small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the average

force due to the collision is correct? A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the average force due to the collision is correct? It is impossible to tell since the velocities are not given. The truck experiences the greater average force. It is impossible to tell since the masses are not given. The small car and the truck experience the same average force. The small car experiences the greater average force.

Answer:

The correct option is D: "The small car and the truck experience the same average force."

Explanation:

The magnitude of the average force experienced by both bodies in motion is the same as explained by Newton's third law of motion. The force exerted by each body is equal and opposite in direction. The resulting acceleration experienced by each vehicle, however, will not be the same. It is greater for the small car.

A balloon tied up with a wooden piece is moving upward with velocity of 15m/s. At a height of 300m above the ground, the wooden
Inessa05 [86]
Assume the wooden piece prevents the balloon from rising, is not so heavy as to cause the balloon to descend. and the 15 m/s is horizontal velocity “riding the wind,” That horizontal velocity does not affect the time the wood will take to reach the ground after release. Initial vertical velocity is zero.

s = u t + 1/2 g t^2

s is the height above ground, 300 m.

u is initial vertical velocity, zero.

t is time to reach the ground.

g is acceleration of gravity near Earth, 9.8 m/s^2.

300 m = 0 t + 1/2 (9.8 m/s^2) t^2

300 m = (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

61.22 s^2 = t^2

7.82 seconds = t

Set up a parallel circuit with three resistors. Set up the battery to be 9 V, one resistor at 10 Ohms, the other at 21 Ohms, and
valina [46]

In a parallel circuit, the equivalent resistance is the reciprocal of (the sum of the individual reciprocals).

1/R = 1/10 + 1/21 + 1/13

1/R = 0.225 mhos

R = 4.45 ohms

I = V / R

The total current out of the battery is

I = (9v)/(4.45ohms)

I = 2.02 Amperes

As the total current leaves the battery, it splits into 3 paths, and each resistor gets part of it. The 10ohm resistor gets the most current; the 21ohm resistor gets the least current. After flowing through the resistors, the 3 currents join and add up to 2.02 Amperes again, and the same current returns to the battery.

Each resistor has the same 9v of EMF across it.

If a car takes a banked curve at less than the ideal speed, friction is needed to keep it from sliding toward the inside of the
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. v₁ = 16.2 m/s

b. μ = 0.251

Explanation:

Given:

θ = 15 ° , r = 100 m , v₂ = 15.0 km / h

a.

To determine v₁ to take a 100 m radius curve banked at 15 °

tan θ  = v₁² / r * g

v₁ = √ r * g * tan θ

v₁ = √ 100 m * 9.8 m/s² * tan 15° = 16.2 m/s

b.

To determine μ friction needed for a frightened

v₂ = 15.0 km / h * 1000 m / 1 km * 1h / 60 minute * 1 minute / 60 seg

v₂ = 4.2 m/s

fk = μ * m * g

a₁ = v₁² / r = 16.2 ² / 100 m = 2.63 m/s²

a₂ = v₂² / r = 4.2 ² / 100 m = 0.18 m/s²

F₁ = m * a₁  ,  F₂ = m * a₂

fk = F₁ - F₂   ⇒  μ * m * g = m * ( a₁ - a₂)

μ * g = a₁ - a₂   ⇒  μ = a₁ - a₂ / g

μ = [ 2.63 m/s² - 0.18 m/s² ] / (9.8 m/s²)

μ = 0.251

A wave has a wavelength of 0.5 m and a frequency of 5.0 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?
mylen [45]
The correct option is (A) 2.5 m/s

Explanation:
Since,

v = fλ ---- (1)

where v = speed of the wave
f = frequency of the wave = 5 Hz
λ = wavelength of the wave = 0.5 

Plug in the value in (1):
(1) => v = 5 * 0.5
v = 2.5 m/s
