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

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.

If a car travels 80 miles between 2 and 4 pm, then its velocity is close to 40 mph at 2 pm.
Alisiya [41]
The answer should be false because it doesnt say if the car is traveling at constant speed. The cars speed can be various so that in total for 2 hours that it travels it passes 80 miles. If however it actually traveled at constant speed than the answer is true.

A.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

A) Option 1 is the correct answer.

B) Option 4 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A) Weight of liquid = 7 N

    Volume of liquid = 1 L = 0.001 m³

    Specific weight =  \frac{7}{0.001}=7000N/m^3

    Density = \frac{7000}{9.81}=713.5kg/m^3

    Specific gravity = \frac{713.5}{1000}=0.7135

    Option 1 is the correct answer.

B) The Stokes(St) is the cgs physical unit for kinematic viscosity, named after George Gabriel Stokes.

We have

             1 St = 10⁻⁴ m²/s

    Option 4 is the correct answer.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

(d) 22.22 °C

Explanation:

Because in 1 Celcius is 1.8 fahrenheit apart from 2 celcius, so

when °C is 0 f is 32, when °C is 1 = 33.8 , so it rises with quantities of 1.8 fahrenheit

What is the dimensional formulae of "Mass per unit Area"?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer&Explanation:

Since dimensional formula is the way of expressing physical quantity in terms of it's dimension;

Mass per unit area will be,,

Mass=M

Area=L×L=L²

Therefore dimensional formula is=ML^-2 and not M/L²

A liquid at rest in a fixed container exerts a force perpendicular to the wall of the container. Two students make claims about
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Given that a liquid at rest in a fixed container exerts a force perpendicular to the wall of the container. Two students make claims about the microscopic cause of this force. Student A says that the force exerted by individual molecules as they bounce off the wall is always perpendicular to the wall. Student B says that the molecules may strike the wall at angles that are not perpendicular. Which student is correct and why?

The correct answer is option C

Student B . The molecules in a liquid are in random motion at the microscopic scale. For every atom that hits at an angle to one side of perpendicular, there is likely to be another atom hitting at the same speed at the same angle on the other side of perpendicular. On average the nonperpendicular components cancel
