Suppose you want to design an air bag system that can protect the driver at a speed 100 km/h (60 mph) if the car hits a brick wall.
Estimate how fast the air bag must inflate to effectively protect the driver. How does the use of a seat belt help the driver?

Answers

Answer 1

When solving question that contains equations and the use mathematical computations, It is always ideal to list the parameters given.

Now, given that:

the speed of the car which is the initial velocity (u) = 100 km/h before it hits the wall.after hitting the wall, the final velocity will be (v) = 0 km/h

Assumptions:

Suppose we make an assumption that the distance traveled during the collision of the car with the brick wall (S) = 1 mThat the car's acceleration is also constant.

For a motion under constant acceleration, we can apply the kinematic equation:

[tex]\mathsf{v^2 = u^2 + 2as}[/tex]

where;

v = final velocity u = initial velocitya = accelerations = distance

From the above equation, making acceleration (a) the subject of the formula:

[tex]\mathsf{v^2 - u^2 =2as }[/tex]

[tex]\mathsf{a = \dfrac{v^2 - u^2 }{2s}}[/tex]

The initial velocity (u) is given in km/h, and we need to convert it to m/s as it has an effect on the unit of the acceleration.

since 1 km/h = 0.2778 m/s

100 km/h = 27.78 m/s

[tex]\mathsf{a = \dfrac{(0)^2 - (27.78)^2 }{2(1)}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathsf{a = \dfrac{- 771.7284 }{2}}[/tex]

a = - 385.86 m/s²

Similarly, from the kinematic equation of motion, the formula showing the relation between time, acceleration, and velocity is;

v = u + at

where;

v = 0

-u = at

[tex]\mathsf{t = \dfrac{-u}{a}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathsf{t = \dfrac{-27.78}{-385.86}}[/tex]

t = 0.07 seconds

An airbag is designed in such a way as to prevent the driver from hitting on the steering wheel or other hard substance that could damage the part of the body. The use of the seat belt is to keep the driver in shape and in a balanced position against the expansion that occurred by the airbag during the collision on the brick wall.

Thus, we can conclude that in order to estimate how fast the airbag must inflate to effectively protect the driver, the airbag must be inflated at 0.07 seconds faster before the collision to effectively protect the driver.

A series of pulses, each of amplitude 0.1 m, is sent down a string that is attached to a post at one end. The pulses are reflected at the post and travel back along the string without loss of amplitude. What is the net displacement at a point on the string where two pulses are crossing

Answers

Answer:

 A_resulting = 0.2 m

Explanation:

Let's analyze the impact of the pulse with the pole, this is a fixed obstacle that does not move therefore by the law of action and reluctant, the force that the pole applies on the rope is of equal magnitude to the force of the rope on the pole (pulse), but opposite directional, so the reflected pulse reverses its direction and sense.

With this information we analyze a point on the string where the incident pulse is and each reflected with an amplitude A = 0.1 m, the resulting is

           A_res = 2A

           A_resultant = 2 .01

           A_resulting = 0.2 m

Two identical cars, each traveling at 16 m>s, slam into a concrete wall and come to rest. In car A the air bag does not deploy and the driver hits the steering wheel; in car B the driver contacts the deployed air bag. (a) Is the impulse delivered by the steering wheel to driver A greater than, less than, or equal to the impulse delivered by the air bag to driver B

Answers

Answer:

 I = - m 16  the two impulses are the same,

Explanation:

The impulse is given by the relationship

         I = Δp

         I = p_f - p₀

in this case the final velocity is zero therefore p_f = 0

        I = -p₀

For driver A the steering wheel impulse is

        I = - m v₀

        I = - m 16

For driver B, the airbag gives an impulse

        I = - m 16

We can see that the two impulses are the same, the difference is that in the air bag more time is used to give this impulse therefore the force on the driver is less

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 690.0 kg and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 520.0 kg and was traveling westward at 74.0 km/h. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 6.00 m before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750. 1) How fast (in kilometer per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision

Answers

Answer:

The speed of car A before collision is 3.5 km/h.

Explanation:

Mass of car A = 690 kg eastwards

Mass of car B = 520 kg at 74 km/h west wards

Distance, s = 6 m

coefficient of friction = 0.75

Let the speed after collision is v.

Use third equation of motion

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 as \\\\0 =v^2- 2 \times 0.75\times9.8\times 6\\\\v = 9.4 m/s = 33.84 km/h[/tex]

Let the initial speed of car A is v'.

Use conservation of momentum

690 x v' - 520 x 74 = (690 + 520) x 33.8

690 v' + 38480 = 40898

v' = 3.5 km/h

You are designing a high-speed elevator for a new skyscraper. The elevator will have a mass limit of 2400 kg (including
passengers). For passenger comfort, you choose the maximum ascent speed to be 18.0 m/s, the maximum descent speed
to be 10.0 m/s, and the maximum acceleration magnitude to be 1.80 m/s2. Ignore friction.
What is the minimum upward force that the supporting cables exert on the elevator car?
KN

Answers

Answer:

19,224 N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass limit of the elevator = 2,400 kg

The maximum ascent speed = 18.0 m/s

The maximum descent speed = 10.0 m/s

The maximum acceleration = 1.80 m/s²

Given that the acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.81 m/s²

The minimum upward force that the elevator cable exert on the elevator car, [tex]F_{min}[/tex] , is given in the downward motion as follows;

[tex]F_{min}[/tex] = m·g - m·a

∴ [tex]F_{min}[/tex] = 2,400 kg × 9.81 m/s² - 2,400 kg × 1.80 m/s² = 19,224 N

The minimum upward force that the elevator cable exert on the elevator car, [tex]F_{min}[/tex] = 19,224 N

Army is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward. How fast does Bill see Carlos moving and in what direction?
a. 10 mis eastward
b. 5 m/s eastward
c. 15 m/s westward
d. 20 m/s westward
e. 10 m/s westward

Answers

Explanation:

Given that,

Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward: and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westward.

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

[tex]v_B=+5\ m/s[/tex]is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

[tex]v_c=15\ m/s[/tex] is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy.

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

[tex]v_B=+5\ m/s[/tex]

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

[tex]v_c'=-15\ m/s-(+5\ m/s)\\\\=-20\ m/s[/tex]

So, the magnitude is 20 m/s and the direction is westward (negative sign).

State how you agree or disagree with the following statement. A good circuit cannot have internal resistance.​

Answers

Answer: I do

Explanation:

Resistance opposes current thereby reducing the amount of current that flows through a circuit. In other words, it leads to a loss of electrical energy.

Ideally speaking, a good circuit should have no internal resistance as this would lead to more energy having to be supplied to overcome that resistance. External resistance however, is not a bad thing. For instance, oxygen being removed from lightbulbs.

Suppose that 2 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 34 cm to a length of 46 cm. (a) How much work is needed to stretch the spring from 36 cm to 41 cm

Answers

Answer:

0.83 J of work

Explanation:

2 J of work is required to stretch a spring from 34cm to 46cm

So that is 12cm stretched with 2 J of work

We can make that 6cm for 1 J of work

So, we need the find the work for stretching 36cm to 41cm

Which is 5cm

So, What is the work required to stretch 5cm?

1 J of work for 6cm

x work for 5cm

So, by proportion method

1 : 6 :: x : 5

6 * x = 1 * 5

6x = 5

x = 5/6

= 0.83

So to stretch 36cm to 41cm we need 0.83 J of work

Here we will use a simple example to demonstrate the difference between the rms speed and the average speed. Five ideal-gas molecules chosen at random are found to have speeds of 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 m/s. Find the rms speed for this collection. Is it the same as the average speed of these molecules

Answers

Explanation:

Given that,

Five ideal-gas molecules chosen at random are found to have speeds of 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 m/s.

The rms speed for this collection is as follows :

[tex]v_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{v_1^2+v_2^2+v_3^2+v_4^2+v_5^2}{5}} \\\\v_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{500^2+600^2+700^2+800^2+900^2}{5}} \\\\v_{rms}=714.14[/tex]

The average speed of these molecules is :

[tex]v_{a}=\dfrac{v_1+v_2+v_3+v_4+v_5}{5}} \\\\v_{a}={\dfrac{500+600+700+800+900}{5}} \\\\v_{a}=700\ m/s[/tex]

So, the rms speed is 714.14 m/s abd the average speed is 700 m/s.

A 1030 kg car has four 12.0 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to rotation of the wheels about their axles

Answers

Answer:

The required fraction is 0.023.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of a car, m = 1030 kg

Mass of 4 wheels = 12 kg

We need to find the fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to rotation of the wheels about their axles.

The rotational kinetic energy due to four wheel is

[tex]=4\times \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2\\\\=4\times \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{2}mR^2(\dfrac{v}{R})^2\\\\=mv^2[/tex]

Linear kinetic Energy of the car is:

[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times Mv^2[/tex]

Fraction,

[tex]f=\dfrac{mv^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2}\\\\f=\dfrac{m}{\dfrac{1}{2}M}\\\\f=\dfrac{12}{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1030}\\\\=0.023[/tex]

So, the required fraction is 0.023.

A mother is pulling a sled at constant velocity by means of a rope at 37°. The tension on the rope is 120 N. Mass of children plus sled is 55 kg. The mother has a mass of 61 kg. Find the static friction acting on the mother.

Answers

Answer:

f = 106.3 N

Explanation:

The force applied on the sled must be equal to the static frictional force to move the sled:

Tension Force Horizontal Component = Static Frictional Force

[tex]TCos\theta = \mu W\\TCos\theta = \mu mg[/tex]

where,

T = Tension = 120 N

θ = angle of rope = 37°

μ = coefficient of static friction = ?

m = mass of children plus sled = 55 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

[tex](120\ N)Cos\ 37^o = \mu (55\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)\\\\\mu = \frac{95.84\ N}{(55\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)}\\\\\mu = 0.18[/tex]

Now, the static friction acting on the mother will be:
