During an auto accident, the vehicle's air bags deploy and slow down the passengers more gently than if they had hit the windshi

eld or steering wheel. According to safety standards, the bags produce a maximum acceleration of 60 g, but lasting for only 36 ms (or less).
How far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g?

Answer:

At a deceleration of 60g, or 60 times the acceleration due to gravity a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop

Explanation:

The maximum acceleration of the airbag = 60 g, and the duration of the acceleration = 36 ms or 36/1000 s or 0.036 s

To find out how far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g

we write out the equation of motion thus.

S = ut + 0.5at²

wgere

S = distance to come to complete stop

u = final velocoty = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = 60g = 60 × 9.81

t = time = 36 ms

as can be seen, the above equation calls up the given variable as a function of the required variable thus

S = 0×0.036 + 0.5×60×9.81×0.036² = 0.38 m

At 60g, a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop

For a magnetic field strength of 2T, estimate the magnitude of the maximum force on a 1-mm-long segment of a single cylindrical
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Incomplete question

This is the complete question

For a magnetic field strength of 2 T, estimate the magnitude of the maximum force on a 1-mm-long segment of a single cylindrical nerve that has a diameter of 1.5 mm. Assume that the entire nerve carries a current due to an applied voltage of 100 mV (that of a typical action potential). The resistivity of the nerve is 0.6ohms meter

Explanation:

Given the magnetic field

B=2T

Lenght of rod is 1mm

L=1/1000=0.001m

Diameter of rod=1.5mm

d=1.5/1000=0.0015m

Radius is given as

r=d/2=0.0015/2

r=0.00075m

Area of the circle is πr²

A=π×0.00075²

A=1.77×10^-6m²

Given that the voltage applied is 100mV

V=0.1V

Given that resistive is 0.6 Ωm

We can calculate the resistance of the cylinder by using

R= ρl/A

R=0.6×0.001/1.77×10^-6

R=339.4Ω

Then the current can be calculated, using ohms law

V=iR

i=V/R

i=0.1/339.4

i=2.95×10^-4 A

i=29.5 mA

The force in a magnetic field of a wire is given as

B=μoI/2πR

Where

μo is a constant and its value is

μo=4π×10^-7 Tm/A

Then,

B=4π×10^-7×2.95×10^-4/(2π×0.00075)

B=8.43×10^-8 T

Then, the force is given as

F=iLB

Since B=2T

F=iL(2B)

F=2.95×10^-4×2×8.34×10^-8

F=4.97×10^-11N

lina2011 [118]
The area of the sprinkles can be determined through the area of a circle that is pi * r^2 in which the given dimensions above are the radii, r. The second scenarios radius is only half of the original, that is 4 ft. In this case, we can compute the area of the second again. We calculate next the difference of two areas of circles.

7. A local sign company needs to install a new billboard. The signpost is 30 m tall, and the ladder truck is parked 24 m away fr
wolverine [178]
<h2>Solution :</h2>

Here ,

• Height of sign post = 30 m

• Distance between signpost and truck = 24 m

Let the

• Top of signpost = A

• Bottom of signpost = B

• The end of truck facing sign post be = C

Now as we can clearly imagine that the ladder will act as an hypotenuse to the Triangle ABC .

Where

• AB = Height of signpost = 30 m

• BC = distance between both = 24 m

• AC = Minimum length of ladder

→ AC² = AB² + BC² ( As we can see AB is perpendicular to BC )

→ AC² = (30)² + (24)²

→ AC² = 900 + 576

→ AC² = 1476

→ AC = 38.41875

or AC apx = 38.42

So minimum height of ladder = 38.42

A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at a speed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s
Archy [21]

Answer:

a) t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) t = 54 s

c) t = 49 s

Explanation:

a) The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line at constan speed is:

x = x0 + v * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

In this case, the origin of our reference system is at the begining of the sidewalk.

a) To calculate the time the passenger travels on the sidewalk without wlaking, we can use the equation for the position, using as speed the speed of the sidewalk:

x = x0 + v * t

95 m = 0m + 0. 53 m/s * t

t = 95 m/ 0.53 m/s

t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) Now, the speed of the passenger will be her walking speed plus the speed of th sidewalk (0.53 m/s + 1.24 m/s = 1.77 m/s)

t = 95 m/ 1.77 m/s = 54 s

c) In this case, the passenger is located 95 m from the begining of the sidewalk, then, x0 = 95 m and the final position will be x = 0. She walks in an opposite direction to the movement of the sidewalk, towards the origin of the system of reference ( the begining of the sidewalk). Then, her speed will be negative ( v = 0.53 m/s - 2*(1.24 m/s) = -1.95 m/s. Then:

0 m = 95 m -1.95 m/s * t

t = -95 m / -1.95 m/s = 49 s
