The variation of momentum (= the impulse) of the car during the impact is
\Delta p = F \Delta t
\Delta p does not change whether the car has an airbag or not, because 
\Delta  p = m\Delta v
and 1) the mass of the car is always the same 2) the change in velocity of the car is always the same,

so if \Delta p is constant and F is reduced by a factor 110, then \Delta t (the duration of the collision) must be increased by a factor 110 with the airbag.

An electron is in motion at 4.0 × 106 m/s horizontally when it enters a region of space between two parallel plates, as shown, s
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

xmax = 9.5cm

Explanation:

In this case, the trajectory described by the electron, when it enters in the region between the parallel plates, is a semi parabolic trajectory.

In order to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron you first calculate the vertical acceleration of the electron.

You use the Newton second law and the electric force on the electron:

F_e=qE=ma             (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10-31 kg

E: magnitude of the electric field = 4.0*10^2N/C

You solve the equation (1) for a:

a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(4.0*10^2N/C)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}=7.03*10^{13}\frac{m}{s^2}

Next, you use the following formula for the maximum horizontal distance reached by an object, with semi parabolic motion at a height of d:

x_{max}=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}             (2)

Here, the height d is the distance between the plates d = 2.0cm = 0.02m

vo: initial velocity of the electron = 4.0*10^6m/s

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

x_{max}=(4.0*10^6m/s)\sqrt{\frac{2(0.02m)}{7.03*10^{13}m/s^2}}\\\\x_{max}=0.095m=9.5cm

The horizontal distance traveled by the electron is 9.5cm

Materials have unique properties because each one is made up of different kinds of which particle?
inysia [295]

D. Atoms.

Explanation:

All the matter is made of elementary particles called "atoms".

Further, an atom is made of electrons, protons and neutrons. The electrons & protons are again made of the fundamental sub-particles, electrons (leptons) and the protons(quarks).

The classification of particles is shown in the figure attached

A 4kg block is sliding on a horizontal frictionless floor at a speed of 2.5ms and runs into a horizontal spring. The spring has
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mas of block m=4\ kg

speed of block v=2.5\ m/s

spring constant k=30\ N-m

As the mass collides with the spring its kinetic energy is converted to the Elastic Potential energy of the spring

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

x=v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

x=2.5\times \sqrt{\frac{4}{30}}

x=0.912\ m

1.5 kg of air within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot power cycle with maximum and minimum temperatures of 800 K and
liraira [26]

Answer:

Explanation:

Carton cycle consists of four thermodynamic processes . The first is isothermal expansion at higher temperature , then adiabatic expansion which lowers the temperature of gas . The third process is isothermal compression at lower temperature and the last process is adiabatic compression which increases the temperature of the gas to its original temperature .

So the given process of isothermal compression must have been done at the temperature of 300K  , keeping the temperature constant .

Work done on gas at isothermal compression is equal to heat transfer .

work done on gas = 80 x 10³ J

work done on gas = n RT ln v₁ / v₂

n is number of moles v₁ and v₂ are initial and final volume

molecular weight of gas = 28.97 g

1.5 kg = 1500 / 28.97 moles

= 51.77 moles

work done on gas = n RT ln v₁ / v₂

Putting the values in the equation above

80 x 10³ = 51.78 x 8.31 x 300 x ln v₁ / .2

ln v₁ / .2 = .62

v₁ / .2 = 1.8589

v₁ = 0.37 m³
