The largest acceleration that a human has ever endured occurred when a race car accidentally crashed into a wall. The car was traveling at a speed of 172.8 km/h when it hit the wall. The car came to a complete stop 2.72 ´ 10–2 s later.

a. Calculate the acceleration of the car using the acceleration formula. Express your answer in both m/s2 and in “g’s.” One g is equal to the free-fall acceleration of 9.8 m/s2.







b. Suppose the driver of the car had a mass of 70.0 kg. What was the unbalanced force on his body as the car underwent negative acceleration?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The acceleration oF the car is [tex]-1764.7 m/s^2[/tex] or -180.1 g’s.

(b) The magnitude of the force on the driver's body is 123529 Newtons

Explanation:

Given that:

The initial velocity of the car before the impact, u=172.8 km/h

Or, [tex]u =172.8 \times \frac {1000}{3600} m/s= 48m/s[/tex]

As the car came to a complete stop after the collision, so the final velocity of the car, v=0.

The time required to stop the car completely, [tex]t=2.72\times 10^{-2} s[/tex]

(a) Assuming the acceleration is constant, so

Acceleration, [tex]a= (v-u)/t[/tex]

So, [tex]a=\frac {0-48}{2.72\times 10^{-2}}=-1764.7 m/s^2[/tex]

Now, expressing the acceleration in the unit od "g's",

[tex]a=-1764.7\times \frac{g}{g} \\\\\Rightarrow a=-1764.7 \;m/s^2\times \frac{g}{9.8\; m/s^2} \\\\\Rightarrow a=-180.1 g[/tex]

Hence, the acceleration od the car is -1764.7 [tex]m/s^2[/tex] or -180.1 g’s.

(b) Mass of the driver of the car, m=70.0 kg

The acceleration of the body of the driver is the same as the acceleration of the car.

So, the acceleration faced by the driver, [tex]a= -1764.7 m/s^2[/tex]

As forec = mass x acceleration, so

The force on the driver's body = 70 x (-1764.7)= -123529 Newtons.

The negative sign means the force is in the opposite direction of the direction of motion of the car.

Hence, the magnitude of the force on the driver's body is 123529 Newtons

Near the surface of Earth, what is the acceleration of an object due to the force of gravity? !!!!! Please answer !!!!!

Answers

Answer:

Weight. Recall that the acceleration of a free-falling object near Earth's surface is approximately g=9.80m/s2 g = 9.80 m/s 2 . The force causing this acceleration is called the weight of the object, and from Newton's second law, it has the value mg.

Matter can go through a phase change and still have the same mass.

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In a physical change such as melting, can change its form but the total mass will remain the same. For example, in a chemical reaction, the total mass of substances that react will equal the mass of the products. However, it is important to mention that some phase changes such as from solid to liquid, the mass of an ice will be turned to the liquid what and during this phase change period, the mass of the ice consequently decreases.

A car tyre is pumped to a pressure of 20000 Nm-2 in the morning when the temperature is 23 oC. Later in the day, the temperature rises to 34 oC. Calculate the new pressure in the tyre. The volume is kept constant.

Answers

Answer:

20743.24 Nm¯²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P1) = 20000 Nm¯²

Initial temperature (T1) = 23 °C

Final temperature (T2) = 34 °C

Final pressure (P2) =?

Volume = constant

Next, we shall convert celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

Initial temperature (T1) = 23 °C

Initial temperature (T1) = 23 °C + 273 = 296 K

Final temperature (T2) = 34 °C

Final temperature (T2) = 34 °C + 273 = 307 K

Finally, we shall determine the final (i.e the new) pressure of the tyre.

Initial pressure (P1) = 20000 Nm¯²

Initial temperature (T1) = 296 K

Final temperature (T2) = 307 K

Final pressure (P2) =?

Volume = constant

Since the volume is constant, the final (i.e the new) pressure of the tyre can be obtained by using the following formula:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

20000 / 296 = P2 /307

Cross multiply

296 × P2 = 20000 × 307

Divide both side by 296

P2 = (20000 × 307) /296

P2 = 20743.24 Nm¯²

Therefore, the new pressure of the tyre is 20743.24 Nm¯²

A cyclist acceleration from 0m/s to 8m/s in 3second. what is his acceleration?​

Answers

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor
a distance of 8.1 m. The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is
230 N. If the work was done in 55 seconds, what is the power of the mover?

Answers

Given :

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m.

The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N.

To Find :

How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator.

Solution :

Since, refrigerator is moving with constant velocity.

So, force applied by the mover is also 230 N ( equal to force of friction ).

Now, work done in order to move the refrigerator is :

[tex]W = Force\times distance\\\\W = 230 \times 8.1\ N\ m\\\\W = 1863\ N\ m[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

When a 0.622 kg basketball hits the floor, its velocity changes from 4.23 m/s down to 3.85 m/s up. If the average force was 72.9 N, how much time was it in contact with the floor?
(Unit = s)
Remember: up is +, down is -

Answers

Answer:

t = 0.0689 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a basketball, m = 0.622 kg

Initial velocity, u = 4.23 m/s (downward or negative)

Final velocity, v = 3.85 m/s (up of positive)

Average force, F = 72.9 N

We need to find the time it was in contact with the floor. The force is given by :

[tex]F=ma\\\\F=m\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{F}\\\\t=\dfrac{0.622\times (3.85-(-4.23))}{72.9}\\\\t=0.0689\ s[/tex]

So, the time of contact is 0.0689 s.

The forces of push and pull

Explanation:

In the egg drop experiment, the egg is balanced on top of a toilet paper tube and balanced on a pan. The pan itself is placed on top of a glass of water. When the experimenter uses his hands to push the pan, the force of gravity pulls the egg downwards making it move down, right into the glass of water.

So the two forces which are applied in opposite directions are;

1. The force of push applied horizontally by the hand when it pushes the pan away, and

2. The force of pull caused by gravity which makes the egg move vertically downwards.

Answer:

Forces of push and pull
