Complete Question:

During a car collision, the knee, thighbone, and hip can sustain a force no greater than 4000 N/ Forces that exceed this amount could cause dislocations or fractures. Assume that in a collision a knee stops when it hits the car's dashboard. Also assume that the mass of the body parts stopped by the knee is about 20% of the total body mass, which is 62 kg.

a) What is the minimum stopping time interval in needed to avoid injury to the knee if the person is initially traveling at 15 m/s (34 mi/h)? b) what is the minimum stopping distance?

Answer:

a) t= 46.5 msec. b) 0.35 m

Explanation:

Applying Newton´s 2nd Law to the mass supported by the knee (20% of the total mass), we can get the maximum acceleration allowable in order to avoid an injury, as follows:

a = F/m = 4000 N / 0.2*62 kg = 322.6 m/s²  

Applying the definition of acceleration, and taking into account that the knee finally come to an stop, we have:

a = vf - v₀ / Δt = -15 m/s / Δt

Solving for Δt :

Δt = -15 m/s / -322.6 m/s² = 0.0465 sec = 46.5 msec.

b) Assuming the acceleration remains constant during this time interval, we can find the distance needed to come to an ⇒stop, applying any of the kinematic equations, as this one:

vf² - v₀² = 2*a*Δx

⇒Δx = (vf²-v₀²) / 2*a

⇒Δx = -(15 m/s)² / 2*(-322.6 m/s²) = 0.35 m

Maximum current problem. If the current on your power supply exceeds 500 mA it can damage the supply. Suppose the supply is set
VikaD [51]

To solve this problem we will apply Ohm's law. The law establishes that the potential difference V that we apply between the ends of a given conductor is proportional to the intensity of the current I flowing through the said conductor. Ohm completed the law by introducing the notion of electrical resistance R. Mathematically it can be described as

V = IR \rightarrow R = \frac{V}{I}

Our values are

I = 500mA = 0.5A

V = 37V

Replacing,

R = \frac{V}{I}

R = \frac{37}{0.5}

R = 74 \Omega

Therefore the smallest resistance you can measure is 74 \Omega

What can be inferred when an atom is electrically charged?
Elena-2011 [213]

When an atom becomes electrically charged the number of electrons or protons stops and they are not equal again. The "extra" electron or proton is not balanced by something inside the atom any longer and it starts attracting itself to othet protons or electrons in other atoms.

<h3>What is atomic structure?</h3>

An atomic structure comprises of positively charged nucleus which is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electron and neutron which is neutral charged.

Unlike charges attract each other while like charges repel each other.

Therefore, When an electron is fully charged, the number of electrons will stop to be unequal again.

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s
