A car traveling 95 km/h strikes a tree. The front end of the car compresses and the driver comes to rest after traveling 0.80 m

. Part A What was the magnitude of the average acceleration of the driver during the collision?

Assuming the acceleration is constant, then we can use the derived equations for rectilinear motion. The equation is written below:

2ax = v²- v₀²
where
a is the acceleration
x is the distance
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity

Since the car came to a stop, v = 0. Substituting the values,
2a(0.80 m) =0² -  [(95 km/h)(1000 m/1 km)(1 h/3600 s)]²
Solving for a,
a = -435.23 m/s²
The sign is negative because it is decelerating.

The magnitude of the average acceleration of the driver during the collision is about 440 m/s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

This problem is about Kinematics.

We will solve it in the following way.

<u>Given:</u>

initial velocity of the car = u = 95 km/h = (475/18) m/s

distance = d = 0.80 m

final velocity of the car = v = 0 m/s

<u>Unknown:</u>

acceleration = a = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

v^2 = u^2 + 2ad

0^2 = (475/18)^2 + 2a(0.80)

a = -(475/18)^2 \div 1.6

a \approx -440 ~ m/s^2

The radiations detected by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson
were the original heat from the Big Bang.

Today, we call those waves the "Cosmic Microwave Background".

I'm not sure, but I think those guys were awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics
for that discovery.

The density of water is 1.00 g/cm3. What is its density in kg/m3?
r-ruslan [8.4K]
1 g = 1 ÷ 1000 kg
= 0.001 kg

1 cm³ = 1 ÷ 100 ÷ 100 ÷ 100 m³
= 0.000001 m³

1 g/cm³ = 1 g / 1 cm³
= 0.001 kg / 0.000001 m³
= 1000 kg/m³

The density is 1000 kg/m³.
