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

Rest and motion are relative terms. write in brief​
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.

Explanation With Example:

Imagine you are sitting inside a moving bus. When you look outside you will observe that you are moving. ... With respect to the roof of bus, you are at rest. Hence it is concluded that rest and motion are relative terms.

What happens when electrical energy is used to power stereo speakers? A. Energy is neither lost nor gained as electrical energy
Viktor [21]

Since energy can neither be created nor destroyed and it just changes from one form to another...so... A. Energy is neither lost nor gained as electrical energy is transformed into the energy of sound.

A 0.25-m string, vibrating in its sixth harmonic, excites a 0.96-m pipe that is open at both ends into its second overtone reson
Andrews [41]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

length of the pipe, L = 0.96 m

Speed of sound,v = 345 m/s

Resonating frequency when both the end is open

f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}

n is the Harmonic number

2nd overtone = 3rd harmonic

so, here n = 3

now,

f = \dfrac{3\times 345}{2\times 0.96}

f = 540 Hz

The common resonant frequency of the string and the pipe is closest to 540 Hz.

the correct answer is option D

(This is a non-relativistic warm-up problem, to get you to think about reference frames.) A girl throws a baseball upwards at ti
____ [38]

Answer:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

Explanation:

We set a frame of reference with origin at the hand of the girl the moment she releases the ball. We assume her hand will be in the same position when she catches it again. The positive X axis point upwards.The ball will be subject to a constant gravitational acceleration of -9.81 m/s^2.

We use the equation for position under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2

X0 = 0 because it is at the origin of the coordinate system.

We know that at t = 2, the position will be zero.

X(2) = 0 = V0 * 2 + 1/2 * -9.81 * 2^2

0 = 2 * V0 - 4.9 * 4

2 * V0 = 19.6

V0 = 9.8 m/s

Then the position of the ball as a function of time is:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2
