In a car crash, large accelerations of the head can lead to severe injuries or even death. A driver can probably survive an acce

leration of 50g that lasts for less than 30 ms, but in a crash with a 50gacceleration lasting longer than 30 ms, a driver is unlikely to survive. Imagine a collision in which a driver's head experienced a 50g accelerationWhat is the highest speed that the car could have had such that the driver survived? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

14.7 m/s

Explanation:

a = acceleration experienced by driver's head = 50 g = 50 x 9.8 m/s² = 490 m/s²

v₀ = initial speed of the driver = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the driver after 30 ms

t = time interval for which the acceleration is experienced = 30 ms = 0.030 s

Using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

Inserting the values

v = 0 + (490) (0.030)

v = 14.7 m/s

-Dominant- [34]
<span>At time t1 = 0 since the body is at rest, the body has an angular velocity, v1, of 0. At time t = X, the body has an angular velocity of 1.43rad/s2. Since Angular acceleration is just the difference in angular speed by time. We have 4.44 = v2 -v1/t2 -t1 where V and t are angular velocity and time. So we have 4.44 = 1.43 -0/X - 0. Hence X = 1.43/4.44 = 0.33s.</span>

A container of volume 0.6 m^3 contains 5.3 mol of argon gas at 24°C. Assuming argon behaves as an ideal gas, find the total inte
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

the internal energy of the gas is 433089.52 J

Explanation:

let n be the number of moles, R be the gas constant and T be the temperature in Kelvins.

the internal energy of an ideal gas is given by:

Ein = 3/2×n×R×T

     = 3/2×(5.3)×(8.31451)×(24 + 273)

     = 433089.52 J

Therefore, the internal energy of this gas is 433089.52 J.

A 250 Hz tuning fork is struck and the intensity at the source is I1 at a distance of one meter from the source. (a) What is the
Zina [86]

Answer:

a) 0.0625 I_1

b) 3.16 m

Explanation:

<u>Concepts and Principles  </u>

The intensity at a distance r from a point source that emits waves of power P is given as:  

I=P/4π*r^2                         (1)

<u>Given Data</u>

f (frequency of the tuning fork) = 250 Hz

I_1 is the intensity at the source a distance r_1 = I m from the source.  

<u>Required Data</u>

- In part (a), we are asked to determine the intensity I_2 a distance r_2 = 4 in from the source.

- In part (b), we are asked to determine the distance from the tuning fork at which the intensity is a tenth of the intensity at the source.  

<u>solution:</u>

(a)  

According to Equation (1), the intensity a distance r is inversely proportional to the distance from the source squared:

I∝1/r^2

Set the proportionality:  

I_1/I_2=(r_2/r_1)^2                                 (2)

Solve for I_2 :  

I_2=I_1(r_2/r_1)^2  

I_2=0.0625 I_1

(b)  

Solve Equation (2) for r_2:  

r_2=(√I_1/I_2)*r_1

where I_2 = (1/10)*I_1:

r_2=(√I_1/1/10*I_1)*r_1

     =3.16 m

lisov135 [29]
So the equation for angular velocity is

Omega = 2(3.14)/T

Where T is the total period in which the cylinder completes one revolution.

In order to find T, the tangential velocity is

V = 2(3.14)r/T

When calculated, I got V = 3.14

When you enter that into the angular velocity equation, you should get 2m/s
