In a head on collision between two cars traveling at 20 m/s (44.7 mph), both cars are brought to a complete stop in 150 ms. Part A: calculate the restraining force required on a 87.2 kg passenger to remain firmly in their seat during such a head on impact. Part B: The weight of an average 175 pound adult is 778 newtons. Imagine if a person in the backseat of one of these cars chose not to wear their seatbelt and instead attempted to use their arms to hold them selves against the seat back. To visualize the strength required to accomplish this, calculate the number of average adults this person have to be able to hold up against gravity in order to accomplish this feat. The restraining forces in part a is equivalent to the combined weight of how many 175 pound adults?

The bubbles in a carbonated soft drink are produced when carbonic acid decomposes to form carbon dioxide and water. in a closed system, this equilibrium exists as why does a carbonated soft drink lose carbonation when the container is left open? a. water evaporates, which favors the formation of h2co3. b. pressure decreases, which favors the formation of h2co3. c. the open container warms up, which causes more gas to escape. d. co2is removed, which favors the formation of h2co3.

Atrain is traveling at 30.0 m/s relative to the ground in still air. the frequency of the note emitted by the train whistle is 262 hz. the speed of sound in air should be taken as 344 m/s. what frequency (f approach) is heard by a passenger on a train moving at a speed of 18.0 m/s relative to the ground in a direction opposite to the first train and approaching it? what frequency (f recede) is heard by a passenger on a train moving at a speed of 18.0 m/s relative to the ground in a direction opposite to the first train and receding from it?
