Transcribed Image Text:Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on
the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are
designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of
an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance
of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant
restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By
contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no
loss of speed (Newton's first law!) until hitting the dashboard or
windshield. These are unyielding surfaces, and the unfortunate
occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm.
Part A
A 65 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 13 m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air
bag deploys.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

- A force is acting between the surfaces of these two solid objects where one object is sliding on the surface of another object. The presence of this force makes the object start to slow down. In which direction does this force act in relation to the motion of the object? O This force is acting perpendicular to the velocity of the object. This force is acting in the opposite direction as the velocity of the object. This force is acting at an angle to the velocity of the object. O This force is acting in the same direction as the velocity of the object.arrow_forwarda a resistive force of magnitude (kmv - ma) N, where k and a are constants.

- Problem A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression: a Fnew + Be* + 3x4 where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Hig gs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole. Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x2 to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity, consider that no energy is lost in the process) Solution To determine the work done we apply the following W = dx Evaluating the above, we get W = | | + e + for the limits from xj to Xf substituting x1 and x2 as the limits, the work done is expressed as W = | | + B X1 ( x15 - x2 )arrow_forwardn her?
