Kinetic energy<span> increases with the square of the velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2). If the velocity is doubled, the KE quadruples. Therefore, the </span>stopping distance<span> should increase by a factor of four, assuming that the driver is </span>can<span> apply the brakes with sufficient precision to almost lock the brakes.</span>

A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 6.12 km/h (1.7-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of t
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

5572.8 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F  = ma.............. Equation 1

Where F = Force, m = mass of the car, a = acceleration.

We can find a by applying,

v² = u²+2as............. Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration,  = distance.

From the question,

Given: v = 0 m/s (come to rest), u = 1.7 m/s, s = 0.210 m

Substitute these value into equation 2

0² = 1.7²+2×0.21×a

a = -1.7²/(2×0.21)

a = -2.89/0.42

a = -6.88 m/s²

Also given: m = 810 kg

Substitute these value into equation 1

F = 810(-6.88)

F = -5572.8 N

Hence the force on the bumber is 5572.8 N

At what distance (in m) is the electrostatic force between two electrons equal to the weight of one?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Electrostatic force between two electrons is equal to weight of one electron

i.e.

\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}=m_e\cdot g

where q_1,q_2 are the charge of particles

m_e=mass of electron

r=distance between them

\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{r^2}=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8

r=5.08\ m

The moon doesn't fall to earth because of it's friction?​
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The Moon does not fall towards Earth right now because Earth rotates itself. The energy from the Earth's own rotation around its axis is gradually tranferred into energy of the Moon's orbital motion. That's why the Earth's rotating speed decreases but the distance to the Moon increases.

When cooking frozen cheese ravioli, the directions say to put the 255 grams of filled pasta into 3 quarts of boiling water. Why
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a. T_f=95.14^{\circ}C

b. T_f=86.4^{\circ}C

It is asked for 3 quarts of water  because it prevents the temperature drop.

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of frozen cheese, m_c=255\ g
  • quantity of water suggested for the given cheese, m_w=3\ quarts\times 946.35=2839.05\ g
  • initial temperature of cheese, T_{ic}=-40^{\circ}\ C
  • specific heat of cheese, c_c=0.4\ cal.g^{-1}.^{\circ}C^{-1}
  • initial temperature of water, T_{iw}=100^{\circ}\ C

a.

  • we have specific heat of water, c_w=1\ cal.g^{-1}.^{\circ}C^{-1}

so now, we use the heat equation to find the amount of heat exchange during the process:

m_c\times c_c\times \Delta T=m_w\times c_w\times \Delta T

255\times 0.4\times (T_f-(-40))=2839.05\times 1\times (100-T_f)

T_f=95.14^{\circ}C

b.

when using 1 quart of water:

255\times 0.4\times (T_f-(-40))=946.35\times 1\times (100-T_f)

T_f=86.4^{\circ}C

It is asked for 3 quarts of water  because it prevents the temperature drop.
