The magnitude of force acting on the bumper is 3760 N.

<h3>What is Work energy theorem?</h3>

It states that the Work done in moving a body is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the body

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

Given is a car's bumper designed to withstand 4.32 km/h or 1.2 m/s collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance.

The cushion collapses 0.180 m while bringing 940 kg car to rest from a initial speed of 1.2 m/s

Work done = Force x displacement

As the displacement of the bumper and force acted on it is in same direction, so the work done is

W = Fxcos0° = Fx

The body is coming to rest, so, final velocity is zero. Then, change in kinetic energy will be

ΔK.E = K.Ef - K.Ei

ΔK.E = m/2 (v² - u²)

According to work energy theorem, work done is

W = Fx = m/2 (v² - u²)

Substitute the value and calculate the force,

F = [940 x (0² - 1.2²)] / 2x0.180

F = 3760 N

Thus, the magnitude of force is 3760 N.

Which of these statements best proves that electromagnetic forces are weaker than strong nuclear forces? Neutrons do not repel o

MAVERICK [17]

Protons do not move out of the nucleus of atoms although they repel each other.

Remember that protons are particles with positive charge and they held together in the nucleus of the atom which is a tiny tiny region. As you know, like charges repel each other, which means that the protons exert a repulsion force.

A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 450 feet per second at an angle of 70° with the horizontal.

pav-90 [236]

<h2>After 26.28 seconds projectile returns 26.28 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

Initial velocity = 450 ft/s = 137.16 m/s

Angle, θ = 70°

Consider the vertical motion of projectile,

When the projectile return to the ground we have

Displacement, s = 0 m

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 137.16 x sin70 = 128.89 m/s

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = ut + 0.5 at²

0 = 128.89 x t + 0.5 x (-9.81) x t²

t² - 26.28 t = 0

t ( t- 26.28) = 0

t = 0 s or t = 26.28 s

After 26.28 seconds projectile returns 26.28 seconds.

What does an unconformity in a sequence of rock layers reveal about geologic history?

andreev551 [17]

An unconformity, or abnormality in the layers of rocks, signifies that the process of layering was somehow interrupted. The only feasible choice for this would be (B), where erosion would have interrupted the layering process.

A 3.00-kg object has a velocity 1 6.00 i ^ 2 2.00 j ^2 m/s. (a) what is its kinetic energy at this moment? (b) what is the net w

tatyana61 [14]

(a) The velocity of the object on the x-axis is 6 m/s, while on the y-axis is 2 m/s, so the magnitude of its velocity is the resultant of the velocities on the two axes:
$v= \sqrt{(6.00m/s)^2+(2.00 m/s)^2}=6.32 m/s$
And so, the kinetic energy of the object is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(6.32 m/s)^2=60 J$

(b) The new velocity is 8.00 m/s on the x-axis and 4.00 m/s on the y-axis, so the magnitude of the new velocity is
$v= \sqrt{(8.00 m/s)^2+(4.00 m/s)^2}=8.94 m/s$
And so the new kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(8.94 m/s)^2=120 J$

So, the work done on the object is the variation of kinetic energy of the object:
$W=\Delta K=120 J-60 J=60 J$
