Two cars, with the same mass and traveling at the same speed, hit large trees head-on. One car has a rigid body that undergoes l

ittle or no deformation in the collision. The other has ``crumple zones'': portions of the body designed to crumple and deform in such a collision. How does this improve the chances that the driver of the second car will survive the event

The crumple zones in the second car will improve the chance of survival of the driver because it will act as shock absorber, reducing the impact of the force on the driver.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite.

The car with rigid body will exert maximum force to the driver while the car with crumple zone will exert lesser force to the driver since the crumple zone will act as shock absorber, reducing the impact of the force on the driver.

Thus, the crumple zones in the second car will improve the chance of survival of the driver because it will act as shock absorber, reducing the impact of the force on the driver.

The same ball is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far befor
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The new height the ball will reach = (1/4) of the initial height it reached.

Explanation:

The energy stored in any spring material is given as (1/2)kx²

This energy is converted to potential energy, mgH, of the ball at its maximum height.

If the initial height reached is H

And the initial compression of the spring = x

So, mgH = (1/2)kx²

H = kx²/2mg

The new compression, x₁ = x/2

New energy of loaded spring = (1/2)kx₁²

And the new potential energy = mgH₁

mgH₁ = (1/2)kx₁²

But x₁ = x/2

mgH₁ = (1/2)k(x/2)² = kx²/8

H₁ = kx²/8mg = H/4 (provided all the other parameters stay constant)

The efficiency of a screw is low because of _____.
AfilCa [17]
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the second option. A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. <span>The efficiency of a screw is low because there is more input than output. In other words, it is because of friction. Hope this answer helps.</span>

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

          v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

         n = c / v

         

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

         

         v = d / t

         v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

         v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

        n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

        n = 1,875

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No because like my other answer if we put to many diesels on it it will crack and little by little it will break eventually everyone will come tumbling into the water making them drown because they can't get the buckles loose or they wanted to save their families lives
