If you lose control of your vehicle and collide with a fixed object, such as a tree, at 60 m.p.h., the force of impact is the sa me as driving your vehicle off a
1 answer:
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.

Answer:
Geometrical optics, or ray optics, describes the propagation of light in terms of "rays" which travel in straight lines, and whose paths are governed by the laws of reflection and refraction at interfaces between different media.
