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.

If the absolute temperature of a gas is 600 K, the temperature in degrees Celsius is: A. 705°C. B. 873°C. C. 273°C. D. 327°C
zlopas [31]

Answer:

D). 327 ^0 C

Explanation:

As we know that temperature scale is linear so we will have

\frac{^0C - 0}{100 - 0} = \frac{K - 273}{373 - 273}

now we have

\frac{^0 C - 0}{100} = \frac{K - 273}{100}

so the relation between two scales is given as

^0 C = K - 273

now we know that in kelvin scale the absolute temperature is 600 K

so now we have

T = 600 - 273 = 327 ^0 C

so correct answer is

D). 327 ^0 C

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount
igor_vitrenko [27]
In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.

A guitarist finds that the pitch of one of her strings is slightly flat—the frequency is a bit too low. Should she increase or d
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The guitarist should increase the tension of the string.

Explanation:

The frequency of a vibrating string is determined by fn=(n/(2L))√T/μ. So if the tension in the string increased, the rate at which it vibrates (the frequency) will also increase.

Therefore it is advisable that she increase the tension of the string.

I hope it helps, please give brainliest if it does
