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.

In 0.60 seconds, a projectile goes from 0 to 610 m/s. What is the acceleration of the projectile?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: a=1016.66 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Acceleration a is expressed in the following formula:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{t}

Where:

V_{f}=610 m/s is the final velocity of the projectile

V_{o}=0 m/s  is the initial velocity of the projectile

t=0.6 s is the time

Solving:

a=\frac{610 m/s-0 m/s}{0.6 s}

a=1016.66 m/s^{2} This is the acceleration of the projectile

Wil-E-Coyote drops a bowling ball off a cliff to try to catch the Roadrunner. The cliff is
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

t = 5.19 s

Explanation:

We have,

Height of the cliff is 132 m

It is required to find the time taken by the ball to fall to the ground. Let t is the time taken. So, using equation of kinematics as :

y=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\\text{since}\ u=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2y}{g}}\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 132}{9.8}}\\\\t=5.19\ s

So, it will take 5.19 seconds to fall to the ground.
