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 is the relationship between the center of gravity and the support base for an object that is in stable equilibrium?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

when the center of gravity is within the washing area, the torque returns in the body to its initial position and is in a stable equilibrium

Explanation:

The concept of center of gravity is equivalent to the concept of center of mass, in this place all external forces applied can be considered.

When we analyze the balance of a body that is the torque it is the one that defines the balance

      τ = F xd

If the torque tends to restore the body to the initial position the balance is stable, but if the torque has to increase the body's rotation the balance is unstable

. When the body tends to rotate the torque with respect to the pivot point at the base it decreases because the distance from the center of gravity to the end of the base decreases in value, but it has to return it to the initial position, the balance is stable. The critical point of this process is when the center of gravity is at the limit of the body base area in this case the torque is zero; If the body rotates a little more the center of gravity is outside the base, the torque changes sign and has to increase the turn, going to an unstable balance.

In summary, when the center of gravity is within the washing area, the torque returns in the body to its initial position and is in a stable equilibrium.

Copper wire is 1. 9 mm in diameter and carries a current of 20 a. What is the electric field stregnth inside this wire?
Tju [1.3M]

The electric field strength will be 0.6252 V/m. It is the strength at which the field is created by charges.

<h3>What is electric file strength?</h3>

The electric field strength is defined as the ratio of electric force and charge.

The electric field strength is found as;

\rm E = \frac{I \rho }{A} \\\\ \rm E = \frac{20  \times 1.68 \times 10^{-8} }{ (0.6385 \times 10^{-6}} \\\\ E= 0.5262 \  V/m

Hence, the electric field strength will be 0.6252 V/m.

To learn more about the electric field strength, refer to the link;
