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.

Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of
schepotkina [342]
If speed = distance/time , then time = speed/distance.

So...

Speed of light = 3*10^8(m/s)
Average distance from Earth to Sun = 149.6*10^9(m)

Therefore, t=(3*10^8(m/s))/(149.6*10^9(m))

I hope this was a helpful explanation, please reply if you have further questions about the problem.

Good luck!

A worker pushes a 7 kg shipping box along a roller track. Assume friction is small enough to be ignored because of the rollers.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

a) Fₓ = 23.5 N

b) Net force = Fₓ

Explanation:

An image of the question as described is attached to this solution.

From the image attached, the forces acting on the box include the weight of the box, the normal reaction of the surface on the box, the applied force on the box and the Frictional force opposing the motion of the box (which is negligible and equal to 0)

a) From the diagram, the horizontal component of the force is

Fₓ = 25 cos 20° = 23.49 N = 25 N

b) Again, from the diagram attached, doing a force balance on the box, in the horizontal direction, we obtain

Net force = Fₓ - Frictional force

But frictional force is 0 N

Net force = Fₓ

Hope this Helps!!!

A baseball pitcher brings his arm forward during a pitch, rotating the forearm about the elbow. If the velocity of the ball in t
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

D) 117 rad/s

Explanation:

We can treat this system as a circular motion where the origin is the elbow joint, the ball rotation velocity v is 35 m/s, the rotation radius is r = 0.3m.

As the ball is leaving the pitcher hand at such speed and rotation radius. Its angular velocity is:

\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \frac{35}{0.3} = 117 rad/s

An astronomer observes that the wavelength of light from a distant star is shifted toward the red part of the visible spectrum.
balandron [24]

Answer:

The distance between the earth and the star is increasing.

Explanation:

When we observe an object and its electromagnetic radiation has been displaced to blue, it means that it is getting closer to us, causing the light waves it emits to get closer together and its wavelength to decrease towards blue, this is knowm as blueshift.

On the contrary, when an object is rapidly moving away from us, the light waves or electromagnetic radiation it emits have been stretched from their normal wavelength to a longer wavelength, towards the red part of the spectrum. This is known as redshift.

This phenomenon of changes in wavelength and frequency due to movement (whether the source approaches or moves away) is described by the Doppler effect.

So for this case because the light we perceive from the star has moved to the red part of the visible spectrum, we can conclude that it is moving away from the earth, and that the distance between the star and the earth is increasing.
