Answer:

mesa

Explanation:

A mesa is a flat-topped mountain or hill. It is a wide, flat, elevated landform with steep sides. ... Spanish explorers of the American southwest, where many mesas are found, used the word because the tops of mesas look like the tops of tables.

At a fixed depth within a fluid at rest, the pressure pushing upward is

earnstyle [38]

Answer: E) A) salt water.

Explanation:

E) In equilibrium, pressure exerts equally in all directions, so for a given depth, the pressure is the same for all points located at the same depth, and it can be written as follows:

p = p₀ + ρ.g.h, where p₀ = atmospheric pressure, ρ=fluid density, h=depth from the surface.

A) The buoyant force, as discovered by Archimedes, is an upward force, that opposes to the weight of an object (as it is always downward), and is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid that the object removes, which means that is proportional to the density of the liquid.

As salt water is denser than fresh water, the buoyant force exerted by the salt water is always greater than the one produced by the fresh water, so objects will float more easily in salt water than in fresh water.

In the limit, it is possible that one object float in salt water and sink in fresh water.

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

Simora [160]

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:

$F_{1} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{1}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.035s} = 45571 N (3)$

$F_{2} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{2}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.07s} = 22786 N (4)$

$F_{3} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{3}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.35s} = 4557 N (5)$
