In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron

t end crumples so much that the truck is 0.62 m shorter than before.
(a) What is the average speed of the truck during the collision (that is, during the interval between the first contact with the wall and coming to a stop)?
(b) About how long does the collision last? (That is, how long is the interval between first contact with the wall and coming to a stop?)
(c) What is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the wall on the truck during the collision?
(d) It is interesting to compare this force to the weight of the truck. Calculate the ratio of the force of the wall to the gravitational force mg on the truck. This large ratio shows why a collision is so damaging.
(e) What approximations were necessary in making this analysis? (Select all that apply.)

a. Neglect the horizontal component of the force of the road on the truck tires.
b. Assume a nearly constant force exerted by the wall, so the speed changes at a nearly constant rate.
c. The deceleration of the truck is approximately equal to g.

Answer:

a)   v_average = 11 m / s, b)  t = 0.0627 s

, c)    F = 7.37 10⁵ N

, d)   F / W = 35.8

Explanation:

a) truck speed can be found with kinematics

         v² = v₀² - 2 a x

The fine speed zeroes them

           a = v₀² / 2x

           a = 22²/2 0.69

           a = 350.72 m / s²

The average speed is

           v_average = (v + v₀) / 2

           v_average = (22 + 0) / 2

           v_average = 11 m / s

b) The average time

          v = v₀ - a t

          t = v₀ / a

          t = 22 / 350.72

          t = 0.0627 s

c) The force can be found with Newton's second law

             F = m a

             F = 2100 350.72

             F = 7.37 10⁵ N

.d) the ratio of this force to weight

             F / W = 7.37 10⁵ / (2100 9.8)

             F / W = 35.8

.e) Several approaches will be made:

- the resistance of air and tires is neglected

- It is despised that the force is not constant in time

- Depreciation of materials deformation during the crash

Papessa [141]
<span>3.78 m Ignoring resistance, the ball will travel upwards until it's velocity is 0 m/s. So we'll first calculate how many seconds that takes. 7.2 m/s / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.77945 s The distance traveled is given by the formula d = 1/2 AT^2, so substitute the known value for A and T, giving d = 1/2 A T^2 d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 (0.77945 s)^2 d = 4.905 m/s^2 0.607542 s^2 d = 2.979995 m So the volleyball will travel 2.979995 meters straight up from the point upon which it was launched. So we need to add the 0.80 meters initial height. d = 2.979995 m + 0.8 m = 3.779995 m Rounding to 2 decimal places gives us 3.78 m</span>

An airplane is heading south at a speed of 600km/h. If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 100km/h, calculate
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Here's what I got:

Let's assume that N and E are + directions while S and W are - directions.

Wind is blowing from SW; thus, it is blowing towards NE (or at 45 deg N of E).

Dividing the wind's speed into components:y-component: +70.71 km/h; x-component: +70.71 km/h

Dividing the airplane's speed into components:y-component: -600 km/h; x-component: 0 km/h

Adding the components to get the resulting components:y-component: -529.29 km/h; x-component: +70.71

Using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the resulting speed:v^2 = y^2 + x^2 so v = 533.99 km/h

To find the angle of direction, use arctan (y/x):arctan (529.29/70.71) = 82.39 deg

ANSWER: velocity = 533.99 km/h at 82.39 deg S of E
