Data given:

m=12840kg

a=0.490m/s²

Formula:

F=ma

Solution:

F= 12840kg×0.490m/s²

F=6291.6N

A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 5.04 km/h (1.4-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of t
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

the magnitude of the average force on the bumper is 3189.8 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

In terms of force and displacement, work done is;

W =F^> × x^>

W = Fxcos\theta    ------- let this be equation 1

where F is force applied, x is displacement and θ is angle between force and displacement.

Now, since the displacement of the bumper and force acting on it is in the same direction,

hence, θ = 0°

we substitute into equation 1

W = Fxcos( 0° )

W = Fx ------- let this be equation 2

Now, using work energy theorem,

total work done on the system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.

W_{net = ΔKE

= \frac{1}{2}mv² -  \frac{1}{2}mu² --------- let this be equation 3

where m is mass of object, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity.

from equation 2 and 3

Fx = \frac{1}{2}mv² -  \frac{1}{2}mu²

we make F, the subject of formula

F = \frac{m}{2x}( v² - u² )

given that mass of car m = 830 kg, x = 0.255 m, v = 0 m/s, and u = 1.4 m/s

so we substitute

F = \frac{830}{(2)(0.255)}( (0)² - (1.4)² )

F = 1627.45098 ( 0 - 1.96 )

F = 1627.45098 ( - 1.96 )

F = -3189.8 N

The negative sign indicates that the direction of the force was in opposite compare to the direction of the velocity of the car.

Therefore, the magnitude of the average force on the bumper is 3189.8 N

Find the current i in:
lawyer [7]

Answer:

I = 24 A

Explanation:

This is Parallel Circuit and it is the first principle of parallel circuit that voltage will be equal in all components in the circuit

It includes 10 resistors Therefore the voltage across,

R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = R5 = R6 = R7 = R8 = R9 = R10 = voltage in battery

<h2>Ohm's Law</h2>

We will apply Ohm's Law to each resistor to find its current because we know the voltage across each resistor is 12 V  and the resistance of each resistor is 5Ω

I (R1) = E (R1) / R1

I (R1) = 12v / 5Ω

I (R1) = 2.4 A

The value resistance E of all resistors are same therefore by applying the formula above the value of current in all resistors will be 2.4 A

The Total current in the circuit will be

I (total) = I (1) + I (2) + I (3) + I (4) + I (5) + I (6) + I (7) + I (8) + I (9) + I (10)

I (total) = 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4

I (total) = 24 A

How can a volcano develop in the middle of a tectonic plate?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Volcanoes that form away from plate boundaries are created by hotspots. A hotspot is an area in the mantle that is believed to be somewhat hotter than the surrounding material. The rising magma from the hotspot can push its way through the crust and burst out at the surface, forming a volcano.
