says "Inertia is an intrinsic characteristic of the object related to its mass. Inertia tells you how much force it will take to cause a particular acceleration on the object. Momentum is a function of an object's mass and velocity. Momentum is a measure of the kinetic energy of the object."

1) Find the voltage on a circuit with a resistance of 12.5 Ω if it has a current of 2.35 A.

KengaRu [80]

1. The voltage on the circuit with a resistance of 12.5 Ω and current of 2.35 A is 29.4 V.

2.The resistance in the circuit is found to be 1.45 Ω.

3. The equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in series is 24 Ω.

4. The equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in parallel is 2.18Ω.

5. The power generated is 552.5 W.

6. The frequency of the green light is 0.56×10¹⁵ Hz.

Explanation:

1) This problem can be solved using Ohm's law. Here the resistance (R) of the circuit is given to be 12.5 Ω and the current (I) is stated to be 2.35 A. So the ohm's law states that in a closed circuit, the voltage will be directly proportional to the current flowing in the circuit and the resistance will act as the proportionality constant.

$V = I * R = 2.35*12.5 = 29.4 V$

So, the voltage on the circuit with a resistance of 12.5 Ω and current of 2.35 A is 29.4 V.

2) Using the same Ohms' law, now we have to determine the resistance. So in this case, the voltage is given as 9 V and the current is said to be 6.2 A, then resistance can be determined as the ratio of voltage to current.

$R = \frac{V}{I} =\frac{9}{6.2} =1.45 Ohms$

So, the resistance in the circuit is found to be 1.45 Ω.

3) Here, the resistances of three resistors are given as 4 Ω, 8 Ω and 12 Ω. And it is stated that the resistances are connected or wired in series. Then the equivalent resistance will be obtained by the sum of resistances of three resistors, as the current flow will be constant in all the three resistors.

$R_{s} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3} \\ \\R_{s} = 4+8+12 = 24 ohms$

Thus, the equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in series is 24 Ω.

4) Now, if the resistors are connected in parallel, then the equivalent resistance will be ratio of product of resistances to the sum of the resistances.

$\frac{1}{R_{p} }= \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2} } +\frac{1}{R_{3} }\\\\\frac{1}{R_{p} }=\frac{1}{4}+ \frac{1}{8} +\frac{1}{12} = \frac{6+3+2}{24} =\frac{11}{24} \\\\R_{p} = \frac{24}{11 } =2.18 Ohm$

Thus, the equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in parallel is 2.18Ω.

5) Power generated by the person can be obtained by the ratio of work done by the person to the time in which the work is done. So the work done can be obtained by the product of force with displacement.

As here the weight lifted by the person will act as dominant force on the person. So the force is considered as F = 956 N and the displacement is d = 2.41 m, then

$Work done = Force * displacement = 956*2.41 =2303.96 J$

So, the work done is obtained as 2303.96 J and the time is given as 4.17 s, then

$Power = \frac{Work done}{Time} =\frac{2303.96}{4.17} =552.5 W$

So, the power generated is 552.5 W.

6) In this, the wavelength of green light is given as 5.34 × 10⁻⁷ m. It is known that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

$Wavelength = \frac{Speed of light}{Frequency}$

As, speed of light is known as 3×10⁸ m/s, the frequency will be determined as the ratio of speed of light to wavelength.

$Frequency = \frac{Speed of light}{Wavelength} =\frac{3*10^{8} }{5.34*10^{-7} } \\\\Frequency =0.56*10^{15} Hz$

Thus, the frequency of the green light is 0.56×10¹⁵ Hz.

n order better to map the surface features of the Moon, a 361 kg361 kg imaging satellite is put into circular orbit around the M

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of satellite

M_s = 361 kg

Distance of satellite from moon

h = 147 km = 147,000m

Radius of the moon is

R_m = 1740 km = 1740,000m

Mass of the moon is

M_m = 7.36 × 10²² kg.

The kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy of the body to the surface of the moon from the conservation of energy.

K.E = P.E = mgh

Gravity on moon is g = 1.62 m/s²

K.E = 361 × 1.62 × 147,000

K.E = 8.597 × 10^7 J.

B. The gravitational potential energy can be calculated using

U = G•M_s × M_m (1/R_s - 1 / R)

R is the total distance from the centre of the moon to the satellite

R = h + R_m = 147 + 1740 = 1887km

R = 1,887,000 m

U = 6.67 × 10^-11 × 361 × 7.36 × 10²² (1/1,740,000 - 1/1,887,000)

U = 6.67 × 10^-11 × 361 × 7.36 × 10²² × 4.48 × 10^-8

U = 7.93 × 10^7 J

Then,

The total energy becomes

E = K.E + U

E= 8.597 × 10^7 + 7.93 × 10^7 J

E = 1.653 × 10^8 J
