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

What culture gave the visiting europeans eyeglasses and silk fabric
kondor19780726 [428]
The culture that gave the visiting Europeans eyeglasses and silk fabric was the Chinese civilization. The Chinese invented eyeglasses over a 1,000 years ago<span>, according to British scientist and historian Sir Joseph Needman. By the time Marco Polo arrived in China around 1270, eyeglasses (which he mentions in his accounts) were widely used in Chinese upper class. On the other hand, s</span>ilk has been used by the Chinese for approximately 5,000 years.<span> The earliest evidence of silk dates back to around 4,000-3,000 BC in Shanxi province, where a culture silk cocoon was found.</span>
