To test the resiliency of its bumper during low-speed collisions, a 2 840-kg automobile is driven into a brick wall. The car's b

umper behaves like a spring with a force constant 6.00 106 N/m and compresses 3.98 cm as the car is brought to rest. What was the speed of the car before impact, assuming no mechanical energy is transformed or transferred away during impact with the wall

Answer:

V= 1.82 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

mass , m = 2840 kg

Spring constant ,K = 6 x 10⁶ N/m

Compression in the spring , x = 3.98 cm

Lets take speed of the car before impact = V

Now by using energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}Kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2

Kx^2=mv^2

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{Kx^2}{m}}

Now by putting the values in the above equation

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{6\times 10^6\times (3.98\times 10^{-2})^2}{2840}}

V= 1.82 m/s

Therefore the speed of the car before impact will be 1.82 m/s.

Suppose that you are swimming in a river while a friend watches from the shore. In calm water, you swim at a speed of 1.25 m/s .
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.

Explanation:

  • Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
  • Let S_{0} be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.

  • Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
  • The direction of the swimmer is upstream.

Hence the resultant velocity is given as, S_{R} = S — S 0S_{0}

S_{R} = 1.25 — 1

S_{R} = 0.25 m/s.

Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.

What does each system help you do?
Maru [420]

Explanation:

1.The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. 

2. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, ect...

3. Sympathetic Division is a term used by researchers and medical practitioners to describe the subdivision of the autonomic nervous system (that controls involuntary and automatic physical reactions) that responds to emergency situations by mobilizing and controlling the energy necessary to cope with the situation.

4. The part of the autonomic nervous system that tends to act in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system, as by slowing down the heart and dilating the blood vessels. It also regulates the function of many glands, such as those that produce tears and saliva.

5. a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.
