explain why a high-speed collision between two cars would cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same two cars

1 answer:

8 0

The force equation can easily prove this. F=ma. This states that the force on an object is equal to mass times acceleration. If the mass stays the same and the velocity of the cars increases than that means there is a larger force. This is because in both cases the cars are stopping in almost an instant and the times of the crashes are theoretically identical. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. If the velocity is higher with the same amount of time than that means there is a higher acceleration. If you plug a higher acceleration into the force equation then you wind up with a higher force and in turn a more damaging collision.

The conductor is initially electrically neutral, and then a charge q is placed at the center of the hollow space. Suppose the co

Anvisha [2.4K]

The total charge on the interior of the conductor is zero.

The total charge on the exterior of the conductor is 8q.

<h3>Total charge on the interior</h3>

Due to large number of electrons available for conduction in a conductor, most of the electrons moves to surface leaving zero net charge inside the conductor.

Thus, the total charge on the interior of the conductor is zero.

<h3>Total charge on the exterior</h3>

The total charge on the exterior of the conductor is calculated as follows;

Q = q + 7q = 8q

Thus, the total charge on the exterior of the conductor is 8q.

What is the acceleration of an object that goes from 45m/s to 10 m/s in 5 seconds?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= -7 \ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

$a= \frac {v_f-v_i}{t}$

The object accelerates <em>from</em> 45 meters per second <em>to </em>10 meters per second in 5 seconds. Therefore,

$v_f=10 \ m/s \\v_i= 45 \ m/s \\t= 5 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$a= \frac{ 10 \ m/s - 45 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Solve the numerator.

$a= \frac { -35 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Divide.

$a= -7 \ m/s/s$

$a= -7 \ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is -7 meters per square second. The acceleration is negative because the object's velocity decreases and the object slows down.
