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

Physics

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.

Why is salt water a better conductor of electricity than river water?
Tamiku [17]

Answer: The conductivity of water depends on the concentration of dissolved ions in solution. ... This is because the Sodium Chloride salt dissociates into ions. Hence sea water is about a million times more conductive than fresh water.

Physics question i appreciate your help please
den301095 [7]

Solution: From the given question, we shall find the vector quantity among the

(A) Time , (B) Velocity, (C) Distance , (D) Speed

Concept: <u>Vector Quantity: </u>All those physical quantities which have magnitude as well as specific directions, are called Vector Quantities.

Here, Time, Distance and Speed have only magnitude but have no directions so they will be scalar quantities.

Now, <u>Velocity:</u> It is defined as the change in displacement per unit time. Since the change in the displacement will be in particular direction only. Hence, velocity will be the vector quantity.

Hence, the option (B) Velocity will be the correct option.

_______ is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass. a. magnetism b. gravity c. weight d. deposition
ICE Princess25 [194]
<span>The question is asking us to fill in the gap in: (gap) is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass.The correct answer is b. gravity. People don't know that gravity works both ways: both objects atract each. The reason why we're more attracted to Earth than Earth is pulled to us is that Earth has a much higher mass - the bigger the mass, the stronger the atraction</span>
