You can compare the velocity of the car, 60 mph, with the velocity that a mass would acquire when falls from certain height.

First, convert 60 mph to m/s:

60 miles/h * 1.60 km/mile * 1000 m/km * 1h/3600s = 26.67 m/s

Second, calculate from what height a body in free fall reachs 26.67 m/s velocity when hits the floor.

free fall => Vf^2 = 2g*H => H = Vf^2 / (2g)

H = (26.67m/s)^2 / (2*9.8 m/s) = 36.2 m

If you consider that the height between the floors of a building is approximately 3.6 m, you get 36.2 m / 3.6 m/floor = 10 floors.

Then, you conclude that the force of impact is the same as driving you vehicle off a 10 story building.

A pitcher throws a 0.14-kg baseball toward the batter so that it crosses home plate horizontally and has a speed of 42 m/s just
kykrilka [37]

Answer

given,

mass of base ball = 0.14 kg

speed before it made the contact with the ball (V i) = 42 m/s

speed after batter hit the ball(V f) = - 48 m/s

a)                                            

impulse = change in momentum

             = m\times (V_f-V_i)      

             =0.14\times (-48-42)

             = -12.6 Kg m/s

Magnitude of impulse = 12.6 Kg m/s

b)                                                        

Force = \dfrac{impulse}{time}

          =  \dfrac{12.6}{0.005}

Force = 2520 N

A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

Calculate the number of electrons in a small, electrically neutral silver pin that has a mass of 7.1 g. Silver has 47 electrons
Assoli18 [71]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of electrons in given amount of silver are 1.87\times 10^{24}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

We are given:

Given mass of silver = 7.1 g

Molar mass of silver = 107.87 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of silver}=\frac{7.1g}{107.87g/mol}=0.066mol

Number of electrons in 1 atom of silver = 47

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an element contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of particles

So, 0.066 moles of silver will contain = -(0.066\times 47\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.87\times 10^{24} number of electrons

Hence, the number of electrons in given amount of silver are 1.87\times 10^{24}
