You and your brother argue often about how to safely secure a toddler in a moving car. You insist that special toddler seats are

critical in improving the chances of a toddler surviving a crash. Your brother claims that, as long as his wife is buckled in next to him with a seat belt while he drives, she can hold onto their toddler on her lap in a crash. You decide to perform a calculation to try to convince your brother. Consider a hypothetical collision in which the 13 kg toddler and his parents are riding in a car traveling at 37 mi/h relative to the ground. The car strikes a wall, tree, or another car, and is brought to rest in 0.14 as. You wish to demonstrate to your brother the magnitude of the force necessary for his wife to hold onto their child during the collision. What is the magnitude of this force (in N)

Answer:

Force F = 1535.86 N

the force necessary for his wife to hold onto their child during the collision is 1535.86 N

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of toddler m = 13 kg

Velocity v = 37 mi/h = 37 × 0.44704 m/s = 16.54 m/s

Impulse time t = 0.14 seconds

Using the impulse momentum equation,

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = m(∆v)

Force F = m(∆v)/t

∆v = 16.54 m/s

F = 13×16.54/0.14

Force F = 1535.86 N

Calculate the calories lost when 95 g of water cools from 45 ∘C to 29 ∘C. Express your answer to two significant figures and inc
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

1,520.00 calories

Explanation:

Water molecules are linked by hydrogen bonds that require a lot of heat (energy) to break, which is released when the temperature drops. That energy is called specific heat or thermal capacity (ĉ) when it is enough to change the temperature of 1g of the substance (in this case water) by 1°C. Water ĉ equals 1 cal/(g.°C).

Given that ĉ = Q / (m.ΔT),

where Q= calories transferred between the system and its environment or another system (unity: calorie or cal) (what we are trying to find out),

m= mass of the substance (unity: grams or g), and

ΔT= difference of temperature (unity: Celsius degrees or °C); and

m= 95g and ΔT= 16°C:

Q= 1 cal/(g.°C).95g.16°C =<u> 1,520.00 cal </u>

Quinn is testing the motion of two projectiles x and y by shooting them from a sling shot. What can we say best describes the mo
Studentka2010 [4]

Explanation:

            A projectile motion may be defined as that form of a motion that is experienced by an object or a particle which is projected near the surface of the Earth and the particle moves along the curved path  subjected to gravity force only.

           Thus a projectile motion is always acted upon by a constant acceleration due to gravity in the down ward direction.

             In the context, Quinn shoots two particle x and y from his sling shot and he observes that both his projectiles travels in a parabola curve in the air. Both the object x and y touches the ground a distance apart from him which is known as the range and it depends upon the velocity of the projectile. Both the projectile reaches a maximum height and then drop on the ground in a parabola shape.
