Homework Answers
In one word, the answer is Inertia.
Inertia is defined as the state of being at rest or motion.
Let the driver is moving with a certain velocity v along +X direction. The driver inside the car is also moving with the same velocity.By Newton's 1st law, everybody continues in its state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force.When suddenly breaks are applied the car comes to a stop, but the driver will continue its motion along +X due to inertia of motion and hit the steering wheel. Note here, the brakes brought the car to the stop not the driver. Hence, he must wear a seat-belt to stop him hitting the steering wheel.

Seatbelts provide two main advantages in a car accident (1) they keep you from being thrown from the car and (2) they reduce the force that acts on your during the collision to survivable levels. This second benefit can be illustrated by comparing the net force encountered by a driver in a head-on collision with and without a seat belt. 1) A driver wearing a seat beat decelerates at roughly the same rate as the car itself. Since many modern...

The driver of a car sets the cruise control and ties the steering wheel so that the car travels at a uniform speed of 15 m/s in a circle with a diameter of 130 m . Through what angular distance does the car move in 4.10 min ? Express your answer using two significant figures. What arc length does it travel in this time? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Seatbelts provide two main advantages in a car accident: (i) they keep you from being thrown from the car, and (ii) they reduce the force that acts on you during the collision to survivable levels. The second benefit can be illustrated by comparing the net force exerted on the driver of a car in a head-on collision with and without a seatbelt. (a) A driver wearing a seatbelt decelerates at the same rate as the car itself. Since modern cars...

((QUESTION 1)) The driver of a car sets the cruise control and ties the steering wheel so that the car travels at a uniform speed of 15m/s in a circle with a diameter of 100m . Part A Through what angular distance does the car move in 3.70min ? Express your answer using two significant figures. ? = ____________ rad Part B What arc length does it travel in this time?

A car is moving at a relatively slow speed, let's say a good running speed for a short distance sprint, when it hits a solid wall (top figure). The car comes to a complete stop, with a somewhat shorter front section now. The driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, tries to hold himself off the steering wheel. Let us find the necessary average force acting on the 86-kg driver that is necessary to bring him to a complete...

Two vehicles are approaching each other on a 2 way highway when a steering failure occurs on vehicle A. At this point, driver A can take evasive action and if not, driver B may take evasive action. If driver A does (with a probability of 0.7), no collision will occur. If driver A does not, there is a probability of 0.8 that driver B will take evasive action. If driver B does, the probability of a head on collision is...

Problem 2 Krombach Auto Corporation, a German manufacturer of cars, investigates their steering wheel attachment process. A steering wheel needs some “Spiel”, a small range where moving the steering wheel does not turn the tires. This increases driving safety, as not every small movement by the often nervous driver is picked up by the car. However, if the Spiel is too large, drivers will feel uncomfortable and have the impression that the car does not react to their action. Krombach...
